As the Acting Head of Merchiston International School, I am thrilled to share that our school was honored with the Breakthrough Innovation Award at this year’s Pearson Edexcel China Annual Conference. This prestigious recognition reflects our remarkable growth, development, and the increasing influence we have established in the local market.
Attending the conference was an inspiring experience. The event brought together leading educators and institutions from across China to discuss the future of education and celebrate excellence in teaching and learning. Receiving this award was a proud moment for our school, showcasing the collective efforts of our staff, students, and community in achieving academic and holistic success.
This achievement is a testament to our innovative approach to education. By embracing the British curriculum and integrating it with local cultural values, we have created a unique learning environment that nurtures global citizens equipped with skills, knowledge, and character to thrive in an ever-changing world. Our focus on academic rigor, character development, and the implementation of modern teaching practices has been instrumental in driving our success.
In the past year, we have not only grown in student numbers but also strengthened our partnerships within the community, enhanced our extracurricular offerings, and embedded sustainable practices into our curriculum. This award is a recognition of the meaningful impact we are making, both within and beyond our school gates.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the entire Merchiston community—our dedicated teachers, hardworking students, and supportive parents—for making this possible. Together, we continue to build a school that inspires excellence and transforms lives.
As we celebrate this milestone, we look ahead to even greater achievements in the future. Thank you, Pearson Edexcel, for recognizing our efforts and encouraging us to continue pushing boundaries in education. Here’s to more innovation and success ahead!
