The educational model of Hangzhou Bilingual School – Hui Li School in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou – was developed through joint research by a team of experts and scholars in the field of education, including professors from Chinese and British universities, administrators from key schools in China, as well as multidisciplinary education experts from both countries. Huilì School in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, will adhere to the following three principles in its operation: Maintaining the values and characteristics of Huilì as always; Providing bilingual education by combining the strengths of Chinese and British educational systems; Focusing on the cultivation of 21st-century competencies and skills based on Chinese culture and history, so that students can become competent global citizens. These principles help shape the future of campus life and contribute to the development of the entire community. To gain a deeper understanding of our school’s educational model, we will explore and analyze these principles one by one below. Bilingual Education At Hangzhou Bilingual School – Hui Li School in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, our unique language teaching approach creates a bilingual environment with equal amounts of Chinese and English, enabling students to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in both languages within an immersive linguistic setting. To achieve this goal, we first clarify the definition of bilingual scholars. We define a “bilingual scholar” as someone who can switch freely between courses in two languages, and use both languages effortlessly for reading, writing, comprehension, thinking, and expression. In other words, they are able to seamlessly switch between cultures and languages in their studies, daily life, and leisure time. People who master two languages can think in both, tell jokes, and even dream in them. Mastering a language is an interesting experience that lasts a lifetime. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Every bit of progress requires proper guidance, and every improvement is worth celebrating. The progression of language development is divided into a silent period, an early language stage, a language-forming stage, and higher levels. In teaching, we take into account the characteristics of different periods to promote language learning in a scientific and rational manner, starting to develop students’ language skills from the pre-enrollment stage. This will be present at every moment and in all aspects of the student’s experience from entering Hui Li to graduating from it and leaving the school. Hangzhou Bilingual School – HuiLi School employs a scientific linguistic* approach to provide students with a personalized learning* experience through carefully designed curricula. Huilix School students are not only able to speak Chinese and English fluently, but also master the bilingual vocabulary and cultural background knowledge relevant to their specialized fields, enabling them to adapt flexibly in the global environment as Chinese citizens and meet the demands of the times. Inheriting Chinese culture: One of the major advantages of Hui Li School in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, is our close partnership with British schools. This enables us to fully inherit the values and characteristics of Hui Li School and integrate them into every aspect of the teaching environment. We adopt a unique educational model to carefully plan the learning and development journey, committed to delivering high-quality holistic education. Like our other sister schools, we offer a boarding school program focused on the happy growth of students. At the same time, if we compare our learning experience to a brocade, then Chinese culture is the silk threads that make up it. The students trained at Hui Li School are able to deeply understand and appreciate China’s long-standing and profound historical culture, identify with Chinese history and traditions, establish a sense of Chinese identity, and understand China’s social etiquettes and norms of behavior. Huilixue students will use the heritage of Chinese culture as a prism to learn about and understand the cultures of other peoples, thereby developing the diverse intelligences necessary in an international setting. We always shape campus life from a Chinese perspective.
