美國合作高中校長Keane博士的一封信

 

Dear Dr. Xie,

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to the Wuxi Foreign Language School and I am thrilled that Mr. John Mazza and Mr. Senlin Zhang of Campus Bridge International helped make it happen. On behalf of the Campus Bridge Member School Consortium I have been privileged to visit many schools in the United States and throughout Asia. I have also headed various accrediting teams on behalf of the New England Association of Secondary Schools and the Christian Brothers Institute of North America.

Please know that I was enormously impressed by what I observed at the WXFLS.

Your supportive parents, welcoming teachers, and highly-trained administrators have a great deal to be thankful for. Everywhere I turned I saw students engaged in learning and teachers skillfully using a wide-range of teaching methodologies. It is no wonder that the students who graduate from the Campus Bridge Ivy Class matriculate to first-rate high schools in the United States with solid English writing and conversational skills and with strong preparation in math and the sciences.

The new WXFLS campus is absolutely beautiful! I was there one year ago while it was still under construction. I applaud its design and the care that you yourself have this facility. You have attended to each and every detail. You are creating an academic culture of excellence with state-of-the art resources.

The special partnership that Campus Bridge has helped cultivate between the WXFLS and my own school, Catholic Memorial School in Boston, has helped us forge new ground in the area of global education. Both of our schools are realizing the educational benefits of sharing resources and expertise and I look forward to increasing and enhancing those efforts in the future.

Catholic Memorial School prepared my own brother, Tom, and Mr. Mazza of Campus Bridge to go to Harvard. It prepared me to go on to Yale University. I am convinced that such opportunities await the best and brightest students from the WXFLS who benefit from the Ivy Class and matriculate to Campus Bridge Schools in the United States. 

 

Sincerely,

James P. Keane, B.A., M.Div., M.Ed., Ph.D.

Vice Principal

Catholic Memorial School

 

 

解博士您好！

最近到無錫外國語學(xué)校的訪問讓我非常開心，在此也感謝國際校園橋的約翰瑪査先生和張森林先生促成了此次訪問。作為校園橋合作伙伴學(xué)校的代表，我有幸訪問了美國以及亞洲的多所學(xué)校。另外，我也是新英格蘭中學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)和北美基督教兄弟院校及很多權(quán)威機(jī)構(gòu)的代表。我想讓您知道此次在無錫外國語學(xué)校的所見所聞給我留下了極其深刻的印象。

貴校學(xué)生家長的支持、學(xué)校教師的熱情歡迎、管理人員的素養(yǎng)都讓我心懷感激。處處可見學(xué)生在專心致志的學(xué)習(xí)，老師熟練地運(yùn)用各種不同的教學(xué)方法在上課。難怪畢業(yè)于常春藤國際班的學(xué)生進(jìn)入美國一流高中以后能展現(xiàn)那么扎實(shí)的英語寫作技能和會(huì)話能力以及數(shù)學(xué)和理科上良好的功底。

無錫外國語學(xué)校新校區(qū)非常漂亮！一年前我來到學(xué)校的時(shí)候還在施工。我很欣賞學(xué)校的建筑設(shè)計(jì)以及您在建設(shè)中付出的心思。您參與了學(xué)校設(shè)計(jì)建造中的各個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。您正在用最先進(jìn)的教育資源為學(xué)生們創(chuàng)建一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的學(xué)術(shù)文化氛圍。

校園橋幫助無錫外國語學(xué)校和我校（波士頓天主教紀(jì)念學(xué)校）建立了特殊的伙伴關(guān)系，幫助我們打造了一個(gè)全球教育領(lǐng)域的新天地。我們兩所學(xué)校都認(rèn)識(shí)到了資源和經(jīng)驗(yàn)共享的優(yōu)勢(shì)所在, 我期待在未來能夠增加和提高在這些方面的合作。

我的弟弟湯姆和校園橋的約翰瑪査先生都曾就讀于天主教紀(jì)念學(xué)校，他們都考上了哈佛，我也畢業(yè)于這所學(xué)校，然后考進(jìn)了耶魯大學(xué)。我相信,這樣的機(jī)會(huì)正等待著那些受益于外國語國際班的、被校園橋合作高中錄取的最好的最聰明的學(xué)生們。
