Dapeng Peninsula is one of the eight most beautiful coasts in China, and its beautiful mountains and seas are world-famous. Covering an area of about 20,000 square metersNingbo International High SchoolRedford International School is located on the beautiful Dapeng Peninsula. This high-end boarding American international high school with first-class facilities inherits the educational will of New York State and provides the best American education to children in Shenzhen and even the country.

In the following August opening season, Redford International School's enrollment plan for 100 places will be officially launched nationwide.

What should a truly American international school look like?Ningbo International High School？Recently, the reporter walked into the office of President Zheng Huiyi of Shenzhen Redford International School, hoping to find the answer.

All-round American education

Shen Wan: As a strong economic city with reform and opening up, Shenzhen's attitude towards education is also very innovative and inclusive. In Shenzhen, various international schools are not uncommon. Zheng School, what considerations did Ridefu have in establishing the school?

Zheng Huiyi: There are indeed many international schools in Shenzhen, and there are various cooperative schools. But there is no truly purely American international school. As far as the current international education concept is concerned, American education is more open, diverse, innovative and inclusive.

In my opinion, an international school in the full sense must meet three conditions. First of all, the relationship between teachers and students is not that of teaching and being taught. The teacher must not tell the students to listen. Instead, they must learn together. Even if they say something wrong, they can be affirmed. Secondly, textbooks must be international textbooks. For example, American teachers will not strictly follow a certain textbook to teach, but will design their own teaching software or recommend students to read certain books. Ask students to conduct group discussions and prepare their own learning materials.

Redford wants to be a truly pure and beautiful school. From curriculum to teaching methods, from classroom to life, all aspects can make students feel adapted to American study and life, and truly transform them into their own way of thinking about study and life.

All-English environment

Shen Wan: As we all know, international schools are supposed to provide students with an international environment in advance, so that students can adapt faster and better to study and life abroad after going abroad. Does Redford have any special arrangements in this regard?

Zheng Huiyi: An all-English environment is very important to students. Whether it is teaching or living, whether it is in the classroom, campus, or dormitory, Redford is an all-English environment. This makes students feel like they are in an American high school, allowing their English to be rapidly improved.

Compared with traditional schools, Redford International School focuses on cultivating students 'individuality, independence, leadership and creativity. The American autonomous learning model of small classes (about 20 students in each class) can effectively enhance students 'interest in learning, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, give full play to the potential of each student, and achieve zero-gap competition with local American students. The teacher-student ratio of 1:5 can meet students 'one-on-one targeted counseling and provide them with 360-degree comprehensive care.

In terms of specialty teaching, Redford International School provides students with enough choices. Whether it is leadership ability training or management ability improvement, etc., it can lay a good foundation for students 'future career development path. The school's strong secondary education team will comprehensively enhance students 'soft power through extracurricular activities tutoring and first-hand experience sharing.

Cooperation with famous American courses

Shen Wan: Zheng Xiao, can you introduce us to Redford's curriculum system? What advantages do children attending Redford have in advancing to higher education?

Zheng Huiyi: Redford International School's education system is purely American education. By combining the experience of running schools in New York State, the United States, it brings the original flavor of world-class elite education to China. As long as they are admitted to Redford International School, they will be students from private aristocratic schools in New York State, USA after registration. After graduation, they can obtain a U.S. high school diploma, truly achieving seamless integration with the United States. Redford International School chose to cooperate with Chapel Field Christian School, which ranks among the best in New York State, USA, to fully introduce the advanced teaching curriculum system of private aristocratic high schools in the United States, absorb the school's excellent teacher resources, and use original American textbooks., taught by all foreign teachers.

More importantly, Redford International School has signed a strategic enrollment framework agreement with the University of Massachusetts in the United States. In the future, as the school develops, it will successively reach strategic agreements on relevant enrollment and international projects with high-quality prestigious schools. In other words, under the same conditions, students from Redford International School will enjoy preferential admission from the University of Massachusetts.

It is worth mentioning that Redford International School, as a high-school with science characteristics, has established a strategic partnership with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), the world's largest scientific and technological expertise society, and has organized and hosted participation in American or international science and mathematics and chemistry competitions to prepare students for points to enter prestigious American universities. Redford International School has also introduced the "Space Capsule" project developed by IEEE to encourage high school students to engage in engineering science education projects in the future.

Smooth communication platform between home and school

Late evening: International schools are all in the form of accommodation, and children are about to study abroad after high school. There is not much communication and communication between children and their parents. How does Redford solve this problem?

Zheng Huiyi: It is true that children living in international schools do not spend much time with their parents, and children in this age group may be more willing to communicate with their classmates and friends. Parents not only want their children to receive the world's top elite education, but also are unable to solve the psychological crisis of their children leaving their homes. The completion of Redford International School has brought the best solution to these parents. The campus is only an hour's drive from downtown Shenzhen, allowing children to return to their families on weekends, cultivate family awareness, and complete a smooth transition from Chinese education to American education with the company of their parents. The natural environment of blue sea and blue sky, complete and professional education and teaching facilities, and a relaxed and open learning atmosphere create a learning environment that is most suitable for children to grow up.

In order to achieve effective communication between parents and students, promote harmonious parent-child relations and ensure the effective extension of school education in the family, Ruidford International School will open a unique parent-child communication training class all year round. It will be taught by Mr. Geril, a child early education and psychology expert with rich experience and achievements.

At the same time, Redford International School has also built a transparent home-school contact platform to facilitate barrier-free communication between parents and the school. Even with closed management of full accommodation, parents can simultaneously and comprehensively understand their children's daily learning and life at school through the online platform.
