预期与期待的力量
”
美国上个世纪进行过一次非常有趣的教学试验。当时，几位教育研究者到一所公立学校给全校学员发放了诊断性测试，并告知学校说其中有一个班级的“天才”数量远超于其他班级，因此应重点培养。果不其然，三年后当研究者重新回到学校跟进结果的时候，发现该“天才班”学员的成绩要远超于其他“普通”班级，并有很多学员最终圆梦顶尖名校。但研究者后来才公布，其实当年“发现”的天才班数据是他们编造出的。实际上，当初这个“天才班”和其他班级并无任何明显的学术水平差异。
此研究主要证明的结果是预期和期待的力量。当老师、学校、家长都开始相信自己的孩子是天才，相信他们能够进入世界名校的时候，孩子自己慢慢也会相信，并逐步的达到外界对自己的预期，并最终真的圆梦名校。
很多时候，我们的孩子并不是没有潜力进入名校，只是我们没有开发出这些潜力。清澜山标化考试中心成立的初衷之一，就是以最高的标准要求我们的每位学子，给与他们信任和支持，激活他们的全部潜能，让孩子最终确信，自己一定可以凭借自己的力量，进入梦想学府。
当然，仅凭信念是不足以圆梦的。国外学府在考察申请人时会考虑以下几项因素：GPA，标化考试成绩，文书写作，课外活动。标化考试学院会最大化的帮助孩子提升前三项因素。
In the twentieth century, the US conducted a very interesting education experiment. Several researchers released and analyzed the result of a diagnostic test to all students in a public school, then told the school that one of their classes contains an unusual high number of “gifted” students, and therefore the school should pay extra attention. Not surprisingly, students who were in the identified class achieved much better learning outcome than those who are in regular classes, and many of which successfully entered their dream schools.
But it was not until the end of the experiment did the researchers publish that there were no gifted students at all. All the data were fabricated to intentionally leave faculty and parents with the impression that their kids were gifted.
The result of this experiment shows the power of expectation. When faculty, parents and the school truly believe that a student is gifted and that she has the potential to enter world-class universities, they usually start to believe in themselves too, meet expectations and eventually do end up in their dream schools. More often than not, our kids don’t lack the potential to enter the best universities. The problem is that potential is often buried deep, and we have to find and develop it.
One of the goals of TSSA is to establish high standards for every student, to provide trust and support, to activate all their potential, and finally to make sure that each student believes that they can enter their dream school by their own efforts.
Of course, faith alone does not fulfill our dreams. When assessing competency of applicants, the admission officers of universities often considers the following factors: GPA, Standardized tests scores, personal statement and writing samples, and extracurricular activities. We help students maximize the first three factors.

学院教学模式
”
TSSA采用中西合璧的教学模式。
在为6-9年级的学员备考时，将采取西方近几年在脑神经学和认知科学的最新研究成果以保证学习的长期迁移，如Grant Wiggins的Understanding by Design (UBD), Peter C. Brown的retrieval practice, spaced practice and interleaving. 做到不断通过诊断性小测试，精准定位学员的薄弱能力点，再有针对性的逐个解决问题，牢固且逐步的帮学员提升其各项听、说、读、写、批判性思维、以及团队合作能力及领导力。
在帮助9-11年级学员在考试冲刺刷分阶段，将采取新东方式的短期高强度的密集授课以及配合题海战术，快速有效的帮学员习得考试技巧，以实现短期快速提分，速战速决，为学员的升学申请留存宝贵的时间。
TSSA的教学模式包括但不限于：中式传统讲授、苏格拉底式教学法、英文原著阅读、探究式学习、项目制学习、辩论及演讲。
TSSA blends the best of Chinese and Western educational philosophies and practices.
When preparing students from Grade 6 to Grarde 9, we implement the latest findings from Western neuroscience and cognitive research. For example, Understanding by Design (UBD) by Grant Wiggins and retrieval practice, spaced practice and interleaving are all incorporated into our curriculum to ensure long-term transfer of knowledge and skills.
Using well-designed and diagnostic quizzes, we quickly identify the specific weak areas where students need guidance and further practice. In this way, we lay a solid foundation for each individual core skill: reading, listening, speaking, writing, critical thinking, teamwork and leadership.
When preparing students from Grade 9 to Grade 11, our goal is to get the best score in the shortest time frame. We use short-term, high intensity programs to quickly build a systematic framework of skills and techniques to help students better deal with the tests, which saves students precious time to focus on other aspect of demanding college application.
Our pedagogies include but are not limited to: well-designed lectures, socratic seminar, English fiction & non-fiction book clubs, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, debate and group presentations.

升学文书写作指导
”
申请国外本科大学时，学员除了需获得标化考试高分外，还需写出漂亮的文书，其中包括个人陈述（Personal Statement, or Statement of Purpose）, 写作样本展示（Writing Sample），以及各类申请简述题。
文书在申请时，是除了冰冷冷的考试分数外，能够帮助面试官形成一个鲜活、立体、积极向上的学员的重要考虑因素。因此，学员的文书写作技巧将对申请结果起到非常重要的作用。TSSA对于文书写作的培训，将一步一步帮助学员确定自己的写作风格、习惯，并不断提升能力、技巧和深度。如何以清晰简洁的语言，精巧独特的谋篇布局，引人入胜的故事角度与叙述方式，在数以万计的文书中，快速抓住面试官注意力；如何娓娓道来自己的人生历程和心境变化；如何突出主线，不喧宾夺主；如何最后结尾升华，画龙点睛……这些都将是学生们将在我们的文书写作课程中获得的内容。
When applying to universities, in addition to high test scores, it is imperative that students have excellent writing skills which allows them to compose high-quality Statement of Purpose (SOP), writing samples and responses to application questions.
Unlike impersonal test scores, these writings are the keys that helps admission officers to see and build a vivid, positive and vivacious image about applicants. Therefore, writing skills and techniques are equally important to the result of college application.
TSSA will teach students how to write the best SOP and writing sample, by gradually mastering the core writings skills and techniques, and by aiding each student to find and form a distinct style of writing.
Students will learn how to communicate ideas precisely and concisely, how to lay out the best overall structure, how to describe the changes of one’s understanding about the world and about oneself, how to grab the attention of admission officers from tens of thousands of applications by using skillful storytelling and appeals to emotions, how to highlight the main thread, and finally, how to write the perfect conclusion.

TSSA creates a digital profile for each student to keep track of the mastery of all the necessary skills which are essential to success. We provide periodic analysis and feedback to both students and parents, pointing students to the specific areas where they need more practice. Furthermore, we layout long-term plans to guide students and parents through the complex journey of college application.
