In an instant, the five-day and four-night Meilun International Summer Camp came to an end. It was not long, but the colorful activities covered cultural classes, art classes, science and technology classes, sports classes, etc., so that every student who participated in the activities was full of harvest and full of expectations for international high school study. In addition, what is even more gratifying is that from the activities of the past few days and witnessing the growth of students, we seem to be able to see the beautiful appearance of future schools and future education.
At present, what we are in and facing is an era of AI: the era of information technology in which artificial intelligence, the Internet of Everything and big data are prosperous, and the new era has new requirements for education. Today's students are basically the indigenous people of the digital age, and we must grasp their cognitive laws and style characteristics, and boldly explore the transformation of education methods: take learners as the center and build a personalized, fair and quality education system suitable for them. What Meilun International Summer Camp shows is exactly the future-oriented education goal of Meilun people: to cultivate international high school students with a positive "three views" and four good "qualities".
Chinese philosophical thought has always been "virtue first". That is to say, teaching and educating people, the cultivation of ideology and morality should be put in the first place. Learning to be a person, having good ideological character and correct "three views" can a person's life path be stable and far-reaching. The most important thing in ideology and values is to love the motherland, the nation, and the family, especially in the changing international community in the post-epidemic era, so that we can deeply appreciate the importance of the motherland to us. Meilun International Summer Camp pays special attention to the guidance of students' ideological values, from playing and singing the national anthem at the opening ceremony to visiting the patriotic education base - Whampoa Military Academy to receive edification on the spot, always paying attention to cultivating and strengthening the students' feelings of home and country.
Academic literacy is fundamental to student development. The cultivation of academic literacy and the improvement of subject performance are not only an important basis for students to advance to higher education, but also the most important professional knowledge for students to enter the society and develop their careers in the future. Therefore, no matter how the society changes in the future, the academic literacy of students should not be abandoned. Meilun International Summer Camp specially invited the "Oxbridge Student Tutors" who were originally on vacation, and provided students with English, mathematics, chemistry and other subject classes, so that students could deeply experience the charm of the original international high school classroom.
Artistic literacy is more reflective of respect for individual needs. With the increase of social wealth and the enrichment of material life, people pay more and more attention to personalized demands, and future education must pay more attention to personalized development. Art education is a good way to express oneself and develop individualized creative ability. Meilun International Summer Camp provides students with "Catching Horses" drama class, music class, movie appreciation, and brain-burning script killing and other cultural and artistic entertainment activities, so that the students' personality display and social interaction can be perfectly combined.
Technological literacy is the key to a successful future. As we have said, the competition between countries in today's world is, to a large extent, the competition of comprehensive national strength based on the economy and core science and technology. As a new force and future successor of the country, contemporary middle school students have the responsibility and obligation to develop scientific and technological literacy. Meilun International Summer Camp allows students to experience scientific and technological creative activities such as drones, robots and woodworking construction in the tall "Sixth Space" maker studio, so that students' imagination, creativity and hands-on problem-solving ability can be exercised.
Athletic literacy is the foundation of human survival. Without a healthy body, there is no mature and active mind, no ability to chase dreams and create a better life. Therefore, we say that education should "civilize its thoughts, barbarize its body", especially in the information age, students' "screen time" has increased sharply, and the improvement of sports literacy is more urgent. In Meilun International Summer Camp, students can not only swim in the indoor heated swimming pool, curl in the indoor gymnasium, but also experience "gentleman's sports" - golfing on the golf course. The diverse and high-quality sports activities allow the students' sports literacy to develop perfectly.
With the end of the summer camp closing ceremony, this perfect international high school experience camp will come to an end. In the past few days, the students not only learned well and played well, but also achieved both learning and entertainment, so that their comprehensive literacy has been well developed, and at the same time, they have also shown good behavioral qualities in the process of participation, such as team awareness, rule awareness, and competition awareness; Strict self-discipline, active participation, friendly and mutual assistance; Be strong-willed, adapt to the environment, overcome difficulties such as weather changes. The excellent performance of the students allows us to see the vision of the future school and the beautiful appearance of future education - it is precisely such high-quality talents with correct ideological values and good academic literacy, artistic literacy, scientific and technological literacy and sports literacy.
