Hello, parents and friends, thank you for choosing UICA.

We hope this is what you chose for your children.

The "second school" he really needs,

I hope it can teach children to cope with various challenges when they grow up.

Let his life have more choices and better possibilities.

Dear parents and friends of the British Academy of Sciences,

Anxiety is probably one of the most popular words of our time.

Ma Yun, the founder of Alibaba, described it this way when he founded Yungu School: The mission of future education is not to train children with high scores, not to train learning machines, nor to train children on the assembly line, but to make children become the best themselves and happy people.

The world is changing rapidly, and the future that children will face when they grow up is very different from our previous environment. This sense of urgency has been haunting me and my partners, and I believe parents and friends are the same: I hope that children will be more appropriately and calmly prepared for the world they will face when they grow up.

The full name of UICA is UNICORE International Children's College. Just like its name, the unicorn with beautiful wings hopes that our students will actively shape the cultivation and temperament of "outstanding independence, Masayuki self-cultivation, self-improvement, respect for morality and goodness".

Since 2007, the team around me has been running the ACT American College Examination Program. This program is not only to help students achieve excellent results in the American College Entrance Examination, but also to help China students make academic preparations in all aspects before entering top foreign universities, and to improve their critical thinking, independent thinking, teamwork and social feelings. In more than ten years, more than 2,000 students have entered world-renowned universities through this program, and they have also handed over very good life answers in their future study and work.

We also see that if these students had started preparing for international education as early as possible, quite a few of them might have achieved double success. We hope to use more than ten years of international education experience and curriculum system to help today's children complete international courses from primary school to high school and improve their academic quality.

Therefore, on 20 17, UICA junior college, an international amateur school, was established. Since the college was established in May 17, more than 200 families have sent their children to UICA to study basic courses such as English, mathematics and science, as well as international courses such as computer programming and STEM.

Although most students come from wealthy families, here they are influenced by a culture of equality and humility. UICA creates a big picture: children know that the world is much bigger than the city we live in, and they know when they need to be rule makers and when they need to be efficient followers.

Compared with the general full-time international schools, UICA's campus is not large, and we prefer to define it as "the international learning center in the city". Compared with international schools, children do not need to give up their original studies in public schools, and can complete international academic courses in their spare time. At the same time, there are more and more elective courses: STEM and programming in the School of Mathematics and Science; French and Spanish courses in the School of Humanities; Design the visual arts of the School of Art. At the same time, it can also help children to provide social and emotional learning, career development planning guidance, and international education background promotion. One-stop solution to children's international education.

Good education is based on respect for individuality, and at the same time, children can establish good study habits and self-reliance through entertaining, and at the same time have interest and love for learning. UICA hopes to give the gift of "self-confidence" to every student through subject study.

Education is not to destroy his inner enthusiasm, nor to suppress his unique talent; Is to help him open the source of his heart and help him find the flickering better self, including:

Learn to know, including how to learn, improve concentration, memory and thinking ability; Learn to do, including cultivating vocational skills, social behavior, teamwork, innovation and enterprising spirit; Learn to live together, including the ability to know yourself and yourself, empathy and the ability to achieve the same goal; Learn to be a man, including promoting self-realization, enriching personality traits, diversified expression ability and taking responsibility; Learning to change includes accepting change, adapting to change, taking the initiative to change and guiding change.

The international primary and secondary school curriculum of the British National Examinations Authority and the PLSC teaching material system of Pearson, the world's largest educational publishing group, have given UICA college a greater degree of openness and development. On the basis of the existing textbook structure, the teacher supplemented a lot of knowledge and logic, thus ensuring the children to get a standard classroom experience in British and American primary schools to the greatest extent.

On the basis of conforming to the curriculum standards of Chinese and western countries, we integrate teaching methods such as "subject learning", "project learning" and "interdisciplinary learning" into our teaching to meet the learning and growth of students and their personalized growth.

English-based multilingual learning aims to help students master communication tools and explore the thinking differences behind different cultural backgrounds, help them improve their perception and memory, and build a bridge for them to open, understand and explore the world.

The primary goal of UICA mathematics course, which combines concepts and applications, is to help children establish a rational, organized and systematic way of thinking, and at the same time urge students to constantly challenge themselves in it. Mathematics has become vivid and real, so that children are no longer "afraid of difficulties."

Science courses teach scientific knowledge and inspire critical thinking and methodology. Science course, as one of the core courses, runs through children's study life.

Good behavior habits will have a positive impact on children's learning effect. We constantly improve the school system and promote children to form good habits, including teachers who have been trained in children's behavior management such as PD, SEL and IPCS, as well as various courses specifically for children.

In UICA, we teach children team skills through courses and activities: leadership, influence, conflict management skills and the ability to get along with people from different backgrounds.

Play is a child's nature and the child's first language. In UICA, a large number of learning scenes and teaching activities are arranged by game time, so that children can fully relax, open themselves up and develop their personalities. Even a "Game Academy" was established to carry out the learning of "one thing, one lesson", giving each game a more positive meaning. Teachers here can better understand children's first language and establish a more trusting relationship with children.

In addition to regular teaching, UICA regularly organizes various theme activities for students, including design engineering, animation, building models, robots, tennis, equestrian, golf, public services and so on. It will also encourage and organize some top international competitions, such as USAP (American Academics Pentathlon), American Major League Thinking Exploration, ACT English Contest, American STEM Major League, World Youth Artificial Intelligence Contest, Pittsburgh International Invention Exhibition, etc.

UICA has established frequent intercollegiate exchanges and cooperation with 12 innovative universities in five countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and established study tour bases in five major school districts in the United States. During the winter and summer vacations, the school organizes teachers and students to go to the United States, Britain and other countries for research study, short-term study abroad and volunteer service.

These activities can not only expand students' interests, but also cultivate students' social skills and let students discover their own specialties and talents.

UICA regards loving children, understanding education and high academic level as the basic requirements for recruiting Chinese and foreign teachers. All ordinary teachers in UICA have internationally certified teacher qualifications and are full-time. They come from English-speaking countries, such as America, Britain and Australia. They not only have excellent academic background, but also have learning experience in top universities such as Stanford University, California Institute of Technology and Princeton University. They must have at least three years of educational experience.

In addition to the teaching team, UICA also has a diverse team of growth instructors. Some of them are popular science bloggers, some are children's psychological counselors, some are computer experts, some are proficient in four languages, and some are natural ecologists ... With the professional assistance of growth tutors, each student can choose the most suitable learning progress according to his current level and improve his level faster.

The core of the growth tutorial system is to treat everyone and every learner as an independent and active individual, rather than a homogeneous knowledge container.

UICA's campus also plans to set up special digital media classrooms, DT (Engineering Design) laboratories, super classrooms and other areas with different functions to ensure that children can learn independently.

At UICA, we believe that education is everywhere. In the corridor of the college, in the corner of the library, in the voice of greeting each other, in the interaction of the classroom, in the group cooperation debate, in the props of the laboratory, in the PPT of the speech ... In this small school, the children are the real protagonists, and they are learning this "game" happily.

UICA has set up a special curriculum research institute, and scholars from UCLA, Peking University and Tsinghua University are directly involved in guiding the design and development of the curriculum. The bottom content of its teaching and research comes from the curriculum model developed by Pearson, HMH and other world-renowned educational publishing institutions, and has been localized and iterated for China students, and teaching tools such as syllabus, study report, personalized file and evaluation scale have been optimized and added, making it easier for each student to enter the multi-evaluation system of academic and core literacy.

Besides attending classes, children also have a variety of university courses and theme activities every month: March's farming and reading meeting, April's science fair, May's art experience, June's school celebration season, July's hiking season, August's natural history school, September's China Week, 10/0' s reading festival, and10' s math festival. ...

The continuous improvement of multi-dimensional teaching evaluation and academic evaluation methods will ensure that students can get effective evaluation in line with their own characteristics and academic progress, so as to better improve the personalized learning effect.

UICA will be open for no less than 260 days every year. In addition to legal holidays and college rest days on Monday and Tuesday, parents and students can come to the college at any time to participate in the projects you want or study by themselves. Every month, a theme open day will be set up to let parents know more about the school culture, teaching methods and teachers' classrooms, and put forward valuable opinions.

Scenes such as the "Family Living Room Plan" connected by the Family Learning Center provide various conveniences for students' families. Once you join the living room plan, you can put your baby's birthday party, reading party, public welfare day and love market in the college by appointment. Even, you can borrow public areas such as college library, conference room and tea break area to receive friends from afar.

The Family Learning Center will also regularly organize various sharing activities for parents or children initiated by the Science Dad Committee and the Future Life Home Center. Imagine listening to a tea party shared by a famous educator in the college every weekend. My father leads the children to a manual battle, and my mother learns and experiences floral art, tie-dyeing, tea ceremony and yoga gracefully and quietly. ...

UICA will also help parents to better promote the growth of schools, families and students and create a more open international learning atmosphere according to their children's learning situation and institutional learning plans by setting the principal reception day, tutor meeting time and family meeting room.

In contact with family and society, UICA not only talks with students' parents regularly every semester, but also specially invites the heads of community property, convenience stores and life service enterprises to serve as "social resource coordinators".

In this process, UICA is like a big family, and everyone has the opportunity to learn from each other.

As the main body of learning, students participate in activities with real cultural significance, actively try to ensure learning strategies, set opportunities to reflect on their own understanding process, and carry out activities linking children's practice with adult practice. Students devote themselves to inquiry activities with learning value and make choices for their own affairs.

We hope to provide students with situational and situational learning, help them think in their behavior, and participate in the attempt again and again.

Sato said, "The so-called' good school' is by no means a school without problems, but a school where students, teachers and parents all face' problems' and Qi Xin works together to solve them." UICA Yingke International College is still far from the dream, but we firmly believe that as long as we keep faith, Do not forget your initiative mind, actively explore, take students as the center, think and act from the children's point of view, we can work with parents to help children seek a better future.
