抛开精致的“升学包装”,哈罗相信向内探索的力量!



The Future’s Bright, The Future’s Harrow

哈罗之光 普照未来 


When walking through the corridors of Harrow Shanghai, whether through primary or secondary, it becomes clear as to why the school is renowned for being a place of respect, academic excellence, polite British tradition, and strong family values. Pupils smile and tip their hats in a mark of respect to teachers and adults, and families sit in the school’s cosy main reception to relax comfortably, catching up with friends over coffee. All in all, Harrow Shanghai surpasses many preconceptions that people may have of how a world-leading, educational institution should look and feel.

当我们走进哈罗上海,走廊上来来往往的学生头戴哈罗帽,微笑着向路过的人们礼貌致敬。这样的场景传递给我们的是哈罗上海背后所积淀的英式传统、卓越学术与强烈的家庭价值观。在学校的接待处,家长们像在家一样,舒适地坐着,喝喝咖啡,与朋友相谈甚欢。作为一所名校,人们对哈罗上海也许有先入为主的印象,但现实也许更加超乎你的想象。

家长故事分享 



Putting the fact that it is backed by 450 years of excellence in education to one side, Harrow Shanghai continues to earn its esteemed reputation each and every day. First and foremost, through its excellent A Level curriculum, secondly, due to the school’s unique university-preparation programme run by Higher Education Counsellor, Felix Baden-Powell, and thirdly because of its ‘no-one gets left behind’ attitude towards teaching and coaching. All of these strengths were reaffirmed by current Harrow Shanghai parent of two, Victoria, whose eldest previously studied at Harrow Hong Kong.


承载着哈罗450年的卓越教育历史,哈罗上海自创立以来,就声名鹊起。优秀的A Level成绩,独一无二的大学预备项目(由高等教育顾问Felix Baden-Powell老师主导),不落下任何一位学生的教学态度,都让哈罗上海始终饱受赞誉。我们特地采访了家长Victoria,她最大的孩子曾就读于哈罗香港,另外两个孩子目前都就读于哈罗上海。

Victoria


When asked why she chose Harrow out of all other international schools she replied that it ticked all the boxes: name, reputation, perfect for all three of her children, and the fact that it is known for going above and beyond. 


当被问到为什么在众多国际学校中选择了哈罗时,她回答道:哈罗这两个字的分量及其声誉,就是答案。对于她的三个孩子而言,哈罗都是不二之选,而事实也正是如此。




When my eldest was applying to university, Harrow actually made the time to sit down and guide him on things like how to write a personal statement, and this is so important because children have got no idea. Children literally enter Sixth Form and then have to become an adult overnight.”


“当我的大儿子申请大学时,哈罗周到且专业地指导与大学申请相关的事宜,如怎样写好个人陈述。这对于孩子来说很重要,因为他们升上了毕业班,看似一夜之间成长为了大人,但其实仍然面临着很多困难与挑战。”





学生故事分享 - Mic,12年级


At a time when school options are varied, and curriculums are beginning to get increasingly more complicated, understanding which will work best for your child(ren) is crucial for their future success. For young teens like Mic, a Lower Sixth (Year 12) pupil at Harrow Shanghai, A Levels were an obvious, if not perfect, choice. 


面临着让人眼花缭乱的学科选择与越来越复杂的课程,明确什么才是孩子最好的选择,对于孩子未来的成功与发展至关重要。对于像Mic(目前就读于哈罗上海12年级)这样的孩子来说,A Level是一个绝佳的选择。

12年级学生 Mic



Mic first discovered he had a passion for music through his older brother who at the time had begun playing guitar. From there, Mic started furiously practising each day and quickly found inspiration through lots of other musical idols, further strengthening his love for the art form. Now here in Shanghai, Mic enjoys playing in a local jazz club, run by a well-known jazz singer often seen performing in ‘Heyday’ one of Shanghai’s most renowned jazz clubs. 


受哥哥弹吉他的影响,Mic内心音乐的种子开始萌芽。从那时候开始,Mic便开始每天疯狂练习,并不断地从别的音乐偶像上汲取灵感。一天天过去,他对音乐的热爱愈发强烈,他执着地追求自己的梦想。如今在上海,Mic也没有停下追逐音乐的脚步。他经常在知名爵士乐俱乐部——Heyday演出。

Aside from music, Mic chose A Level computer science, due to his interest in game development and his desire to incorporate this skill together with music to become accomplished in audio engineering. Coming from an Italian family, Mic thought Spanish would add to his foundation of languages and enable him to smoothly transition into a Spanish-speaking country in the future, if that is where his career in music leads him. 


除了音乐,Mic还选择了A Level的计算机科学。这门学科不仅与他感兴趣的游戏开发有关,其中所涉及的音频工程,更与他挚爱的音乐息息相关。此外,他还选择了西班牙语,这是为了将来能够更好地融入西班牙语语系的国家,更从容地追逐音乐梦想。


Despite the fact that there are many young people like Mic who have a strong understanding of where their passions lie, there are parents who may feel disconcerted by the idea of their children narrowing their field of studies and selecting the best subjects for the future. This, amongst many, was one of the reasons as to why Harrow Shanghai made the conscious decision to keep class sizes small, enabling more personalised, informative and supportive teaching.


现在,尽管有许多像Mic明确自己的目标与激情的孩子,但有些父母还是会为学习范围的缩小与科目选择感到焦虑。正因如此,哈罗上海始终保持小班化规模,以确保个性化、信息化、支持性的严谨教学。




学生故事分享 - Anakin,13年级



哈罗上海

13年级学生Anakin


For Upper Sixth (Year 13) pupil Anakin, having small class sizes was fundamental to improving his grades and helping him realise his dream. Anakin expressed that he felt many people are under the misconception that A Levels limit a person by making them focus on just three or four subjects and that this was fundamentally wrong. He then explained that instead of learning a little about many subjects, A Levels affords him the time he needs to put in quality study in depth without feeling stressed or overworked. 


对于13年级学生Anakin来说,小班化课程对于他成绩的提高与梦想的实现大有裨益。很多人认为A Level只让孩子选择3到4门学科来学习,限制了孩子的发展。在Anakin看来,其实不然。他解释道,A Level让他有足够的时间,游刃有余地进行深入的学习,而不是浅尝辄止。




校园风采



Having moved to Harrow, Anakin discovered that his passion really lies in helping children, thanks to his teachers taking the time to get to know and understand his personality and their professional guidance. Anakin finally chose to study physics, economics, and maths, as he explained they all require many of the same skills needed to complete a degree in child psychology which he hopes to study at university. When you take into consideration that psychology requires you to be able to analyse large quantities of data in graph and chart format as well as plan, create and carry out experiments, Anakin’s choices make real sense. Further affirming that he made the right A Level selections, Anakin happily announced that he has already received a conditional offer from his top choice university and is feeling excited about the future. 


转学到哈罗上海后,老师悉心的关怀让他更了解自己,也明白自己对于帮助儿童的热忱。在A Level课程体系中,Anakin选择了物理、经济学与数学。对于他而言,这几门学科与他将来想要学习的儿童心理学所需掌握的技能如出一辙。在心理学学习中,同样运用到大量的数据分析、图表处理、规划与实验。目前,Anakin已经收到了自己心仪大学的预录取Offer。



Perhaps the most remarkable characteristic of both Anakin and Mic, is how confident, happy, and content they both are even during one of the most ‘stressful’ years within a teenager’s life. By treating pupils as intelligent, capable, and responsible adults and providing them with a solid platform from which to leap, Harrow Shanghai transforms a pupil’s potential from good to exceptional; proving that being 1% better at a hundred things will always trump trying to be 100% better at only one thing.


采访中,最让人印象深刻的地方是Anakin与Mic在学习压力最大的这一年里所展现出的从容与自信、喜悦与满足。哈罗上海将这些学生们视为聪慧、有能力、负责任的成年人,并为他们提供坚定的后盾,不断发掘学生的潜力,助力他们成就卓越;从而一直传递着哈罗上海不追求在一件事上做到100分,而是努力在100件事情上都做到多1分的精神。
