11月中旬，广州市斐特思学校受邀参加2023年“回响中国”腾讯新闻教育频道国际化学校发展论坛，荣获 2023年度综合实力标杆国际学校荣誉。

创校至今，学校凭借卓越的实力在粤港澳大湾区崭露头角。

In November, Fettes College Guangzhou was invited to participate in the 2023 "Echo China" Tencent News Education Channel International School Development Forum and won the benchmarking international school of 2023. Since its establishment, the school has consistently demonstrated exceptional capabilities, distinguishing itself within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

在当今数字化、全球化的世界中，教育形态正在发生深刻的变化。

随着家长对于孩子综合素养和国际视野的重视程度不断提高，以及各校办学质量不断提升，业界对国际学校的综合衡量标准愈加严苛。

一所“综合实力”突出的学校，不仅需要在软硬件上获得内外界的认可，更需要在教育路径上有其独特之处。广州斐特思创校以来，一直秉持深度“中西融合”的教育理念，如今逐渐展现出教育创变者的独特光芒。

In today's digitalized and globalized world, education is undergoing profound transformations. As parents increasingly prioritize their children's holistic literacy and international perspectives, and schools continuously enhance their quality, the industry demands a comprehensive evaluation of international schools. A school with outstanding "comprehensive strength" not only garners internal and external recognition in terms of infrastructure and educational programmes but also exhibits unique characteristics in its educational approach. Since its inception, Fettes College Guangzhou has espoused the educational concept of "integration of Chinese and Western" and now shines as an educational innovator.

广州斐特思根植于中国本土，在融贯中西的教育理念支持下，以双校长管理制、双师协作教学为教育实践根基，探索“中学为体、西学为用”的最佳融合点，培养具备中西文化素养的栋梁之材，让他们有能力在世界任何地方取得非凡成就。

Fettes College Guangzhou anchored in China, with the support of a blend of Chinese and Western educational concepts, and employing a two-Head of College management system and cooperative teaching by Chinese and Western teachers as the foundation of its educational practices, the school explores the optimal integration of "Chinese foundation with the  application of Western learning." By cultivating individuals with literacy in Chinese and Western cultures, the school empowers them to pursue and perpetuate their passions anywhere in the world.

真正意义的中西融合学校，不仅是“双语”学校，亦非单纯的融合课程教学，最重要的是实现“文化的融合”。这恰恰是国际教育容易出现“失衡”的关键所在。因为真正的融合，需要学校领航者不仅洞悉本土文化内涵、教育体制、了解中国家庭育人目标，亦要懂得国际教育的趋势、优势，未来国际化人才的培养要求等。仅具备西方经验的领航者或中国教育界的领袖人物，在引领国际学校发展的过程中很容易偏离正确的方向，难以真正实现“中西融合”。

In essence, a school that integrates Chinese and Western cultures goes beyond being merely a "bilingual" school or offering an integrated curriculum. The crucial aspect lies in achieving "cultural integration." This is precisely why international education often faces challenges of "imbalance." Genuine integration requires school leaders to comprehend not only the essence of local culture, the education system, and the goals of Chinese family education but also the trends and advantages of international education and the training requirements for future global talents. Leaders with solely Western experiences or leaders from China's education sector may easily deviate from the right direction when leading the development of international schools, hindering the true realization of "China-West integration."

为了解决这个“痛点”，广州斐特思采用独特的中外方总校长管理模式及双文化领导体系。

中方总校长郑雷女士深耕国际教育超28年，外方总校长盖朗宁先生在中国国际教育行业沉浸了超20年。两位总校长之间有着超20年的教育管理合作经历，他们深谙中西方教育的精髓和差异，在教育经验、理念、文化背景方面各有所长。他们为广州斐特思找到最适合中国学生的中西“融合点”——在创新课程体系、教导方法、教育理念、教师培训、学生关怀与家校互动等方面深度融合中西方教育与文化的精粹。以此“融合点”为中心，我校教育实现不断迭代、更新的正循环，确保中西方教育的精华有效融合，促进中外教师团队的高效协作。

Fettes College Guangzhou adopts a distinctive expat and Chinese Heads of College management model and a bicultural leadership system to address this challenge. The Chinese Head of College, Ms Julie Zheng, has over 28 years of international education experience. At the same time, Mr Gakes, the expat Head of the College, has immersed himself in China's global education industry for over 20 years. The two Heads of the College have cultivated over 20 years of collaboration experience, comprehending the essence and nuances of both Chinese and Western education. They bring their educational expertise, philosophies, and cultural backgrounds, identifying the most suitable "integration points" for Chinese students. It seamlessly integrates the core aspects of Chinese and Western education and culture across innovative curriculum systems, method of teaching, educational concepts, teacher training, student care, and home-school interaction. With this focus, the school's education undergoes a positive cycle of continuous iteration and renewal, ensuring the effective integration of Chinese and Western cultures in every aspect of its operations.

要将“融合点”贯彻落实，需要两者共同努力：着眼世界的中方老师、拥抱中国文化的外方教师。

在中外方总校长的引领下，广州斐特思汇聚全球教育人才。学校百余名教师中，超60%的老师具有两个国家以上的留学、教学经历，其中外方教师超70%具有在中国工作的经验。

To successfully implement the "integration point," it is essential to foster collaboration between Chinese teachers with a global perspective and expat teachers who appreciate Chinese culture. With the guidance of our expat and Chinese Heads of College, Fettes College Guangzhou has assembled a team of exceptional educators from around the world. Over 60% of our 100 teachers have studied abroad or taught in multiple countries, and more than 70% of our expat teachers have prior experience working in China.

在部分国际学校中，中外双班主任、中外双语教师协作模式为：西方教师为主，中方教师为辅，或中西方教师独立教学，课程浅层拼接。

广州斐特思“双师教学制度”是两位老师共同管理班级、实施课程。这有利于教师们彼此深度交流、互相指导，不断完善适合学生的教学内容。学生能够更高效、更深入接收课堂知识。开放互助型教师团队，亦有助于促进学生的跨文化交流意识，培养具有全球竞争力的综合型人才。

The cooperation models between Chinese and expat class teachers or Chinese and bilingual teachers vary in certain international schools. Some schools adopt a model where expat teachers lead, with Chinese teachers offering support. In contrast, others allow Chinese and expat teachers to teach independently with a spliced curriculum. At Fettes College Guangzhou, we have implemented a "double teacher teaching system" where two teachers collaborate in managing the class and developing the curriculum. This approach fosters deep communication and mutual guidance between teachers, continuously improving teaching content tailored to students' needs. As a result, students can efficiently and comprehensively absorb classroom knowledge. Moreover, our open and collaborative teacher teams promote students' awareness of cross-cultural communication and nurture well-rounded individuals with global competitiveness.

中外双师的深度交流与协作，不仅发生在课堂之上。

The deep communication and collaboration between Chinese and expat teachers extend beyond the confines of the classroom.

沿袭英式寄宿制传统的广州斐特思，有着完善的中外方舍监、人文关怀导师体系。

寄宿部导师与学科教师紧密联系，共享学生的生活、学习情况与心理状况：外方舍监给予学生原汁原味的英式寄宿体验、学业辅导老师随时反馈学生在寄宿部的学习进度、人文关怀导师即时与心理健康老师同步学生生活情况。

学生的生活成长交融于学部与寄宿部之间，他们充分体验不同文化的冲击与融合，培养通关未来人生的种种能力。

Fettes College Guangzhou has established a comprehensive system of Chinese and expat houseparents and pastoral care in line with the British boarding system tradition. Houseparents and subject teachers communicate closely, sharing insights into students' lives, academics, and emotional well-being.

Expat houseparents provide students with an authentic British boarding experience, while academic tutors offer continuous feedback on students' learning progress within the boarding department. Pastoral care ensures real-time coordination between students' living situations and counsellors.

The growth of students is seamlessly integrated between the academic department and the boarding department, allowing them to experience the influence and integration of diverse cultures fully. This approach fosters the development of various skills students can carry into their future lives.

这是一条光明正确而又充满挑战的道路，广州斐特思正在践行它的承诺。

This path is challenging but right, and Fettes College Guangzhou follows it diligently.
