日后，学校将持续获得来自Cognia在学术与课程、教师发展、学校运营等方面的支持，帮助达罗捷派持续改进，追求卓越，在保持自身办学特色的前提下，不断精进，为JPEDer提供更多更好的国际化学习平台。
达罗捷派学校在认证过程中给Cognia认证官留下了深刻的印象，称JPED为一所独特的学校，CCSS课程体系结合PBL项目式学习这种办学特色非常鲜明，因材施教的培养方式具备未来教育应具备的个性化发展培养要求。
达罗捷派采用Common Core State Standards(CCSS)美国教育规划共同核心标准课程体系，是美国K-12（学前班到高中毕业的12年级）的统一教学标准，是美国国家课程标准。目前美国 46 州，占全国 80%的学龄儿童，都实施该课程标准。
美国高考SAT考试是根据CCSS课程标准来进行设计的。
达罗捷派根据CCSS课程体系开设STEM课程、人文课程、艺术课程、中文课程和体育课程等几个类别的核心课程，为学生的通识课程学习打下夯实的基础，培养学生终身学习的概念和能力。
达罗捷派是“国内全案自主研跨学科学习PBL并贯彻落实的第一校”，PBL项目100%全案落地。
学生在校期间每年将参与8-10个不同主题、涉及不同学科的PBL项目，将所学的学术知识融合其中，真正做到学有所用，学以致用。
通过PBL项目式学习，学生们不仅能够解决真实生活中复杂的、非常规的且极具挑战性的问题，培养学生的沟通能力、批判创新等高阶能力。项目式教学看起来复杂、繁琐，其实不然。把课堂的主导权还给学生，把知识点运用到现实生活中，当出题人变为学生自己，相信他们，会给自己一个满意的答卷。在此过程中，老师不再是出题人，更不是标准答案，而是一个协助者、启发者、引导者。而这些学生将会通过PBL的学习，逐渐养成批判式思维与视角。
达罗捷派注重学生个性化发展，制定其专属学习计划，并配备一对一指导导师， 致力于发掘每个学生自身特质与特长，培养其综合性能力，包括动手实践能力、团队协作能力、公共演讲能力、 创新批判思维等，为未来世界培养创新、创业领袖。

达罗捷派支持学生在多领域进行实践探索，不断培养自己的领导力、语言表达能力、激励学生去感知问题，对一个领域产生好奇，并通过不断实践去寻找方向。
达罗捷派鼓励学生在创新创业领域进行探索，并对其进行全力支持。目前我校学生创立的环保创业公司研发的智能全地形新能源摩托车Gowow猎户座ORI，亮相第二十届中国国际摩托车博览会CIMA Motor 2022。
达罗捷派学院创办于2016年，采用CCSS美国高中课程结合PBL项目式学习的创新教学模式，已经获得美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰、瑞典等多国高等教育系统认可，收获多项国际级和世界级学术竞赛奖项，录取成果亮眼，办学成果显著。
截至目前，达罗捷派有2届毕业生，共31人，共获得210枚海外名校offer，70%学生获得高额奖学金共计1105.21万元人民币。
达罗捷派全体师生及家长在此次认证准备及审核过程中，将最真实的状态展示出来，热情赤诚的态度感染着认证团队。
达罗捷派学子通过逻辑清晰思路明确的表达，在回答认证团队提问的同时，也在展示着JPEDer的风采。他们自信、热情、阳光、具有批判性思维，对于事物敢于发声，对于未来满怀期待。
对于达罗捷派而言，获得“Cognia”认证不是一个结束，而是一个新的起点。获得Cognia认证不仅证明JPED过去的办学理念及教学方式已经达到全球教育的前沿标准，更是将达罗捷派推向更为广阔的国际舞台进行展示。
未来，达罗捷派将一如既往秉承初心，不断革新、不断超越，为达罗捷派的学子提供更多优质海外教育资源。
希望我们的Gen Z（Z世代青年）永远追求真理、永远奔赴卓越、永远敢于奉献、永远热泪盈眶。
