海嘉IB毕业生Avicii作品
在和平年代，自由思想之光辉，正照耀着这群青春、无限可能的孩子。他们内塑自我，以独立之精神，以自由之思想，寻找最适合自己的方向，走出一条与众不同之道路。
Best Fit 理念一脉相承
正如海嘉名誉校长顾明远老先生所说的“像细雨一样做事，润物无声”，海嘉的升学亦秉持这样谦卑的理念。
培养独立之思想
海嘉毕业生十大素养中有三条关于思想：思维开放、善于反思、善于思考。独立的思想是大学最愿意看到的，无论大事小事，能够看到一些不同于别人的意义和价值是非常难得的。尤其在专业方面，如果可以懂得去钻研，这是大学都青睐的品质。我们鼓励学生在每次参加活动或一些特别经历以后，当下进行总结，感受会更加深刻。这种批判性思维的长期锻炼，都是培养独立思想的基础。自然在申请学校的时候，就会展现出来。
打造不凡的经历
其实我们更愿意称之为平凡的经历，不凡不是意味着非要去什么非洲野外实习，为难民筹款之类惊天动地的大事。相反，只要在自己擅长和喜欢的领域做一些坚持不懈的事情，比如组织一些活动，长期的义工、帮助病童、甚至在学校周围捡垃圾促进环保这一类很平凡的事，“化平凡为不凡”，就能够真正从中发掘出可贵的收获，就能打动学校。这是海嘉从学生上高中以来，一直坚持的事情。
践行实事求是的精神
在长期的工作中，我们接触了很多大学的招生官，他们直言，有些申请Essay一看就是中介写的，或是根本不像学生的口吻，对于这些申请Essay他们会毫不犹豫地进垃圾桶。在海嘉，高年级学生申请Essay都是同学们自己写的，不会使用中介，也并没有提供特别的专项写作训练。“即使存在瑕疵也没有问题，因为这就是事实的客观存在，实事求是，与学生自身能力相匹配的学校，就是最适合、也是对学生最好的学校。
沉淀优秀的成绩
优秀的成绩绝不是一日簇成，它需要长年累月的积累。海嘉之所以能够取得不错的成绩，首先跟学生们语言的优势及学术成绩是分不开的，海嘉是PreK-K12一贯制双语学校，从海嘉成长起来的学生，到10-11年级时，不用专项训练，至多花一两周的时间去熟悉托福或雅思的题型，就可以在考试中取得非常好的成绩。
从九年级开始，海嘉就会为每个学生开通大学申请系统账号，从个人性格特点、热情所在、理想申请国家、理想学校性质、未来潜在职业方向等等方面与学生进行探讨和规划。之后，会向学生提供相关信息的获取资源和调研方法，鼓励学生们自己探讨出未来的理想申请计划。
抵达Dream School
相较于执着排名顶尖学校的录取率来“成就学校”，海嘉的目标更多的是“成就学生”。海嘉的学生选择真正自己的“梦想大学”，就如海嘉学校升学老师所说，要成就学生，成就他们的梦想。在今年的毕业生中，我们很多的学生都成功地申请到了他们“梦想的大学”。

更多海嘉学生录取情况，后续我们将持续报道：
In the new year of 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted everybody’s plans. The G12 students are faced with unprecedented challenges including the cancellation of IB examinations, the suspension of TOEFL and IELTS. Yet no difficulty could ever stop dream catchers. At the beginning of April，a milestone moment for university admissions, BIBA graduates are reaping a harvest.
BIBA students as a group (100%) have currently received over 80 offers from universities mainly from the United States and the United Kingdom, including Top World Ranked Universities, such as: Imperial College London, University of Toronto, Tufts University, New York University, Boston College, Boston University, University of Edinburgh, Kings’ College London, University of Warwick and Hong Kong University, to name just a few.
Among the offers:
28% of the students have been accepted into the Top 20 World Universities;
39% of the students have been accepted into the Top 30 World Universities;
56% of students have been accepted into the Top 50 World Universities;
100% of our students have been accepted into the “Best Fit universities”.
Moreover, many students have also received offers from their DREAM UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE. Due to the pandemic, a vast number of universities have extended their deadlines. Therefore, further offers are anticipated to occur soon.
BIBA students received offers from both famous comprehensive universities and private, research-oriented colleges in the USA, such as Tufts University, New York University,Boston College, University of California Santa Barbara, Boston University, Northeastern University, Penn State University and Ohio State University. One graduate has received $148K Scholarship from Willamette University and a total of approximately $218K (1480K RMB) in Scholarship funds from American universities.
Offers are also received from the Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Switzerland which ranks among the top three in the field of Hotel Management studies. One student received a full scholarship of HK$ 740k to attend The University of Hong Kong and The Education University of Hong Kong.
The diversity of applications and offers has also meant increasing recognition of the teaching quality at BIBA by institutions in various countries and regions.
From the aspect of UK university admission, students have received offers from Imperial College London, University of Manchester, University of Bristol, King’s college London, University of Warwick, Durham University and more. Apart from these offers, we are also pleased to see admissions from top universities in Canada, Switzerland, Hong Kong and other countries and regions. BIBA students have received offers from traditionally renowned Canadian universities including University of Toronto, The University of British Columbia (UBC), Queen’s University, Western University -University of Western Ontario and others.
Applications for study areas are becoming increasingly diversified. In addition to the advantage fields of economics, business, chemistry and mathematics, students have chosen to study human sciences and also shown commitment to education. Other students demonstrated interests in hotel management, media, film and illustration studies. In the very specific IB art applications, offers received cover almost all the top art schools in the USA including Parsons Art and Design School in NYC (Ranking World No.3), School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Ranking World No.9), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), FIT, School of Visual Arts(SVA) and California Institute of the Arts.
In an era of peace, the light of independent investigation shines on this group of youths, who model themselves with the spirit of independence and freedom to find the best fit for their own direction in a unique and innovative way.
As the honorary President of BIBA School, Mr. Gu MingYuan, advocated: “Show your deeds like a light rain, moisture things silently.” BIBA also upholds such a humble approach.
Cultivating an independent mind
Three of the ten Goals for Graduate Qualities are about thinking: Open thinking, reflective thinking and independent thinking. Independent thinking is the most important quality for university learning. Regardless whether this is on a big or small scale, it is valuable to see things from a different point of view, especially from a professional point of view. This is the quality that every university favors. BIBA encourages students to make a summary of each activity or experience. This kind of long-term practice of critical thinking is the foundation for cultivating independent thinking naturally shown in student applications for universities.
Enjoying an extraordinary experience
In fact, this should really be called an ‘ordinary experience’. Being extraordinary doesn't mean that we have to go to some field practice in Africa and raise money for refugees. Instead, just keep doing what you are good at such as organizing activities; volunteering for a long period; helping children who are in medical care or even picking trash up from around the school, promoting environmental protection and other very do-able, ordinary things. To turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, you can really find valuable meanings which will touch the universities. This is what BIBA students have been practicing during their High School study time.
Nurturing the spirit of seeking truth from facts
Over time, many university admission officials have become outspoken about some applications which were written by an intermediary, or that the applications don't sound like the student at all. These students’ applications go straight into the trash bin. BIBA senior students write essays and statements by themselves without using intermediaries. No specific writing training is provided by the school either. Even if there are flaws, this is not a problem because this is the reality of the student's capability, it is fact, the truth and the real ability too. By keeping to this reality, BIBA's students are matched with the most suitable schools, the best school for the students.
Accumulation of accomplished academic work
Rome was not built in a day. The outstanding grades that BIBA students have achieved are credited to the advantages of language. BIBA is a Pre-K to K12 bilingual school. Students growing up in the school and reaching G10 or G11 can achieve very good results in TOEFL and IELTS tests after getting familiar with the test formalities in one week or two without special training.
Starting from G9, the School will open an account in the university application system for each student and discuss and plan with the student considering aspects of personal characteristics, passion, ideal application country, ideal school nature, future potential, career direction and so on. Afterwards, the students will be provided with relevant information and research methods to encourage them to explore the ideal application plan in the future. BIBA students pay less attention to school rankings and rather more to find a suitable university through years of research and self-assessment.
Rather than focusing on high admission rates to the top ranking universities to make the School more appealing, BIBA focuses on sending students to their ideal places as high fliers.
