School Update
Back-to-School Events 2025 Secondary School
This year, the Secondary School introduced a new structure
for our Back-to-School events to enhance communication and provide parents with a clearer and more meaningful understanding of their child’s learning program. Instead of brief classroom visits, we organized separate information sessions led by the administrative and pedagogical leadership teams. These sessions were tailored for each grade-level cluster: Grade 6, Grades 7-8, Grade 9, Grade 10, and the DP Grades 11-12, and were held from September 15-19, 2025. The focus was to share important updates, curriculum developments, and key expectations aligned with the IB MYP and DP frameworks. To complement these general sessions, we also offered a series of parent coffee meetings before the October break. These focused on specific learning areas, including sciences, arts, mathematics, languages, and college counseling. Through these smaller, topic-centered gatherings, parents gained deeper insight into our teaching approaches, assessment practices, and program pathways. Together, these events highlighted how the Secondary School works collaboratively across departments to support wholechild development. By sharing both cross-grade structures and subject-specific practices, we aim to strengthen the partnership between home and school. We appreciate our parents’ active participation and look forward to continued engagement throughout the year. Ms. Min Li MYP Principal
