The values of MIS Shekou曼校蛇口校区的理念
Two thousand years ago the Roman Educator, Quintilian, wrote:“Virtus preceptoris est ingeniorum notare discriminia.” “The excellence of the teacher is to identify the differences in talents of pupils.”
两千年前，罗马教育家昆蒂利安写道：”老师的卓越之处体现在“挖掘出学生的天赋。”
We strive for our students to become global citizens. Intrinsic to this is the cultivation of both
British and Chinese manners. 我们努力让我们的学生成为全球公民。在学术之外，需要在内在培养学生具有来自中国和英国良好的礼仪与品格。
Outside of academics, manners and the development of character lies at the heart of what we do. Communication and perspective is central to global citizenship; we encourage and guide our students to do the following:
沟通和观点是成为全球公民的核心技能之一;我们鼓励和引导我们的学生做到以下几点：
· When communicating, to have direct eye contact with the person you are speaking to.交流时，与交谈者需要眼神交流。
· To say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ in a sincere manner.真诚地说“请”和“谢谢”。
· To be able to welcome people through a warm shaking of the hand.能够通过热情的握手来欢迎人们。
· To be able to speak to visitors in a charming and meaningful way能够富有魅力而有意义地与他人交谈。
· In competitions or sport - being able to win or lose with good grace and understand the meaning of fair play.在比赛或运动中，能够优雅地面对输赢，并理解公平竞争的含义。
Developing interests发展兴趣
Our extensive co-curricular program is underpinned by the aspiration of wanting each student to discover a hobby or interest which they have a passion for and one in which their skills and potential are maximized. For a student, ‘being good in a given subject or activity,’ develops a sense of confidence and self-worth which is a key for successful learning.
我们广泛的课外活动以每个学生的兴趣为基础，发现他们的爱好，以及他们的技能和潜力被更大化。对于一个学生来说，“在设计好的学科或活动中表现出色”会发展出一种自信和自我认同感，这是学习成功的关键。
Moreover, we wish our students to be ambitious; we want each and everyone to have dreams at being the very best; if a MIS student loves playing the violin - start a journey in which they can be the very best they can be. Similarly, if a student is fascinated by Lego; empower them with the ambition to be the best student Lego constructor in Shenzhen and then the world!
此外，我们希望我们的学生志存高远。每个人都有远大的梦想：如果学生喜欢拉小提琴 ，他们可以努力成为优异的小提琴家。如果学生对乐高很着迷，他们可以立志成为深圳乃至世界好的乐高建设者!
With the right encouragement and direction, the higher a student aims, invariably, the more they will achieve.
在正确的鼓励和指导下，学生的目标越高，他们就会取得更卓越的成就。
Developing leadership发展领导力
We strongly believe in encouraging students to fully use their creative capacities.
At MIS Shekou, we are different than most other schools both in Shenzhen and internationally, because we truly believe in developing leadership and giving our primary students areas of responsibility. 我们鼓励学生充分发挥他们的创造力。在曼校蛇口校区，我们与深圳和国际上的许多学校都不同，因为我们深信培养小学生领导力及责任心的重要性。
By the age of 11, all of our primary pupils will have developed in the following ways:
我们的学生到11岁时，都将在以下方面得到发展：
· They all will have spoken in front of a public audience and within a formal setting. 他们都将在公众面前和正式场合发言或演说。There are few greater joys than seeing a ‘nervous’ student overcome their fears and deliver a speech in a public setting. The key element here is that they know that the school believes in them; opportunities are not confined to just the very best public speakers - the ability to communicate is central to becoming a global citizen and this skill is nourished for all.没有什么比一名“紧张”的学生克服恐惧，并在公共场合自如地发表演讲更令人高兴的事情了。这里的关键因素是学生们知道学校相信他们;机会不仅仅局限于优异的公众演说家——沟通能力是成为全球公民的核心，这项技能是所有人都需要培养的。沟通能力是成为全球公民的核心技能之一，这种技能对所有人来说都是一种滋养。
· Within co-curricular activities and clubs, each student will be given a leadership responsibility.They will use this to guide the younger children and to help ensure that their club or activity continues to evolve.在课外活动和俱乐部中，每个学生都将被赋予领导责任。他们将以此来指导年幼的孩子，并帮助确认他们的俱乐部或活动继续发展。Students will be actively involved and engaged in any school event; designing the programme, welcoming any guests and being role models for their school.学生将积极参与任何学校活动;设计活动、欢迎任何参与者，并成为学校的榜样。
· We wish our students to be on a continuous pathway of discovery and exploration; to be inquisitive about the world they live in; to grow in intellectual curiosity and to widen their appreciation of both musical and artistic spheres. 我们希望我们的学生能够不断地发现和探索;对他们生活的世界充满好奇;在求知欲中成长，并扩大他们对音乐和艺术领域的欣赏。
