Last week, QISS had the pleasure of hosting the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation team, one of the six major educational groups acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Education. WASC is a non-profit and non-governmental accrediting organization, and achieving their accreditation is considered equivalent to receiving an "Oscar in Education." The application requirements for WASC accreditation are complex, and the accreditation and reaccreditation procedures involve a thorough and in-depth evaluation of the school. Elements of the reaccreditation process include the submission of a self-study report about our organization, as well as an evaluation of our school, curriculum, funding allocation, staffing, and resources. Guided by the WASC accreditation requirements for overall school improvement, the school has continuously made progress in aligning all that our organization does with QISS school values, mission, and vision.

上周，QISS迎来了新一阶段WASC(Western Association of Schools and Colleges) 认证的权威团队。 WASC 即美国西部院校协会，作为受美国教育部认可的非盈利和非政府组织的六大教育联盟之一，被称为“教育界奥斯卡”。WASC认证的申请门槛和难度较高，从申请条件来看，WASC对申请学校做出了包括规划、组织、课程、评价、资金、人员等全方位要求。在WASC对学校整体改进的指导下，学校取得了持续性的发展，我们所做的一切与QISS的价值观、使命和愿景相一致。

지난주 QISS는 WASC(Western Association of Schools and Colleges) 인증팀을 맞이했습니다. WASC 즉 미국 서부대학협회이고 미국 교육부가 인정하는 비영리 및 비정부기구의 6대 교육 연합 중 하나로 '교육계의 오스카'로 알려져 있습니다. WASC 인증은 신청 문턱과 난도가 비교적 높습니다. WASC는 신청 학교에 대한 계획, 조직, 과정, 평가, 자금 및 인력을 포함한 포괄적인 요구를 제시했습니다. 학교 전반적인 개선에 대한 WASC의 지도에 따라 학교는 지속적인 발전을 이루었으며 저희가 하는 모든 것은 QISS의 가치, 사명 및 비전과 일치합니다.

Following a week-long reaccreditation process, the WASC team shared their impressions of our school. They had so many positive things to say about our organisation, staff and students. They also expressed their enthusiasm about the time they spent with us. It's safe to say that the QISS Sharks are doing an exceptional job of exemplifying our school values, preparing themselves to be life ready leaders and leading with a mindful heart.

经过此次为期一周对学校全方位深入的检查和评估后，WASC认证小组介绍了他们对QISS产生的印象。可以说，QISS "鲨鱼们 "做得非常好，展示了我校的价值观—成为生活的领导者，用心以爱领导自己。

일주일 동안 학교에 대한 전방위적이고 심층적인 검사 및 평가 후 WASC 인증 팀은 QISS에 대한 인상을 소개했습니다. QISS '상어들'은 잘합니다! 저희 학교의 가치관—삶의 지도자가 되어 자신을 따뜻한 마음으로 이끄는 것을 보여주었습니다.

In other exciting news, we are thrilled to announce that during the holiday break, all of our lower school classrooms were equipped with brand new Smart Boards! These state-of-the-art boards feature their own computer system, cameras, screen casting, and interactive components. This new addition to our technology is sure to enhance our teachers' and students' learning and development by providing them with innovative and advanced tools to facilitate their educational experience.

此外，我们很高兴地宣布，在假期中，所有教室都配备了新的智能黑板! 这些智能黑板配备了自己的计算机系统、摄像头、投屏等功能，是对我们技术的一个补充，将支持教师和学生的学习与发展。

또한, 방학 동안 모든 교실에 새로운 스마트 칠판이 설치되었음을 알려드리게 되어 기쁩니다! 이러한 스마트 칠판에는 자체 컴퓨터 시스템, 카메라, 스크린 투사 등 기능이 장착되어 있으며 저희 기술을 보완하고 교사와 학생의 학습 및 개발을 지원할 것입니다.
