Speaking of Guizhou, what do you think of first? Dense jungle, sinkhole, a poor place? However, great changes have taken place in Guizhou, becoming the fastest growing province in China, with an increase of nearly 300% in 10.
Great changes have taken place in Guizhou. On the one hand, the country attaches importance to the development of southwest China, on the other hand, it also grasps the general trend of informatization. In recent years, Guiyang has concentrated on the development of big data industry, taking the lead in building a national-level big data industry development cluster and becoming the forefront of industry development.
In order to develop high-tech industries, it is necessary to have relevant supporting resources to retain top talents. Therefore, Bosch Music Education Group (formerly Guangdong Country Garden Education Group) responded to the call of the country to develop the southwest region, and came to Guiyang with the educational concept accumulated by Guangdong Country Garden School for many years, and established Huaxi Country Garden International School, which is dedicated to promoting and upgrading the development of international education in the southwest region and bringing high-quality and advanced international educational resources to high-tech industrial talents rooted in Guiyang.
Guiyang Huaxi Country Garden International School implements PYP kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools of the International Department, and introduces "inclusive" IB international education courses.

Integrating IB PYP education concept into national compulsory education curriculum
Cultivate talents in the new era who learn to think interdisciplinary.
Six months after the start of primary and secondary schools, Huaxi Country Garden International School became a candidate school for IB PYP. On July 5, 20 18, it was officially authorized by IB PYP, becoming the only IB PYP school in Yunnan and Guizhou.
IB PYP authorization certificate
PYP, the abbreviation of Primary Years Programme in English, is to form an understanding of important concepts, form a positive attitude, master basic knowledge and skills, and take responsible actions.
The cultivation of ten training goals (IB learner files) and twelve attitudes runs through the exploration. PYP project is committed to cultivating people with international feelings, recognizing humanistic spirit and sharing the responsibility of protecting the earth. Cultivating students' attitude towards others, the environment and learning will be beneficial to the development of students' individual physical and mental and collective interests, and then help to create a better and more peaceful world.
PYP plan is a curriculum project for kindergarten and primary school students, which advocates the integration of various ability training into teaching to prevent students from memorizing. Therefore, PYP is not preaching the truth, but integrating into thematic inquiry.
Guiyang Huaxi Country Garden International School
PYP conducts interdisciplinary research around the following six themes:
1. Who are we?
(Who are we?)
2. What time and space are we in?
(where and when we are)
3. How do we express ourselves?
(How do we express ourselves)
4. How does the world work?
(how the world works)
5. How do we organize ourselves?
(How do we organize ourselves)
6.*** Enjoy the Earth
(share the earth)
In the process of inquiry, it will also involve six subject areas:
1. language
2. Social studies
3. Personal/social/fitness education
(Personal/Social/Sports)
4. Mathematics
5. Art
6. Science and technology (science &; Technology)
The inquiry activity of PYP project is initiated by students or teachers, which makes students develop from the current understanding level to a new and deeper understanding level. On the one hand, exploration is actively involved in the social and natural environment to understand the world, on the other hand, it is to reflect on the relationship between practical experience and collected information.
The development of inquiry activities, horizontally, pays attention to the correlation of six themes; At the same time, in the vertical direction, pay attention to the connection and application of knowledge and experience of students at different ages.
Daily classroom
But PYP is a course for young children. Can such a young child successfully complete such a high-span course?
Let's take a look at the course scores of students in Huaxi Country Garden International School:
A probe into the theme of Guizhou tourism
Guizhou tourism development
The children not only showed us the colorful tourist landscapes of Guizhou, such as Huangguoshu Waterfall, Qingyan Ancient Town, Fan Jing, Seven Arches, Zunyi Conference Site, Dragon Palace and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, but also discussed their historical background and economic impact.
A probe into the theme of Guizhou minority costumes
An analysis of Guizhou minority costumes
Guizhou is a multi-ethnic settlement, and minority cultures attract Chinese and foreign tourists. Students in this project take us to appreciate the national costumes of Miao, Buyi, Dong, Bai and Tujia, and explore the historical origins behind them. In order to further explore, the students actually went to the minority folk studio, visited and learned batik, wax paper painting, tie-dyeing and other production.

As you can see, students have expanded their knowledge in various disciplines around a theme, and the abstracts are illustrated and varied. If you don't say it, will you know that these topics were summed up by the fifth-grade students of Huaxi Country Garden International School?
This is the result of implementing PYP education. In Huaxi Country Garden International School, teachers take the national compulsory education curriculum as the backbone and integrate the IB PYP project inquiry mode into the teaching form. While studying the national compulsory education curriculum, students conduct interdisciplinary research on the subject.
In the process of inquiry, teachers will give students the necessary guidance and help, and more often, they will inspire students to think independently and search materials for inquiry. In the process of inquiry, students cooperate with each other, think about the direction of inquiry, independently search for information and actively seek outside help. Students can gain knowledge and exercise skills from each link, and finally sort out the query results and report them. In this process, knowledge is deepened and consolidated in their minds, forming a virtuous circle.

Attach importance to teacher training
Building a team of high-quality teachers
In the teaching form of IB PYP, the teacher's work in the classroom seems to be very easy, but in fact, the requirements for the teaching teacher are quite high.
First of all, the school has very strict requirements on the selection of teachers: Bosch Music Education Group selects and trains teachers who have been admitted to Tsinghua Peking University and Oxford and Cambridge as the core management team and backbone teachers of Huaxi Country Garden International School. The master's degree of front-line teachers accounts for more than 25%, and the proportion of foreign teachers exceeds 10%. When the school inspects teachers, personality is the first key factor, and the teacher's personality must not be biased;
Secondly, teachers should have high academic qualifications, good teaching ability and be good at inspiring and guiding students; Thirdly, teachers are required to have a strong willingness to learn actively.
Internal communication and sharing activities of primary school teachers
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of IB PYP, it is decided that teachers should not only teach knowledge of a single subject in class, but also contact knowledge of other disciplines. As we all know, in the classrooms of ordinary schools in China, different subjects are taught independently by different teachers. However, in Huaxi Country Garden International School, teachers who only know one subject are obviously not qualified to be PYP classroom teachers.
To this end, Huaxi Country Garden School has organized all teachers to carry out training activities related to the IB PYP curriculum project for many times, including inviting professional IB trainers to the school for training and organizing teachers to share internally. In daily work, teachers of different subjects will help each other prepare lessons, so that every teacher can become a competent and professional PYP teacher.

Dozens of courses featuring sports art.
Diversified choices make students grow better.
In ordinary schools, some non-disciplinary physical education and art courses are only optional courses for students to choose, but in Huaxi Country Garden International School, these courses are compulsory and optional.
The school believes that helping students and their parents discover their hobbies and specialties at the student stage will play a positive role in students' future application to foreign universities and even their future life planning and career planning. Therefore, when offering compulsory physical education courses, we should not only consider whether the interest of the course is suitable for students' age, but also fully consider the possible role of the course in students' future life.
1. Movement:
Tennis lessons are included in the school routine, physical education class. Junior students practice decomposition movements under the guidance of professional teachers, and senior students master sparring skills.
Tennis class
Swimming is a compulsory course for 1-3 grade and an elective course for senior grade. The indoor heated swimming pool is professionally guided by the national swimming champion.
Swimming lessons
If tennis class is simply to exercise students' physique, then swimming class can not only keep fit, but also play a role in self-protection and self-help in special periods. Learning swimming skills in primary schools will benefit students for life.
2. Art category:
Art course aims at cultivating students' aesthetic ability.
Piano course 1-3 is compulsory and optional for senior students. Students learn at least three songs each semester. Under the guidance of professional piano teachers, students have participated in piano solo and accompaniment of large-scale activities in the school many times, with skilled skills and exquisite performances.
It is worth mentioning that in Huaxi Country Garden School, learning the piano is definitely not just the level of "flower boxing and embroidered legs". As long as students are willing to pursue further studies, the school will provide professional teachers, professional venues and facilities to meet the students' desire for further development.

Dance class is a compulsory course in the whole school, which shapes the body and cultivates aesthetic taste through dance.

Combining physical education with art courses, students can not only have strong physique, but also develop advanced aesthetics. Coupled with the interdisciplinary thinking established by PYP courses, they gradually become all-round talents to adapt to the global development trend.
In addition, Huaxi Country Garden International School also offers more than 20 courses featuring sports and art for students to choose from, including routine sports and art courses such as dance, piano, tennis, swimming, calligraphy and fine arts, as well as courses that take special care of students' personality development, such as children's model, roller skating, ice hockey, drum set and archery. , taught by professional teachers, to ensure that every student's interest is taken care of and to provide students with comprehensive skills.
