detail

Leland Stanford Junior University was founded by railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, then senator and governor of California, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, to commemorate the death of their son (Leland Stanford Junior) due to typhoid fever on the eve of his 16 birthday. Leland Stanford once said to his wife, "All children in California will be our children in the future." In June of the same year 10, the class officially started. On the opening day, President David Starr Jordan (former president of Indiana University in Bloomington) addressed the first group of students: "Stanford has no tradition and is not hindered by any tradition. All the road signs inside point straight ahead. " In addition to the campus structure, the Stanford couple also attached other regulations: implementing an education system to guide students to find the ideal they want to pursue after graduation, so that they can hear the call for the meaning of life in their hearts; All sectarian instructions in schools are forbidden, but spiritual education is still needed.

I don't know if you have seen its beauty. Your university is carefully designed by such an excellent architect who is loyal to our American style. His design is not blindly following the fashion, but applying the ancient California style to the architecture of the new university. A university with such a unique appearance, coupled with the geographical pattern of the canyon and the beautiful sky, coupled with these beautiful buildings, will be very disappointed if it does not become the most suitable place for citizens and academic development.

As we all know, Singapore is a relatively developed country. At the same time, its education system has a strong strength in Asia and even the whole world. It has not only trained many excellent local talents, but also attracted countless foreign students. The education of Singapore International School is excellent, and the education received by students is very international, but the tuition of Singapore International School is also relatively expensive. Do you know why the tuition fees of international schools in Singapore are more expensive than those in China? 1. Why are the tuition fees of international schools in Singapore more expensive than those in China? 1. Hiring excellent teachers is the main destination of tuition fees. For most international schools, hiring excellent teachers is the main destination of tuition fees, and about 73% of the budget is used to control teachers' salaries and benefits every year. International schools should employ many professionals, most of whom are high-quality and experienced teachers. Schools must pay teachers reasonable wages and provide attractive benefits, so that teachers can feel the value of their work and are willing to stay and work, thus forming a stable team of teachers that schools should have. This is why in the same city, the charging standards of excellent international schools are often very similar. Low tuition usually means that the teachers employed by a school are not very experienced in teaching, or the class size of the school is relatively large. 2. The construction and maintenance of campus environment comes from tuition. The campus environment undoubtedly has a great influence on students' learning conditions. Whether it is hardware facilities, greening conditions, or the quality level of administrative personnel, the soft environment is the embodiment of the running level of an international school. Private international schools take tuition as the cost source, which is used to pay housing rent and depreciation, teachers' salaries, administrators' salaries, books and materials, instruments and equipment, water and electricity costs, etc. Private international schools are positioned as non-profit categories. In order to maintain normal operation, it is also an international practice to adjust the tuition standard according to the cost of running a school. 3. Rich curriculum activities need financial support. In international schools, in order to improve students' cultural and sports quality and comprehensive ability, schools usually offer many special courses and campus activities based on school culture, including equestrian, golf and bowling, as well as domestic and international exchange activities such as study tours and overseas study tours. The setting of these courses, the hiring of teachers and the construction and maintenance of venues are undoubtedly one of the factors that make the tuition fees of international schools higher than those of similar schools. 2.
