德州英汉双语学校小学

《写给家长的一封信》

亲爱的家长朋友：

如果您正在为孩子选择一所小学，

那您心里一定也藏着很多真实而复杂的期待：

我们理解——因为我们也是为人父母。

而这所学校，正是为这种“复杂的期待”而诞生的。

这是一所什么样的学校？

这是一所鼓励孩子大胆尝试的学校，

也是一所尊重孩子差异的学校。

这是一所不为考试而学习的学校，

也是一所愿意为好奇心而等待的学校。

这是一所能在知识的海洋里自由畅游的学校，

也是一所不让压力淹没童年的学校。

这是一所用双语学习所有内容的学校，

也是一所用英语，而不是“学英语”的学校。

这是一所相信阅读比刷题重要的学校，

也是一所把理解放在答案之前的学校。

这是一所尊重每个孩子个性的学校，

也是一所不制造标准答案的学校。

这是一所保护孩子独立人格的学校，

也是一所愿意等孩子慢慢成为自己的学校。

关于中考，我们不回避——我们正为它积蓄后劲

是的，我们知道：

许多家长最关心的，

还是孩子小学毕业初中三年后能不能考得好？

能不能考上大家认为的好高中？

能不能拥有一个体面的起点？

我们的回答是——可以，甚至可以更强。

我们的孩子，在小学阶段没有题海、没有排名，

但他们在阅读中积累，在思考中成长，

在英语语文中沉浸式习得，在数学中建立结构感。

很多孩子升入初中后，

英语几乎不需要再学，直接领先；

逻辑表达、阅读理解、学习速度，

数学高度、足足的后劲！

这种后劲甚至可以延续的高中甚至一生。

这不是奇迹，这是自然的生长节奏。

我们不拔苗助长，但我们早早地种下了根系深厚的种子。

不是为了赢在起点，而是为了有力量跑到终点。

我们是一所小学校，但我们做的事很大。

我们只有一百多个孩子，

但每一个孩子，

我们都当作“未来的主人”，而不是“现在的考生”。

我们不是要交出多少小学毕业的高分

我们是想让您看到一个个真实而有生命力的孩子

他们有自己的节奏，有自己的兴趣，

有自己的表达，有自己的方向，

也有足够的能力，面对现实社会的风雨。

亲爱的家长，

如果您也在寻找这样一个地方——

一个不急、不卷、有方向、有信心、有耐心的地方，

我们在这里，等您来。

一所不止关心成绩，更关心成长的学校，

向您和您的孩子，真诚地发出邀请。

欢迎加入我们。

一起为孩子建一所真正属于他们的学校。

鼓励孩子尝试、探索、快乐成长，

也允许、接受孩子平凡的学校。

A Letter to Parents

Dear Parents,

If you are choosing a primary school for your child,
you may have many real and complicated expectations in your heart:

• You want your child to have a happy and carefree childhood.

• You worry about whether they will keep up with middle school and the entrance exams.

• You want them to learn independence, expression, and thinking.

• You are afraid that “no exams and no rankings” will affect their grades.

• You want them to become a complete person.

• But you also have to face a practical and goal-oriented education system.

We understand because we are parents, too.
This school was created to meet these “complex expectations.”

About the Middle School Entrance Exam

We are not avoiding this question — we are preparing for it.

Yes, we know:

What many parents care about the most is whether their child will do well in the middle school entrance exam,
whether they will get into a “good” high school,
and whether they will have a good starting point in life.

Our answer is: Yes, they can, and even do better.
In our school, there is no sea of exercises, no rankings,
but our children grow through reading, thinking, and learning.
They immerse themselves in English and Chinese, and build their math skills.

Many children who enter middle school don’t need to study English much anymore,
and they are already ahead.
They have strong logical thinking, reading comprehension, learning speed, and math skills.

This strength lasts through high school and even beyond.

This is not a miracle; it is the natural rhythm of growth.

We don’t push them too fast, but we plant deep roots early.
We are not trying to win at the starting point,
but we are preparing them to run to the finish line with strength.

We are a small school, but what we do is big.

We only have about 100 children,
but each one of them is treated as the “future owner” of the world, not just as a “student taking exams.”

We are not focused on how many high scores we can get at graduation.
We want you to see real, vibrant children.

They have their own rhythm, their own interests,
their own ways of expressing themselves, their own direction,
and enough ability to face the challenges of the real world.

Dear Parents,
If you are also looking for a place that is calm, not competitive, with direction, confidence, and patience,
we are here waiting for you.

A school that cares not only about grades, but also about growth,
sincerely invites you and your child to join us.

Welcome to join us.
Together, let’s build a school that truly belongs to the children,
where they are encouraged to try, explore, and grow happily,
and where we accept their journey, even if it’s ordinary.
