最理想的教育發(fā)生在最適合的學(xué)校里。
這5個(gè)家庭的轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)故事再次告訴我們：
在孩子們都很努力的今天，
做出“智慧的選擇”真的很重要!
選擇對(duì)了，
“厭學(xué)”變“盼學(xué)”
只要2個(gè)月！
講述人吳嘉仁、吳嘉信媽媽
轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)軌跡2年級(jí)從公立學(xué)校轉(zhuǎn)入啟明星
他們?cè)瓉碓诒本┪鞒菂^(qū)一所不錯(cuò)的公立學(xué)校讀書，但學(xué)校的教育方式和我們的期待不同。孩子一到周日就比較焦慮，因?yàn)橹芤痪陀忠蠈W(xué)了。
轉(zhuǎn)來啟明星不到2個(gè)月，我們就看到了積極的變化：孩子每天都很喜歡上學(xué)，還會(huì)滔滔不絕地給我們講每天都發(fā)生了什么有意思的事情。以前生病了他們會(huì)說，太好了，可以不用上學(xué)了！現(xiàn)在要是生病不能上學(xué)，他們挺失望的。
從公立轉(zhuǎn)到啟明星，我比較擔(dān)心他們的英語能力，現(xiàn)在疑慮完全打消了。James老師和我面對(duì)面溝通孩子情況，還會(huì)根據(jù)我的反饋調(diào)整孩子的作業(yè)，個(gè)性化支持非常到位！
啟明星的老師也挺會(huì)激發(fā)他們的內(nèi)驅(qū)力的。之前，為了激發(fā)他們的學(xué)習(xí)興趣——比如寫字，我做過很多努力，都沒有什么成效?，F(xiàn)在他們會(huì)主動(dòng)去識(shí)字寫字！我真的很好奇，老師們有什么魔法嗎？”
千萬別小看
“歸屬感”。
講述人周秦媽媽、周秦
轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)軌跡1年級(jí)入學(xué)啟明星，9年級(jí)轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)加拿大寄宿學(xué)校，10年級(jí)轉(zhuǎn)回啟明星
媽媽：周秦1年級(jí)就在啟明星上學(xué)，9年級(jí)之前，他的一些同學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)去海外讀高中了。我覺得這對(duì)周秦有影響。那個(gè)時(shí)候，我自己也希望他去加拿大讀大學(xué)。所以，周秦在9年級(jí)轉(zhuǎn)去了加拿大的一所寄宿學(xué)校。
加拿大的學(xué)校比較大，也是IB學(xué)校，他適應(yīng)得不錯(cuò)，但第一個(gè)假期回來，他就跟我們說，這所學(xué)?！皩?duì)我沒有吸引力”。
周秦：我還留在啟明星的同學(xué)群里，也能看到原來同學(xué)談?wù)搶W(xué)習(xí)。這么一比，我覺得加拿大學(xué)校的課程比較淺，科學(xué)課的難度也就是啟明星6年級(jí)的程度。還有，我一個(gè)人在加拿大比較孤獨(dú)。
當(dāng)時(shí)我也比較糾結(jié)要不要回來，是朋友的一句讓我下了決心。他說，你要想想哪里讓你更開心。啟明星小而親密，讓我特別有歸屬感，回來讓我更開心！……現(xiàn)在，老師開始和我們討論DP選課了。學(xué)校小，老師都比較了解解我們，結(jié)合我們之前的個(gè)人成績(jī)，告訴我們選哪門課會(huì)有什么樣的結(jié)果。加拿大的學(xué)校人數(shù)比較多，老師也就是籠統(tǒng)地講一下。
媽媽：轉(zhuǎn)回啟明星之后，周秦能客觀理性地看待周圍的環(huán)境了。他每天都特別滿足，踏踏實(shí)實(shí)的，很開心！
偏理科的孩子，
更需要培養(yǎng)人文素養(yǎng)！
講述人張博軒媽媽
轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)軌跡1年級(jí)入學(xué)啟明星，9年級(jí)轉(zhuǎn)到另一所雙語學(xué)校，10年級(jí)回到啟明星
我的孩子偏理科。上初中以后，我們希望他更專注理科知識(shí)和英文的學(xué)習(xí)，也擔(dān)心他并不適合啟明星高中的IB課程體系。以我當(dāng)時(shí)的理解，IB學(xué)習(xí)需要寫大篇幅的論文，像文科一樣，這和我們認(rèn)知的理科學(xué)習(xí)方法是不一樣的。所以孩子9年級(jí)的時(shí)候，我們就轉(zhuǎn)去了一所以數(shù)理化見長(zhǎng)的雙語學(xué)校。
在新學(xué)校，孩子在理科知識(shí)點(diǎn)的學(xué)習(xí)上得到了滿足，但也意外發(fā)現(xiàn)，他的英文在啟明星屬于中等水平，在新學(xué)校倒是擁有絕對(duì)優(yōu)勢(shì)。
后來，我又從啟明星的一位畢業(yè)生那里了解到，啟明星高中的老師既有熱情，又態(tài)度認(rèn)真。這位學(xué)生在DP階段選修了數(shù)學(xué)、生物和化學(xué)這些理科，最后3科全是滿分7分。這也讓我對(duì)啟明星高中的學(xué)術(shù)更有信心了。
在新學(xué)校的經(jīng)歷還讓我意識(shí)到，越是偏理科的孩子，越需要培養(yǎng)人文素養(yǎng)，才能作為“全人”走得更遠(yuǎn)；校園的文化對(duì)孩子的成長(zhǎng)也非常重要，周圍有什么樣的同學(xué)和家庭群體，會(huì)直接影響孩子個(gè)性、興趣和價(jià)值觀的塑造。
基于以上種種考慮，10年級(jí)我們回到了啟明星，我們相信，這里的教育環(huán)境能讓孩子更好地發(fā)展！
充分相信，
是送給孩子
最好的成長(zhǎng)禮物！
講述人王朗皓媽媽
轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)軌跡1年級(jí)入學(xué)啟明星，9年級(jí)轉(zhuǎn)到另一所雙語學(xué)校，10年級(jí)回到啟明星
我兒子和張博軒轉(zhuǎn)到同一所學(xué)校，又一道轉(zhuǎn)回來。
孩子在新學(xué)校的經(jīng)歷讓我們意識(shí)到，啟明星早就為孩子培養(yǎng)了扎實(shí)的學(xué)術(shù)素養(yǎng)。
我們到新學(xué)校不久，ICT（信息通信技術(shù)）老師就跟我反饋說，我兒子的作業(yè)讓他印象非常深刻。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上，這位老師拿著兒子做的研究小冊(cè)子給我看，說‘這樣年紀(jì)的孩子，能夠做出這種近乎于成人學(xué)術(shù)研究報(bào)告標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的總結(jié)，實(shí)在讓人驚訝。格式、思路、展示風(fēng)格，都非常棒！’”
現(xiàn)在回想當(dāng)初轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)原因，其實(shí)是我們不夠相信孩子能夠克服挑戰(zhàn)，不相信他能適應(yīng)高年級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)。這也讓我們反思——我們的孩子，比我們想象的更優(yōu)秀。
曾經(jīng)，是我們家長(zhǎng)主導(dǎo)轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)，這回，讓孩子做主轉(zhuǎn)回。孩子堅(jiān)決選擇回到啟明星，理由很簡(jiǎn)單——他相信自己的能力，能在啟明星成為更好的自己。
我覺得，放手去相信，是送給孩子最好的成長(zhǎng)禮物。
孩子能“沖高”，
就加些挑戰(zhàn)！
講述人聶穎兒爸爸
轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)軌跡4年級(jí)從外籍人員子女學(xué)校轉(zhuǎn)入啟明星
Lauren（聶穎兒）是2年前從國(guó)外回到北京的，當(dāng)時(shí)進(jìn)的是一所國(guó)際學(xué)校。第一年她適應(yīng)得很好，第二年，她的中文和數(shù)學(xué)進(jìn)步都不如預(yù)期。我們覺得原因是她得到的挑戰(zhàn)不夠，對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)不那么興奮了。
我們?cè)L問了啟明星，這里正是我們想要找的學(xué)校：啟明星的個(gè)性化教學(xué)很吸引我們。Lauren入學(xué)第一周，我們就收到了老師的信息，告訴我們她在哪些學(xué)科取得了進(jìn)展，在哪些領(lǐng)域還需要注意，還很快為她制訂了專屬的學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃，讓我們很驚訝！
Lauren的融入也特別順利，無論老師、同學(xué)，還是學(xué)校里的職工，都會(huì)特別關(guān)照她。中午吃飯的時(shí)候，餐廳的員工立即認(rèn)出她是新轉(zhuǎn)來的。他們熱情地招呼她，要多吃一點(diǎn)啊！我覺得是社區(qū)里的每一個(gè)人共同營(yíng)造了這種充滿關(guān)愛的社區(qū)文化。
我們看到了Lauren的變化。她學(xué)習(xí)更努力了，很享受適合她的學(xué)習(xí)難度和挑戰(zhàn)。我們真希望能早點(diǎn)知道啟明星，2年前知道就更好了！
每一次教育道路的轉(zhuǎn)換，都是家庭對(duì)教育理念的重新審視。5個(gè)家庭的故事告訴我們：真正好的學(xué)校，不只教授知識(shí)，更能啟迪學(xué)生追尋幸福感和歸屬感。

The ideal education takes place in the school most suited to you.
The transfer stories of these five families remind us:
In a time when all students are working hard,
making "wise choices" is of utmost importance!
By Making the Right Choice "Disliking School" Became "Looking Forward to Learning" in Just Two Months!
SpeakerJacob Wu and Jasper Wu's mother
Transfer TrajectoryTransferred from a public school to Daystar in second grade
They originally studied at a pretty good public school in Beijing’s Xicheng district. But the school's educational approach and our expectations were not matched. Every Sunday, the children would get anxious and upset because they had to go back to school on Monday.
In less than two months after transferring to Daystar, we saw positive changes: the children love going to school every day; and they will tell us in detail about the interesting things that happen at school. Before, when they were sick, they would say, "Great, I don't have to go to school!" Now, if they are unwell and cannot go to school, they are disappointed.
When they transferred from the public school to Daystar, I was concerned about their English proficiency. Now those worries have been completely dispelled. Their teacher, James, communicates with me face-to-face about their situation, and he will also adjust the children's assignments based on my feedback.The personalized support is excellent!
Also, Daystar's teachers are very good at igniting the students’ intrinsic motivation. In the past, I put in a lot of effort to stimulate their interest in learning - for example, writing - but with limited results. Now, they are seeking out opportunities to continue learning to read and write! I am very curious:what "magic" do the teachers have?
Never Underestimate
the "Sense of Belonging".
SpeakersJoe Zhou, Joe Zhou's mother
Transfer TrajectoryEnrolled at Daystar in first grade, transferred to a Canadian boarding school in ninth grade, returned to Daystar in tenth grade
Joe Zhou's mother:Joe has been studying at Daystar since first grade. Before ninth grade, some of his classmates had transferred abroad for high school. I felt this had an impact on him. At that time, I also hoped he would go to Canada for university. So in ninth grade, Joe transferred to a boarding school in Canada.
The Canadian school was a larger IB school, and he adapted quite well. But during the first vacation, he told us that this school "has nothing that interests me."
Joe Zhou:I was still in my Daystar friends WeChat group, and I could see my former classmates discussing what they were learning. Compared with what they were discussing,I felt the courses at the school in Canada were somewhat superficial; and the difficulty of the science courses was just at the Daystar’s sixth grade level. I also felt quite lonely being on my own in Canada.
At the time, I was also quite conflicted about whether to come back. But something a friend said to me helped me decide. He said, "You have to think about where makes you happier." Daystar's small and intimate campus gave me a strong sense of belonging, and coming back made me happier!...
Our teachers have also started discussing DP course selection with us. Since the school is small, the teachers have a better understanding of who we are, and based on our previous individual performance, they can advise us what might happen if we choose certain courses. The school in Canada has a larger student body, so the teachers could only give more general advice.
Joe Zhou's mother:After transferring back to Daystar, Joe can be more objective and rational in his assessment of his environment. He is much more satisfied, grounded, and happy day to day!
The More Inclined A Child Is Towards Science, The More They Need To Cultivate Their Appreciation And Abilities In Humanities To Develop As A "Whole Person".
SpeakerJerry Zhang's mother
Transfer TrajectoryEnrolled at Daystar in first grade, transferred to another bilingual school in ninth grade , then returned to Daystar in tenth grade
My child leans more towards science. After entering middle school, we wanted him to focus more on further strengthening his science knowledge and learning English. We were also worried that he may not be well suited for the IB system in Daystar’s high school. Based on my understanding at the time, IB learning requires writing lengthy essays, which would be more like liberal arts and different from our perception of what is needed for science. So when my child was in ninth grade, we transferred to a bilingual school that is strong in physics, chemistry and mathematics.
At the new school, my son was satisfied with the science program, and he also unexpectedly discovered that his English, which was only average at Daystar, had become a comparative strength.
Later, I spoke with a Daystar graduate who explained to me that Daystar’s high school teachers are both passionate and diligent. This student chose math, biology, and chemistry as his DP subjects, and got full marks of seven in all three. This gave me more confidence in Daystar’s high school academics.
The experience at the new school also made me realize thatthe more inclined a child is towards science, the more they need to cultivate their appreciation and abilities in humanities to develop as a "whole person." A school’s culture is also very important for a child's growth; the type of classmates and families they encounter will directly affect their personality, interests, and values develop.
Given all these factors, we returned to Daystar in tenth grade because we believe that the educational environment here can best support our child's development!
I Feel That Letting Go Of Control And Trusting My Child Is The Best Gift I Can Give Him!
SpeakerHarry Wang's mother
Transfer TrajectoryEnrolled at Daystar in first grade, transferred to another bilingual school in ninth grade, then returned to Daystar in tenth grade
My son’s experience is very similar to Jerry Zhang's; they transferred to the same school and then both came back.
The experience at the new school made us realize that Daystar had already cultivated strong academic skills and qualities for our children.
Soon after we went to the new school, the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) teacher contacted me to share feedback about one of my son's assignments. At the parent-teacher meeting, this teacher showed me the research booklet my son had done, and said, "For such a young student to produce a summary that is almost at the academic research report standard of an adult is truly remarkable. The format, logic, and presentation style are all excellent!"
Reflecting on the reasons for transferring at that time, it was because we didn't believe our child could overcome certain challenges and didn't trust he could adapt to the learning in higher grade levels. Ultimately, this helped us to realize that our child is stronger than we had imagined.
While previously, it was a parent-led decision to transfer out, this time, we let our child take the lead to decide to return. Our son was clear in his choice to return to Daystar.His reasons were simple: he believes in his own abilities and knows he can become a better version of himself at Daystar.
I feel that letting go of control and trusting my child is the best gift I can give him.
If Your Child Can Soar Higher, Don’t Shy Away From Challenges!
SpeakerLauren Lip's father
Transfer TrajectoryTransferred from an international school to Daystar in fourth grade
Lauren came back to Beijing from being out of the country two years ago; at that time she started at an international school. In the first year, she adapted very well, but in the second year, her Chinese and math progress was not as expected. We felt the reason was that she was not being challenged enough and was no longer as excited about learning.
We visited Daystar, and immediately found that this is the school we were looking for.Daystar's personalized teaching is very appealing to us.In Lauren's first week at the school, we received messages from the teachers, telling us about her progress in certain subjects and areas that needed more attention; they even quickly developed a customized learning plan for her, which really surprised us!
Lauren's integration was very smooth, whether it was the teachers, classmates, or the school staff, they all took special care of her. During lunchtime, the cafeteria staff immediately recognized her as a new transfer student. They warmly welcomed her and encouraged her to eat more!I feel that it is the collective effort of everyone in the community that has created this caring community culture.
We saw the changes in Lauren. She studied harder, and really enjoyed learning at the appropriate level and with enough challenge. We only wish we had known about Daystar earlier!
Every transition in a child’s educational journey is an opportunity for the family to reexamine their educational philosophy. The stories of these five families illustrate that for a school to be truly good, it must not only impart knowledge, but also inspire students to pursue a sense of happiness and belonging. Daystar sincerely welcome and invite families who resonate with Daystar's philosophy to join us at our Open House:

How is our bilingual education?
In the most recent Zongheng International School Chinese Debate Tournament, Daystar’s middle school teams swept all awards categories: Champion of Second Half, Grand Champion, Top Overall Debater, and Top Debater for Each Round.
Daystar students have also won recognition and multiple awards in English debate competitions. In the 2024 Harvard Debate Council Summer Camp, after 12 rounds of competitions, our students won the Champion prize in the Public Forum Debate. In the TOC ASIA National Debate Championship, Daystar students won the high school division Championship in Public Forum debate, and also received the Outstanding Speaker Award.
According to recent official data from MAP testing, while Daystar students enter Pre-K and Grade 1 with lower average reading scores than their peers in the U.S., they catch up by Grade 2 and begin to outperform U.S. students by Grade 4.
