On a spring morning, golden ripples shimmered across the lake at Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) as a familiar figure reappeared on campus—2010 Korean alumnus Hong Gi-bong, accompanied by his parents, returning to the place that witnessed his youth. Walking past the weathered basketball court, his gaze lingered on a familiar classroom. Time seemed to reverse: the boy who once buried himself in the library and poured sweat onto the court had blossomed into a rising star in Hong Kong’s financial world.
March 1st, Under the crystal-blue skies of Guangzhou, Utahloy’s two campuses (UISG and UISZ) transformed into a global village. Over 100 families from more than 40 countries wove through sun-dappled lawns and sports fields—toddlers chasing bubbles, high schoolers coding robots at tech booths, and parents exchanging greetings in English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Spanish. No grand slogans here, just the authentic hum of cross-cultural connection. As the IB philosophy reminds us: “Education is not the filling of a vessel, but the kindling of a flame.”
