A Parent’s Perspective: Cowen’s 12 Years at UISZ

At UISZ, we focus not only on students’ academic achievements but also on their comprehensive development. Cowen’s story is a vivid embodiment of this educational philosophy. Over twelve years of campus life, Cowen has grown from a curious child to a confident and responsible young adult. His mother, shared Cowen’s growth journey at UISZ and how the school has profoundly influenced his development.

Reasons for Choosing UISZ

Cowen’s mother recalls that the reason for choosing UISZ was the school’s non-examination, minimal homework, and inquiry-based learning approach, which deeply attracted her. This educational model aligned well with her understanding of children’s learning and development patterns. Although she didn’t know much about the IB curriculum and international education at the time, she firmly believed this was the most suitable educational environment for Cowen.

Sharing Cowen’s Educational Experience at UISZ

During the PYP phase, Cowen faced challenges with language barriers and adapting to a new environment. However, the extra tutoring and encouragement from his teachers helped him quickly overcome language obstacles, laying a solid foundation for future learning. In the MYP phase, Cowen’s motivation to learn significantly increased, with teachers’ attention and encouragement becoming a crucial driving force in his studies. He actively participated in school activities, such as Model United Nations (MUN), which not only honed his leadership skills but also taught him how to handle complex tasks.

Entering the DP phase, Cowen received help from all his teachers, who also provided substantial psychological and spiritual support. Despite the busy and stressful DP phase, Cowen successfully completed his studies under the patient guidance of his teachers.

Cowen’s mother also mentioned that as a Chinese family, they naturally integrated their national culture into their lives, which balanced well with the school’s international education and multiculturalism. She is full of expectations for the international education at UISZ and has offered valuable suggestions, such as strengthening the science foundation in the MYP phase to better connect with the DP curriculum.

The Best Activities at UISZ

UISZ provides many unique learning opportunities for children, such as organizing the Spring Festival celebration, MUN, International Day, and other activities that have honed the children’s leadership skills and the ability to handle complex tasks. Activities like personal achievement presentations and career fairs have taught children to delve deeply into topics, accept feedback and make improvements, and fully express their views.

Cowen’s story is far from over. He not only achieved an outstanding score of 40 in the IB DP exam but also received admission offers from several top universities worldwide.

We look forward to his continued brilliant achievements in the future and send him our sincerest message as he is about to enter university life: Take care of yourself, care for others, fear no difficulties, and be free.

Cowen’s success is a strong testament to the quality of education at the school and the best reward for the students’ hard work. We are incredibly proud of Cowen’s achievements and look forward to his continued shining in his future academic journey.

选择UISZ就读的原因

Cowen的母亲回忆说，当初选择UISZ，是因为学校不应试、少量作业、探究式的学习方式深深吸引了她。这种教育模式与她对儿童学习发展规律的认知非常契合。尽管当时对IB课程和国际教育了解不多，但她坚信这是最适合Cowen的教育环境。
