      The High School Team is advancing its teaching and research system with a “results-oriented” approach, driving the team from steady operation to systematic breakthroughs. By offering courses on academic reading, research writing, and presentation skills, the division strengthens the cultivation of top-performing students. Starting from Grade 10, research awareness and writing development are introduced early, bridging gaps across grade levels and enhancing talent development efficiency. This new semester, the High School Division is promoting a shift from "teaching-centered" to "learning-centered" education through four key initiatives: deepening learner-centered advanced classes, expanding cross-grade clubs and advisory sessions to strengthen teacher-student interaction, enhancing collaborative research between Chinese and foreign teachers, and implementing bilingual syllabi for greater transparency. Balancing academic rigor with humanistic care, these efforts aim to translate students' core competencies into academic success and empower the next generation of global leaders.
