为什么选择NAIS Pudong？

Why NAIS Pudong?

我出生在美国，由于爸爸任职的公司在全球都有影响力，以至于我能够在许多国家居住，包括俄罗斯、中国、韩国、美国。因为我经常更换不同的国家生活，选择一个合适的国际高中对我来说是非常重要。我想要找到一个国际化和拥有全球视角的学校。

在NAIS Pudong，我真正体会到的一点是，它非常重视IB项目，这个项目培养了学生的开放思想、勇于冒险和全球公民的精神。而且，很多来自各种不同国家的学生给了我一种国际多样性的感觉。这也是我最终选择来到NAIS Pudong的原因。

当时我正好刚进入10年级，正是中学时期的中段，所以我非常想要找到一所能帮助我过渡中学时期的学校。NAIS Pudong最吸引我的是他们很快就接受了我的背景和发掘我的潜力，愿意和我一起学习，帮助我成长。

I was born in the US but growing up my dad worked for a company that had a really global reach, so I was able to live in many countries, including Russia, China, Korea, and the U.S. Because I lived internationally, when it came to picking a high school something that was really important to me was finding a school that had a really strong international and global focus.

Some internationally focused qualities that really sprung out to me at NAIS Pudong was that it was really focused on the IB program which puts forth the models of being open-minded, risk-taking and a global citizen. Furthermore, there were people from many backgrounds that really gave me that international feel. This is one part of why I ended up going with NAIS Pudong.

I was also going to be starting in the 10th grade, halfway through secondary school, so I really wanted a school that could help me with my transition and my further education. What appealed to me about NAIS Pudong was how they were immediately accepting of my background and my abilities and willing to work with me and help me grow.

社区意识

A Sense of Community

我在NAIS Pudong学习生活期间，我得到的最大的收获之一是通过社区来看到这个世界。你必须确保你和每个人都有互动，这样你的生活就会更丰富多彩。

尽管NAIS Pudong推行了这种全球化的理念并在教学大纲的各个部分都加入了国际化的思想，但它仍然是一个非常紧密的社区。我把它看得更像一个家庭而不是学校。

我在NAIS Pudong的三年里，那里的老师非常优秀。他们非常重视学校群体和教育，也很重视学生。他们非常欢迎我，而且他们来自不同的背景，所以我几乎可以和所有人交流。学生们就像一个家庭一样。

NAIS Pudong的学生从幼儿园到12年级，所有来自不同年龄的学生都互相支持。我觉得我可以和任何人交谈，我可以得到我需要的帮助。如果我找不到教室，他们会给我指路或帮我找到老师。

During my time at NAIS Pudong I'd say one of the biggest takeaways that I still carry with me is seeing the globe is the community. You really have got to make sure that you interact with everyone and if you do so, your life is just that much better.

And even though NAIS Pudong pushed this global idea and incorporated international mindedness in all parts of the syllabus, it was an incredibly tight knit community. And I looked at it more like a family than a school.

In my three years at NAIS Pudong the teachers were really amazing to me. They really valued both the social and the educational aspects in schooling, as well as the students. They were really welcoming of me and they came from all different backgrounds, so I could relate to almost everyone.

The student body was really like a family. NAIS Pudong had students from Kindergarten through to grade 12 and all the students from different years really supported each other. I felt as though I could talk to anyone, and I'd get the help I needed. Or if I couldn't find the classroom, they'd point me to the right way or help me find the right teacher. It was really encouraging.

建立信心

Building Confidence

我的信心来自于NAIS Pudong强大的社区。我可以自如的表达我的观点，并成为我想成为的人与我的班级同学和我周围的老师。

老师们非常强调学生们的个人自信和有自己的意见。我依然记得我的第一天上学，当我在课堂上发言时，我受到了鼓励。我的老师很欣慰我愿意并能够提出自己的观点，并与全班同学分享。

Something that stemmed from the strong community that we had at NAIS Pudong was my confidence. I felt as though I could speak my opinions and be exactly who I wanted to be with the people in my class and the teachers around me.

The teachers really stressed being confident and having your own individual voice. I remember even on my first day, when I spoke out in class, I was encouraged. My teacher appreciated that I was willing and able to have my opinion and share it with the rest of the class.

学习IB课程

Studying the IB

这所学校非常严格，尤其是在我学习IB课程期间。所有的学生都非常关注IB提供的所有材料和学习项目，老师们确保每个人都能跟上进度，并一直帮助我们确保我们能通过IB考试。

IB课程帮助我在高中毕业后能继续成功地接受大学教育。课程非常严格，不同的课程帮助我培养了良好的学习精神。IB课程也为我上大学做了准备。第一年，我没有像其他同学那样感到那么大的压力，因为我已经学会了如何处理大量学习工作和不同类型的课程。

我认为IB课程真的对我产生了影响，并将在我的一生中继续影响我。它不仅仅是关于学术和学习你必须学习的科目，它也在强调参与不同的活动，服务和体育，并帮助我们建立其他技能，比如通过学习认识论和书写专题论文。

我认为我在NAIS Pudong的时光对我现在的大学生活很有帮助。有些事情确实是我在密歇根大学成功的关键。尤其是我的商务课，这是我决定辅修专业的一个关键因素。

The school was definitely rigorous especially during my time in the IB program. All the students really had a strong focus on all the pillars that the IB offered and teachers ensured that everyone was kept on track and were always there to help to make sure we got our diplomas.

The IB program helped me towards my success in education after high school. It was rigorous and the different classes helped prepare me in building my work ethic. The IB programme also prepared me for college. Going into my first year I didn't feel as much of the pressure as some of my peers did because I had already learned how to deal with workload and different type of classes.

I think the IB program really impacted me and will continue to impact me throughout my life. It wasn't just about academics and doing the subjects you have to, it also really emphasised different activities, services and sports, as well as helping us build other skills such as through the Theory of Knowledge and the extended essay.

I think that my time at NAIS has really helped me in my time at college now. Some things have really been key to my success in the University of Michigan. especially my business class which really was a key factor in deciding one of my minors.

课堂之外

Beyond the Classroom

NAIS Pudong不仅仅是一所专注于学术的学校。它真的提供了很多机会，让我们走进社区里，与人们互动。我去了内蒙古、成都和坦桑尼亚，这些经历我将永远铭记。我也是我们学校模拟联合国的副秘书长。我甚至参观了联合国儿童基金会和纽约的联合国总部。

这些经历真的帮助我成为了一个领导者，一个敢于冒险的人，一个思想开放的人。

NAIS Pudong wasn't only a school that focused on academics. It really provided a lot of opportunities to get out into the community and interact with people. I was able to visit Inner Mongolia, Chengdu, and Tanzania - experiences that I will remember forever. I was also the Co-Secretary General of the Model UN at our school. I was even able to go visit UNICEF and the real United Nations headquarters in New York.

These experiences really helped me become more of a leader, a risk-taker, and open-minded thinker.

展望未来

Looking to the Future

在这一点上，我看到了我在密歇根大学完成学业后可以发展的路线。我正在考虑本科毕业后去法学院，或者攻读另一个商科学位，我也在考虑攻读博士学位，攻读精神病学或心理学，因为这是我的专业。 

At this point in time, I see a couple of avenues that I can take after my education is finished at the University of Michigan. I'm considering going to law school after my undergraduate, or maybe doing another business degree, and I’m also considering following a PHD and going into psychiatry or psychology as that's my major.

花点时间反思

Taking a Moment to Reflect

如果要总结我在NAIS Pudong的经历，那就是我结交了人生中最重要的朋友，从老师和不同背景的学生那里学到了一些最重要的东西。我变得更自信了。

我觉得来到NAIS Pudong的决定是我一生中最重要的决定之一。我遇到了一些会成为我余生的朋友。通过那里的课程，我也更了解自己，我相信这将是我未来成功的关键。我的父母是我最大的榜样之一，我一直想达到他们的期望，并超越他们。

我相信在NAIS Pudong的学习是我实现这个目标的关键。我在NAIS Pudong的时光带给我的最有价值的东西是，自信是我能够跳出自己的舒适圈、走出去的关键。

另一件对我来说很重要的是要做一个开放的倾听者，接受别人的观点，这样我才能更好地成为一个世界公民。

对于那些考虑加入NAIS Pudong的家庭来说，我想说，这是一个你绝对想要成为其中一员的社区。

If I could summarise my experience at NAIS Pudong it would be that I made some of the most important friendships of my life, learned some of the most important things from teachers, and different students of different backgrounds. And I became a more confident version of myself.

I feel like my decision to attend NAIS Pudong has been one of the most important decisions of my life. I've met some people that I will hold friendships with for the rest of my life. And I have learned many things about myself through the curriculum there that I believe will be key to my success in the future.

My parents are one of my biggest role models and all my life I've always wanted to live up to their expectations and go beyond. And I believe that attending NAIS Pudong was key in me achieving that goal.

The most valuable thing that I took away from my time at NAIS Pudong was that confidence is key and that I should always be able to get out of my shell and be out there.

I learned a lot of things at NAIS, Pudong, but another thing that was really important to me was being open-minded listener and being accepting of other people's views so I can become better at being a global citizen.

For families considering joining NAIS Pudong I'd say it's a community you definitely want to be part of.
