The values of MIS Shekou曼校蛇口校區的理念
Two thousand years ago the Roman Educator, Quintilian, wrote:“Virtus preceptoris est ingeniorum notare discriminia.” “The excellence of the teacher is to identify the differences in talents of pupils.”
兩千年前，羅馬教育家昆蒂利安寫道：”老師的卓越之處體現在“挖掘出學生的天賦。”
We strive for our students to become global citizens. Intrinsic to this is the cultivation of both
British and Chinese manners. 我們努力讓我們的學生成為全球公民。在學術之外，需要在內在培養學生具有來自中國和英國良好的禮儀與品格。
Outside of academics, manners and the development of character lies at the heart of what we do. Communication and perspective is central to global citizenship; we encourage and guide our students to do the following:
溝通和觀點是成為全球公民的核心技能之一;我們鼓勵和引導我們的學生做到以下幾點：
· When communicating, to have direct eye contact with the person you are speaking to.交流時，與交談者需要眼神交流。
· To say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in a sincere manner.真誠地說“請”和“謝謝”。
· To be able to welcome people through a warm shaking of the hand.能夠通過熱情的握手來歡迎人們。
· To be able to speak to visitors in a charming and meaningful way能夠富有魅力而有意義地與他人交談。
· In competitions or sport - being able to win or lose with good grace and understand the meaning of fair play.在比賽或運動中，能夠優雅地面對輸贏，并理解公平競爭的含義。
Developing interests發展興趣
Our extensive co-curricular program is underpinned by the aspiration of wanting each student to discover a hobby or interest which they have a passion for and one in which their skills and potential are maximized. For a student, ‘being good in a given subject or activity,’ develops a sense of confidence and self-worth which is a key for successful learning.
我們廣泛的課外活動以每個學生的興趣為基礎，發現他們的愛好，以及他們的技能和潛力被更大化。對于一個學生來說，“在設計好的學科或活動中表現出色”會發展出一種自信和自我認同感，這是學習成功的關鍵。
Moreover, we wish our students to be ambitious; we want each and everyone to have dreams at being the very best; if a MIS student loves playing the violin - start a journey in which they can be the very best they can be. Similarly, if a student is fascinated by Lego; empower them with the ambition to be the best student Lego constructor in Shenzhen and then the world!
此外，我們希望我們的學生志存高遠。每個人都有遠大的夢想：如果學生喜歡拉小提琴 ，他們可以努力成為優異的小提琴家。如果學生對樂高很著迷，他們可以立志成為深圳乃至世界好的樂高建設者!
With the right encouragement and direction, the higher a student aims, invariably, the more they will achieve.
在正確的鼓勵和指導下，學生的目標越高，他們就會取得更卓越的成就。
Developing leadership發展領導力
We strongly believe in encouraging students to fully use their creative capacities.
At MIS Shekou, we are different than most other schools both in Shenzhen and internationally, because we truly believe in developing leadership and giving our primary students areas of responsibility. 我們鼓勵學生充分發揮他們的創造力。在曼校蛇口校區，我們與深圳和國際上的許多學校都不同，因為我們深信培養小學生領導力及責任心的重要性。
By the age of 11, all of our primary pupils will have developed in the following ways:
我們的學生到11歲時，都將在以下方面得到發展：
· They all will have spoken in front of a public audience and within a formal setting. 他們都將在公眾面前和正式場合發言或演說。There are few greater joys than seeing a ‘nervous’ student overcome their fears and deliver a speech in a public setting. The key element here is that they know that the school believes in them; opportunities are not confined to just the very best public speakers - the ability to communicate is central to becoming a global citizen and this skill is nourished for all.沒有什么比一名“緊張”的學生克服恐懼，并在公共場合自如地發表演講更令人高興的事情了。這里的關鍵因素是學生們知道學校相信他們;機會不僅僅局限于優異的公眾演說家——溝通能力是成為全球公民的核心，這項技能是所有人都需要培養的。溝通能力是成為全球公民的核心技能之一，這種技能對所有人來說都是一種滋養。
· Within co-curricular activities and clubs, each student will be given a leadership responsibility.They will use this to guide the younger children and to help ensure that their club or activity continues to evolve.在課外活動和俱樂部中，每個學生都將被賦予領導責任。他們將以此來指導年幼的孩子，并幫助確認他們的俱樂部或活動繼續發展。Students will be actively involved and engaged in any school event; designing the programme, welcoming any guests and being role models for their school.學生將積極參與任何學校活動;設計活動、歡迎任何參與者，并成為學校的榜樣。
· We wish our students to be on a continuous pathway of discovery and exploration; to be inquisitive about the world they live in; to grow in intellectual curiosity and to widen their appreciation of both musical and artistic spheres. 我們希望我們的學生能夠不斷地發現和探索;對他們生活的世界充滿好奇;在求知欲中成長，并擴大他們對音樂和藝術領域的欣賞。
Our teachers 我們的師資
We believe in recruiting the very best teachers to educate your child. We employ dedicated,
qualified and talented staff who ‘live and breathe’ education. They recognise the differing
learning needs of each student and this is reflected in the meticulous planning and delivery of
each lesson. 我們招募優異的老師來培養您的孩子，合格和有才華的老師是教育提升和延續的根本。他們能認識每個學生的學習需求，并能精心設計和教授每節課。
As a leading educator and educational leader from the UK, Mr Harvey will rigorously monitor the impact that each lesson has on our learners to ensure that it is of an outstanding quality.來自英國的教育家和教育領者，Harvey校長將嚴格監控每節課對學生的影響，以確 保它的教學質量。
