The Paper: Fengxian Shiwai has attracted attention as the 12th school directly under the Department of Foreign Studies. As a new school, what are the innovations in its core educational philosophy?

Xu Yan:Fengxian World Foreign Language is the first practice school of the "Integrated Curriculum Version 0.0" of World Foreign Language. On the basis of the Qingpu World Foreign Language Integration Curriculum, we place more emphasis on "whole-person education" and "future literacy". Key features of the school include:

Small-class teaching: about 25 students in each class in primary schools and about 0 students in junior high schools, and a dual-class teacher system with Chinese and foreign teachers is implemented.

Great curriculum concept: break the barriers inside and outside the classroom, incorporate after-school clubs, clubs, and winter and summer vacation practices into the curriculum system, and pay attention to the connection between disciplines and life.

Full boarding system: junior high school students cultivate their independent ability through independent living courses and home-school co-education mechanism, laying the foundation for further education at home and abroad.

The Paper: How does version 0.0 of the bilingual curriculum balance internationalization and localization?

Ge Xianghong:The curriculum is designed based on the national curriculum standards and integrates inquiry-based learning. Implement local education goals through cultural inheritance modules (e.g., classical studies) and interdisciplinary practice frameworks (e.g., mathematics and science inquiry); The IB concept is a series of courses through concept-driven (e.g., systems thinking, relationship analysis), and collaborative inquiry projects led by foreign teachers to strengthen language skills and global competencies. The curriculum design not only follows the requirements of the curriculum standards for cultural identity and practical ability, but also promotes the two-way empowerment of cross-cultural understanding with the IB concept. The team has verified that this model performs well in the Green Indicator Assessment.

The Paper: How do schools implement labor education?

Ge Xianghong:Labor education is an important practice to implement "whole-person education", and we reconstruct the curriculum system with "concept-driven + service action": in the primary school stage, the "life skills module" (organizing school bags→ is extended to the personal belongings management system, and the IB concept of "self-management" is integrated), the "wetland guardian" project is set up in the junior high school (students participate in the planting of native plants, water quality monitoring and ecological restoration schemes, echoing the IB theme of "sharing the earth"), and the whole school implements the position of "campus ecological maintainer". Let labor education not only take root in real scenes, but also cultivate a sense of responsibility.

The Paper: Parents are most concerned about the connection between higher education, what is the guarantee for Fengxian in the world?

Xu Yan:The school provides a "consistent system" admission channel: more than 85% of primary school graduates can go directly to the junior high school of the school;

The junior high school is seamlessly connected with the foreign language high school (Qingpu, Jinshan, Baoshan and other campuses), and students can choose IB, A-Level and other courses independently; Even if there are relevant policy adjustments in the future, the resource pool of junior and senior high schools in the Department of Foreign Languages is enough to support the development of students.

The Paper: In the face of the disparity in the source of students brought about by the computer-based allocation policy (commonly known as the "lottery"), how can schools ensure the quality of teaching?

Xu Yan:The teaching and research background of the Department of Foreign Languages is the key, and the teachers of Fengxian and Qingpu Campus communicate with each other, prepare lessons collectively, and implement the "Four Sames Principle" - the same goal, the same teaching and research, the same management, and the same evaluation; Private parents have a high degree of academic support, and small-class teaching can quickly respond to the individual needs of students.

The Paper: What advice do you have for parents to choose Fengxian Shiwai?

Ge Xianghong:It is suitable for families who identify with "holistic education", and children need to adapt to inquiry-based learning, love of nature and sports; Parents are willing to cooperate with home-school co-education. It's a place to develop lifelong learners.
