Dear BKIK Friends and Family,

Throughout this semester, we have upheld the core principles of International Baccalaureate (IB) education, which is dedicated to cultivating well-rounded students. IB education emphasizes critical thinking, a global perspective, and interdisciplinary learning, all of which have been integral to our teaching practices.

From classroom discussions to extracurricular activities, we have consistently encouraged students to explore actively and innovate boldly, ensuring every child thrives in a multicultural environment.

亲爱的天启各社群成员们：

在这个学期里，我们秉持着国际文凭（IB）教育的核心理念，致力于培养全面发展的学生。IB教育强调批判性思维、全球视野和跨学科的学习方式，这些理念在我们的教学实践中得到了充分体现。

从课堂讨论到课外活动，我们始终鼓励学生们积极探索、勇于创新，让每一个孩子都能在多元文化的环境中茁壮成长。

On February 26th, we eagerly welcomed the long-awaited first day of school. The lion dance team presented a performance and blessings, celebrating BKIK’s students embarking once again on a new journey of learning.

在2月26日，我们迎来了期盼已久的开学日。舞狮队伍献上表演和祝福，庆祝天启学生们再次踏上新一轮的学习旅程。
