CONGRATULATIONS

SHBS is proud to celebrate the many and diverse accomplishments of the Class of 2023, with an impressive range of college admission offers from around the world that builds upon an already stellar record since the School opened five years ago. These students’ achievements embody the creativity, initiative, and purposefulness of our community, which works together to support each individual’s unique talents and aspirations.

宏潤博源非常自豪地祝賀2023屆畢業(yè)生取得優(yōu)異成績。他們備受世界各地知名學(xué)府的青睞，給學(xué)校五年來原本就令人欣喜的升學(xué)成績再添上一抹更加鮮亮的色彩。同學(xué)們的斐然成績展現(xiàn)了我們這個社區(qū)的創(chuàng)新性，主動性以及對意義和價值的追求，這使得社區(qū)每位成員都可以發(fā)展自己的獨特才能和報負。

What is success?

什么是成功?

This question drives us in a process of discovery that eschews conventional competition and creates space for original, authentic discovery. SHBS inspires self-awareness that empowers students’ confidence and their ability to share their growth in meaningful ways—to distinguish themselves in the stories they’re able to tell about their unique experiences, their individual perceptiveness, and the ways they’ve built relationships that are mutually enriching.

對這個問題的思考促使我們在探索和發(fā)現(xiàn)的過程中摒棄傳統(tǒng)的競爭，為原創(chuàng)的、真實的發(fā)現(xiàn)創(chuàng)造空間。宏潤博源能夠激發(fā)和培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的自我意識，增強學(xué)生的自信心和能力，賦能他們以有意義的方式分享自己的成長—他們獨特的經(jīng)歷和故事，觀點和看法，以及與他人建立互相滋養(yǎng)的關(guān)系的方式都會將他們變得與眾不同。

In the college advising process, SHBS stands out in how it develops students’ knowledge and understanding of higher education, and their ability to translate their own ambitions in compelling ways—ways that demonstrate an understanding of and connection to their ideal colleges and universities. We allow every student to realize their advantages so that they will have the best and most suitable opportunities possible—be it at a top public research university, an exceptional liberal arts college, an elite Ivy League institution, or a leading arts and design school—and whether in the UK, Canada, US, Japan, Australia, Europe, or elsewhere.

在升學(xué)指導(dǎo)的過程中，宏潤博源會提升學(xué)生對高等教育的認識和理解，以及用有說服力的方式展現(xiàn)自己的渴望和抱負的能力：他們能夠展現(xiàn)出對理想大學(xué)的深刻認識和理解，以及自己與大學(xué)的適配性。我們會幫助每位同學(xué)認識到自己的特點和優(yōu)勢，讓他們獲得最好和最合適的機會--無論是頂尖的公立研究型大學(xué)、卓越的文理學(xué)院、精英的常春藤盟校，還是領(lǐng)先的藝術(shù)和設(shè)計學(xué)院--無論是在英國、加拿大、美國、日本、澳大利亞、歐洲，還是其它國家和地區(qū)。

Here again, questions drive students’ exploration: rather than fall into the traps created by mindlessly following rankings, SHBS students discern what kind of environment will best enrich their future growth—and how they’ll contribute to their new communities. Students have regular and in-depth meetings to discuss their interests, and the college advising team facilitates numerous group activities and forums for students to learn about higher educational institutions and build early connections that lay a foundation for their applications. From dozens of information sessions, panel discussions, and workshops, students gain the capacity to articulate thoughtfully their own why, and to share that in impressive, novel, and inspiring ways. They’re able to craft a realistic, balanced list of schools to which they’ll apply, capitalizing on their advantages and making well-informed, strategic decisions. Students are also provided with extensive support to help with their own writing—finding a voice that will stand out in their personal statements, essays, and other supplemental materials.

問題會驅(qū)動學(xué)生的探索：宏潤博源的學(xué)生沒有落入盲目追求大學(xué)排名而產(chǎn)生的陷阱，而是能清楚辨別什么樣的環(huán)境能最好地滋養(yǎng)他們未來的成長--以及他們將如何為新的大學(xué)社區(qū)做貢獻。升學(xué)團隊的老師會定期與學(xué)生溝通，幫助他們深度了解自己的興趣和特點，也會組織許多小組活動和論壇幫助他們了解大學(xué)，提前與大學(xué)建立聯(lián)系，為之后的申請做準(zhǔn)備。通過幾十場信息會議、小組討論和研討會，學(xué)生有能力深度分享自己選擇一所大學(xué)的理由，并且能夠用讓人印象深刻、新穎和鼓舞人心的方式分享這些理由。他們能夠利用自己的優(yōu)勢，制定一份現(xiàn)實的、平衡的大學(xué)申請列表，做出明智的、有戰(zhàn)略性的申請決定。學(xué)生在準(zhǔn)備申請文書時也會獲得很多支持—升學(xué)老師會幫助他們在主文書、小文書以及其它補充材料中梳理出一個獨特的聲音，脫穎而出。

SHBS also invests in providing the best application support possible. We continually work with teachers to help them craft thoughtful and engaging letters of recommendation that capture students’ academic progress in narratives that resonate with college admissions teams. We focus on capturing students’ personalities and performance in honest ways that provide a full impression of who they are as individuals. In turn, SHBS continually engages professional forums and networks for university admissions, advocating for our students and sharing what makes our community unique. This involvement and long-developed expertise further amplifies our school’s place in the international education landscape.

宏潤博源投入很多時間，精力和資源為同學(xué)們提供最好的申請支持。學(xué)校與任課老師一起，為每位同學(xué)提供深思熟慮的，能夠展現(xiàn)學(xué)生個人學(xué)術(shù)成長故事的推薦信。我們注重展現(xiàn)學(xué)生真實的個性和學(xué)術(shù)表現(xiàn)，呈現(xiàn)出他們作為一個個體的真實且全面的形象。此外，宏潤博源也經(jīng)常參加海外大學(xué)招生的專業(yè)論壇和社群活動，為我們的學(xué)生站臺并分享我們學(xué)校的獨特之處。這種積極參與和長期積累的專業(yè)知識進一步增強了我們學(xué)校在國際教育領(lǐng)域的地位。

Indeed, SHBS does stand apart in the opportunities it provides: in additional to a robust selection of extracurricular clubs and activities, the School continually seeks to broaden students’ horizons in ways that help them put their own knowledge in context while pushing them to reach beyond their circumstances. Programs like Building Shanghai, a week-long learning experience in which students ask original questions and undertake extensive research off campus, connect them to real-world problems and opportunities. Similarly, our travel and leadership programs within China, and also in India, Italy, and the United States, further broadens students’ horizons and allows them to develop a truly global perspective. Paired with the breadth and depth of our standard academic curriculum, students are able to strengthen a much broader set of skills that amplify and differentiate their scholarly achievement.

事實上，宏潤博源確實與眾不同，它為學(xué)生提供了豐富且獨特的機會：在豐富的學(xué)生社團和課外活動的基礎(chǔ)上，學(xué)校還非常重視同學(xué)們將所學(xué)知識應(yīng)用于實際的場景中，推動他們發(fā)揮超越自身處境的影響力，不斷拓展視野。學(xué)校會開展豐富的實踐類學(xué)習(xí)活動，比如“建設(shè)上海”。“建設(shè)上海”是一個為期一周的項目式學(xué)習(xí)活動，學(xué)生提出原創(chuàng)性問題并走出校園進行廣泛研究，并將這些問題與現(xiàn)實世界中的問題和機遇聯(lián)系起來。同樣地，我們在中國國內(nèi)以及印度、意大利和美國的研學(xué)項目和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力項目，也進一步拓展了學(xué)生的視野，培養(yǎng)他們具備真正的全球視野。這樣的學(xué)習(xí)實踐活動與我們標(biāo)準(zhǔn)學(xué)術(shù)課程的廣度和深度相結(jié)合，能夠鍛煉學(xué)生全方位的技能，幫助他們在自己的興趣領(lǐng)域取得更優(yōu)異的成績。

Every one of the offers received by SHBS students comes with its own story, a wonderful and varied reflection of who a student has become, and the great potential they have for the future. Every one of those stories has an authenticity and honesty rooted in our community—in the broad diversity of strengths and capabilities that come together to create genuine education.

宏潤博源每一份錄取通知書都有自己的故事，反映出每位學(xué)子過去的經(jīng)歷，現(xiàn)在成為了怎樣的人，以及未來的巨大潛力。每一個故事都是真實和真誠的，這也是根植于我們整個社區(qū)血脈里的文化-- 廣泛且多樣性的力量和能力匯聚在一起，共同創(chuàng)造出真正且真實的教育。

The leadership, the curiosity, the missteps and victories, the empathy and emotion and empowerment, all help our students stand apart as they strive to become their best selves—to continually discover and determine what the best means for them. Rather than succumbing to grades or prizes or awards or scores of conventional points of comparison, students earn a more meaningful, intrinsic understanding of success that provides them with the tools to flourish. That difference does indeed put SHBS graduates in a class by themselves—they can show so much of who they are in such compelling ways—and leads to these fantastic admission offers.

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力、好奇心、失誤和勝利、同理心、情感和賦能，共同幫助我們的學(xué)生在追求成為更好的自己的道路上脫穎而出：不斷去探索和發(fā)現(xiàn)最好的自己究竟意味著什么。學(xué)生不再只是囹圄在分數(shù)、獎品、獎狀或者是傳統(tǒng)的與他人的比較之中，而是對成功有了更深刻更有意義的理解，這會助力他們?nèi)〉酶蟮某晒Α＿@也使得宏潤博源的畢業(yè)生們脫穎而出--他們能夠以讓人信服的方式來展現(xiàn)“我是誰”--這也使得他們備受世界名校的青睞。

Congratulations to again to the SHBS Class of 2023, and to our entire community for this wonderful recognition.

再次祝賀宏潤博源2023屆的同學(xué)們，也祝賀我們宏潤博源社區(qū)榮獲如此多的贊譽和認可。
