Five years after its establishment, Meilun International UK has cultivated four graduates, not only in Oxford University, Cambridge University, Cornell University and other top universities in the United Kingdom and the United States, but also many famous universities in Hong Kong, Macao, Canada, Australia and other regions and countries in China. These achievements are the result of the joint efforts of every "Meilun person". Standing at a higher starting point five years after its establishment, we will create a more brilliant tomorrow with wisdom and sweat.
In the new academic year of 2022, Meilun International has absorbed "new blood": the strong joining of President Feng Xiaosheng, who has been deeply engaged in the field of international education for many years and has served in management positions in many international famous schools in Shanghai and Guangzhou, the arrival of Wang Xiaokun, Principal of the UK Division, and the entry of a number of senior Chinese and foreign teachers with rich resumes, making Meilun International more powerful.
Principal Wang Xiaokun studied in the UK for a year and has a first-hand experience of overseas education, he once attended high school in the UK, graduated from university with a master's degree, and taught in many international schools at home and abroad for many years, and has a deep understanding of A-level courses and international education.
"I very much agree with Feng's concept of 'whole-person education'." Wang Xiaokun said, "Academic performance is important, but it is not the only goal, we also pay attention to the process and experience of children in school. I also like Mr. Fei Xiaotong's proposal of 'the beauty of each other, the beauty of the beauty, the beauty of the United States, and the unity of the world'. I've been practicing this philosophy myself. He explained that in the era of international education, providing students with diverse choices, so that they can recognize the differences and changes in the world, and be able to embrace such differences and changes, is essential for children's future growth.
When it comes to the difference between overseas education and domestic education, he admits that his biggest experience is that studying abroad requires very strong autonomy and the ability to take responsibility. "When you leave the country to study, you have to be responsible for your every decision at all times, and consider the possibility or consequences of this decision, and have the courage to bear the result."

The excellent results achieved in the past are not only an honor, but also a spur and pressure. In the future, how can we go better? How will the UK Faculty continue to improve the level of education and teaching?
President Wang Xiaokun also brought his thoughts and answers, "On the one hand, we will continue to optimize the current curriculum system, and at the same time, we are also considering introducing AP and other diversified courses into our system to make students more competitive academically." Secondly, we will update the system of teacher professional development as a whole. Then there is the daily teaching management, the students' experience in school and the teaching feedback of the department will be transmitted to various departments in a timely manner, strengthening the collaboration of departments, thereby improving the quality and level of overall education and teaching. ”
For international high school students, the "uncertainty" of further education is an eternal topic. In addition to the support provided by the school, how should parents manage expectations and work with their children to achieve their goals?
Based on the summary of his nearly 20 years of experience, President Wang Xiaokun advocated tripartite communication. "Positive communication and positive confronting is an important solution." In addition, he also suggested that parents can encourage their children both spiritually and materially. "I think what is more important is the understanding of children, including respect for their choices. If the family has expectations for the child, it is also necessary for the child to understand the reason for the expectation. If you can achieve such a state, it is very beneficial to your child's preparation for further education. ”
Question: With 4 graduating students from the UK Division, what do you think is the reason for such good results?
Wang School: To achieve such results proves that our children are already very good. I think there are several reasons:
First of all, it has a lot to do with the curriculum teaching setting of Meilun. Meilun has a very mature curriculum system, and students can switch between BC and UK according to their own needs; In addition, the teaching team of each department is also very mature and stable.
Secondly, it is our Meilun educational philosophy, which provides students with very complete services in an all-round way. Whether it is teaching, further education or student management, the teachers are very attentive.
Finally, of course, the achievement of results is inseparable from the students' own growth in Meilun for 3-4 years. At Meilun, children confirm their goals or directions, and then move forward in this direction. The combination of the above aspects has achieved such good results.
Question: How will the level of education and teaching at Meilun UK continue to improve?
Wang School: From the perspective of education and teaching, Meilun's achievements in the past five years are very remarkable, and the feedback is positive from the perspective of student satisfaction and further education results. In the future, we will also strive to improve on the current achievements.
First of all, the curriculum will be further adjusted according to the needs of students, including this year we are also trying to introduce AP courses into our curriculum to improve students' learning competitiveness.
At the same time, in the concept of education and teaching, we update the entire system of teachers' professional development as a whole, and the feedback on students' experience in school, school teaching, etc. will be transmitted to various departments in a timely manner, so as to optimize and enhance the collaboration of departments.
At present, there is a very good framework, and with the joint efforts of everyone, from teaching management, regular training of students and further education to improve the guidance of further education, the entire service quality will be further improved.
Question: What do you think our students need to develop beyond their academic excellence?
Wang School: In addition to academic ability, I think Meilun's "Lun" is a very important entry point, that is, "reason" and "relationship".
