校长来信｜我们将以焕然一新的使命和愿景，迈入下一个十年

亲爱的家长和同学们：

2014年11月20日左右，深圳市博纳学校（SAIE）正式获得深圳市教育局的批准（成立）。这个源于宏伟愿景的学校，始终坚定地面对每一个挑战，如今已成长为一所蓬勃发展的学术机构。这段旅程并非一帆风顺，但SAIE历经风雨，稳步发展，不断壮大。

在过去四年里，SAIE取得了新的成就，进一步巩固了我们在学术卓越方面的声誉。尽管全球和国内经济环境依然充满挑战，但我们相信，这些“阴雨天”终将成为SAIE辉煌历史中微不足道的“插曲”。展望未来，我们将以焕然一新的使命和清晰的愿景，迈入下一个十年。

SAIE在2024年成功完成第二轮WASC认证

我们深知，由于美国高中毕业生数量迅速增长，进入美国顶尖大学的竞争变得愈发激烈。然而，这一趋势将在2024-2025学年达到顶峰，随后将逐渐放缓，这为SAIE创造一个前所未有的机会，助力我们在大学升学方面取得更卓越的成绩。在教师、学生和家庭坚定不移的支持下，我们相信SAIE将在下一个十年中发展成为一所全国领先的国际化学校。

随着今年的结束，这是一个反思集体成就、珍惜与亲人共度的美好时光，同时为未来蓄力的时刻。这一年，我们为所有同学的努力与成长感到骄傲；感谢博纳社区的家长们一直以来对学校的信任与支持。新十年，让我们继续携手，共建一所卓越的学校。

祝大家度过一个温馨、欢乐与平和的假期。愿你在新的一年健康、幸福，成就无限可能！

圣诞快乐，新年快乐！

深圳市博纳学校校长

Dear Parents and Students,

Around November 20, 2014, Shenzhen Academy of International Education (SAIE) was officially chartered by the Shenzhen Bureau of Education. What began as a bold vision has now transformed into a thriving academic institution, standing resilient through every challenge. The journey was not without struggles, but SAIE emerged strong, growing steadily over the years.

Over the past four years, SAIE has reached new heights, solidifying our reputation for academic excellence. While the global and local economic environment remains challenging, we are confident that these "rainy days" will one day become mere footnotes in the story of SAIE’s legacy. Looking ahead, our next decade is driven by renewed purpose and a clear vision. We are embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) not just as a tool but as a transformative force to empower every student. AI-supported Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Metacognitive Learning will help us unlock strategies to deliver learner outcomes for students of all aptitudes.

We recognize that college admissions to top U.S. universities have become increasingly competitive due to the rapid growth of the U.S. high school graduate population. However, this trend will peak in 2024-25 and then decline, creating an extraordinary window of opportunity for SAIE to achieve even greater college placement success. With unwavering commitment from our teachers, students, and families, we believe SAIE is ready to emerge as a National International School in the next decade.

As the year comes to a close, it is a time to reflect on our collective achievements, cherish time with loved ones, and recharge for the future. To our students, we are proud of your dedication and growth this year. To our parents, thank you for your continued trust and partnership in SAIE’s journey. Together, we are building a school of excellence.

We wish all of you a joyful holiday season, filled with warmth, laughter, and peace. May the New Year bring new possibilities, health, and happiness.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Warm regards,

Dr. Xiaomin Chen

School Director
