 以学生为中心

Student Agency

作为一所学生中心化的学校，我们实施探究式教学，教师通过提问和探索现实生活中的例子来引导学生，从而引导学生积极进行调查，自发对信息进行探索并构建意义。我们相信，学生的主动参与对培养其学习内驱力至关重要。

At AXIS, learning is an active process led by inquiry, curiosity and collaboration; promoting agency, self-efficacy and action. The AXIS curriculum is student centered; students are at the center of everything we do. Guided by the teacher, students are provided with opportunities to seek meaningful connections in the community and the world. Teachers create the conditions for curiosity in which students draw upon what they are learning, ask thoughtful questions and seek out answers to construct meaning. We believe that students’ active engagement plays a critical role in the development of their motivation to learn.

 科技应用

Technology Integration

AXIS是Apple School，学校的所有学习背后都有着针对性的科技支持，学生作为数字公民，享有科技所赋予广阔的学习资源。我们利用科技引导学生活动，并利用多媒体课堂活动来支持多种学习途径。我们教授学生使用方法，让他们理解何时以及如何使用各种技术平台和设备。TPACK框架和ISTE标准都是国际公认的框架，能够有效支持科技与课程内容的结合。常识媒体和ISTE资源支持着我们的学生成为数字公民，确保学生在所有互动中安全、道德和合法地运用科技。

AXIS is a one-to-one Apple iPad and Macbook school. All learning across the school is supported by the purposeful integration of technology allowing for students to be empowered learners and digital citizens. Technology, pedagogy and curriculum are thoughtfully interwoven. The one-to-one device program supports students to construct social learning, guides student agency, and supports multiple pathways to mastery. We create experiences for learners to make positive, socially responsible contributions and exhibit empathetic behavior online that builds relationships and community.

专业的升学与职业生涯规划指导

Professional Guidance: 

college entrance and career planning

AXIS为学生提供专业的职业生涯专业指导，学生进入高中阶段即可享有职业生涯指导咨询服务，并根据自己的兴趣或专攻方向，获取关于如何实现目标的最专业指导与规划，真正实现以目标为导向的学习规划与设计。建立良好的人际关系对学生的成长与成功至关重要，因此，我校将采用CASEL（美国芝加哥伊利诺伊大学学术、社会与情绪学习协同作用）框架来进行一对一的辅导支持。

The goal for every student at AXIS is to continue their learning and AXIS supports each student’s journey to find a best fit, post-secondary learning environment. In partnership with the school counselors, students explore their goals, strengths, interests, culture and family values, and educational objectives. The counseling program supports students to achieve success in school and develop into contributing members of our local and international community.  Building strong relationships is critical to students' growth and success, therefore, through the CASEL (Collaborative Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) framework students are taught five developmentally progressive social emotional competencies. The five competencies are cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy and self control.

校园环境

Campus Environment

AXIS学校将拥有一流的教学环境和设施，由英国顶尖设计师设计，采用符合国际环保标准材料，在保证安全的前提下，设计充分考量与满足师生们在教学、活动及生活上对于空间的日常与文化需求，创建一个实用性与艺术感兼备的环境。建筑的美会潜移默化地影响孩子审美能力，我们力求打造一个安全且舒适的最美校园。

Through the distinctive design of the learning spaces on the state-of-the-art campus, AXIS has reinvented school. In collaboration with top United Kingdom designers and built with materials conforming to the international environmental projection standard, the design of the learning spaces supports active learning in a flexible ecosystem. Inspired by Chinese culture, the design creates a safe environment, meeting the pedagogical and cultural needs of teachers and students in school life. The holistic learning landscapes are a powerful learning tool acting as a catalyst for curiosity and exploration in a safe and welcoming environment.

家长社区

Parent Community

AXIS致力于与家长建立真实可信的合作伙伴关系。家校配合将使信息得到更好的共享与相通，家长能更好地参与孩子的发展进步和生活表现。加入AXIS意味着参与到我们的教育体系。

Our approach to school is community based. From a student’s first step onto the AXIS campus, they are supported by a strong community that will be with them even past their graduation. We actively and purposefully establish partnerships with AXIS families to ensure a relevant and engaging educational program. We invest in building strong and sustained relationships that will build a sense of belonging and benefit all members of our community. We believe parent involvement in school life is an important factor for the success of every AXIS student.
