『超強』師資實力
教師的資質(zhì)、經(jīng)驗和對教育事業(yè)的奉獻是學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)成功的重要因素。在佛山霍利斯,我們擁有一個讓我們引以為傲的教師團隊,他們在英式國際課程教學(xué)方面經(jīng)驗豐富,擅于啟發(fā)學(xué)生,過往教學(xué)成績斐然。

英式課程體系
在佛山霍利斯,我們所有的課程教學(xué),生活關(guān)懷和課外活動都旨在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生獲得成功所需的技能,知識和特質(zhì)。
我們相信,好的教育并不僅僅專注于分?jǐn)?shù),出色的考試成績只是它的附屬品。我們尋找滿懷好奇心和熱愛學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生,幫助他們在佛山霍利斯茁壯成長。我們意識到,學(xué)習(xí)過程中所面臨的適當(dāng)挑戰(zhàn)能讓學(xué)生擁有更強的內(nèi)驅(qū)力。
作為教育者,我們致力于培養(yǎng)學(xué)生終身學(xué)習(xí)的興趣。我們的教學(xué)目的是提高學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中的主人翁意識,鼓勵學(xué)生自己發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)習(xí)的樂趣,而不是簡單地利用填鴨式教育以求通過考試。我們的目標(biāo)是營造一個自由開放的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境,使學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中不懼失敗,敢于挑戰(zhàn)。
預(yù)備部

關(guān)鍵階段3
11-13歲(7-9 年級)
11-13歲的學(xué)生將接受互動性強而又嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)恼n程,這將使他們能夠發(fā)展自己的學(xué)術(shù)興趣,同時也為他們提供一個堅實的學(xué)術(shù)基礎(chǔ)。學(xué)生將學(xué)習(xí)英語、中文、數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué) (生物、化學(xué)和物理),同時也將學(xué)習(xí)人文科學(xué)(地理和歷史)及科技和創(chuàng)意藝術(shù) (美術(shù)、計算機科學(xué)、戲劇、音樂和設(shè)計與技術(shù))。完整課程也包括個人德育、健康、社會公民教育和體育,這些課程將確保學(xué)生進行學(xué)術(shù)學(xué)習(xí)的同時,也能培養(yǎng)他們對健康及幸福的理解。
IGCSE、A Level 預(yù)科階段
14-15歲 (10-11年級)
年齡為14-15歲的學(xué)生將接受為期2年的課程以獲得IGCSE資格證書。除英語、中文、數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)這些必修課之外,學(xué)生需選擇修讀另外3或4門學(xué)科。15歲加入霍利斯的學(xué)生可以選擇 A Level 預(yù)科課程。

每日課外活動(ECA)
在佛山霍利斯,ECA項目是必修課程之一,這是因為我們堅信,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生們積極和健康的生活方式對他們的身心健康和社交發(fā)展非常關(guān)鍵。學(xué)校在周一至周五每天提供兩個ECA課時,并每個學(xué)期更換ECA項目,給與同學(xué)們多元化的選擇。
佛山霍利斯的ECA項目的目標(biāo)是幫助學(xué)生們成為充滿自信且擁有多元技能的年輕人,激勵他們進一步發(fā)展自己的興趣和愛好,養(yǎng)成積極健康的生活方式。在ECA項目中,學(xué)生們將會培養(yǎng)自己的自信心、獨立性、主動性、創(chuàng)造性和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力,并有定期的個人和團隊機會展示自己的才華。
ECA項目對學(xué)生成長的幫助不只是局限在校內(nèi)。學(xué)生們在課外活動中展現(xiàn)的興趣和愛好可以幫助他們在申請大學(xué)時脫穎而出,以及培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展可轉(zhuǎn)移職業(yè)技能,甚至獲得相關(guān)的實踐經(jīng)驗,為自己的簡歷增添亮點,提升自己未來的職業(yè)前景。

『高質(zhì)量』寄宿體驗
收獲成長的“第二個家”
佛山霍利斯的寄宿項目旨在為學(xué)生提供高質(zhì)量的寄宿體驗,保證學(xué)生在一個安全、積極、鼓勵式的環(huán)境里健康快樂地成長,讓宿舍成為學(xué)生們安心、舒適的另一個家。全人教育理念始終貫穿于佛山霍利斯的寄宿生活,我們提倡一個健康、平衡的生活方式,幫助學(xué)生在學(xué)業(yè)、社交、個人品行以及文化認(rèn)知上全方面地成長,并通過這樣的方式塑造學(xué)生們健全的人格,建立自信心。我們希望充分發(fā)揮學(xué)生的潛能,成為一名未來領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,有充足的勇氣和信心去面對未來充滿變化與挑戰(zhàn)的世界,并肩負起作為世界公民的責(zé)任。
寄宿類型
學(xué)期寄宿
學(xué)期寄宿學(xué)生除了能夠充分得益于教學(xué)日晚上的外籍教師輔導(dǎo)的自習(xí)環(huán)節(jié),還能在周末時間組隊學(xué)習(xí)新技能、參加外出郊游等活動。
周寄宿
周寄宿學(xué)生能夠節(jié)省通勤時間,并將這些時間用于參與由外籍教師輔導(dǎo)的晚自修和宿舍社交活動。
彈性寄宿
彈性寄宿制能為學(xué)生提供每周某幾晚或每月寄宿一至兩周的機會。如果學(xué)生家長經(jīng)常性出差,或?qū)W生想體驗一下佛山霍利斯的寄宿生活,這是一個很好的機會。
臨時寄宿
學(xué)校還提供臨時性寄宿選項,如果父母需要臨時性出差或出國旅行,可以申請臨時寄宿,體驗寄宿生活。
專業(yè)寄宿團隊
Mr Steve Banks
寄宿部主任
Steve Banks 先生是我校的寄宿部主任以及地理學(xué)科主任。他曾在英國一所寄宿學(xué)校擔(dān)任學(xué)生關(guān)懷和兒童保護負責(zé)人及助理校長職務(wù)長達13年,負責(zé)管理全校的學(xué)生關(guān)懷事務(wù)。
Mr David Richards

與眾不同的寄宿生活
01/ 課堂之外
佛山霍利斯的寄宿學(xué)生在獨立性、適應(yīng)力及自信心方面將得到顯著提升。得益于完整的學(xué)習(xí)時間,他們還可享受豐富的課外活動和外籍老師指導(dǎo)的晚自習(xí)時間。
02/ 現(xiàn)代化的寄宿設(shè)施
當(dāng)學(xué)生們選擇加入佛山霍利斯的寄宿項目,他們將會和同齡伙伴共住一個套間。現(xiàn)代化的房間設(shè)計確保學(xué)生有充足的個人空間以及社交空間,滿足學(xué)生的日常需求,讓他們?nèi)硇耐度雽W(xué)習(xí)和生活。
03/ 英式學(xué)院制
談起英式學(xué)校,不能不提及學(xué)院制度,這是英式學(xué)校最獨特的地方之一。學(xué)院是學(xué)校的子單元,每個學(xué)生在入學(xué)時都會被分配到一個學(xué)院。學(xué)院制度的主要目的是提供成長關(guān)懷和培養(yǎng)社區(qū)歸屬感,以及鼓勵良性競爭,并從中發(fā)展團隊精神和合作意識。
在佛山霍利斯,四個學(xué)院分別分布在四座學(xué)生公寓中。學(xué)生公寓為寄宿學(xué)生提供住宿的同時,也為所有學(xué)生提供一系列學(xué)習(xí)和社交設(shè)施。
學(xué)院制度涵蓋各類學(xué)科及課外活動,包括體育、藝術(shù)及各種跨學(xué)科活動。通過良性競爭幫助學(xué)生更好地投入學(xué)習(xí),并鍛煉他們的社交能力。通常情況下,積極參加學(xué)院活動的學(xué)生也更能夠全身心地投入到學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)中。在整個學(xué)年中,我們的學(xué)生會參加許多學(xué)院活動,包括學(xué)院集會、學(xué)院運動會、辯論賽和拼寫比賽。高年級組的學(xué)生也有機會申請擔(dān)任學(xué)院隊長,培養(yǎng)自己的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力和責(zé)任感。

『家校』緊密聯(lián)系,共促美好校園
學(xué)校是一個社區(qū),因此,當(dāng)家庭和學(xué)校之間存在牢固的關(guān)系時,學(xué)校才能在最佳狀態(tài)下運作。家長可能不了解學(xué)校每天發(fā)生的所有事情,但如果他們知道是可以提問并被傾聽,雙方積極的關(guān)系就會被建立,進而能支持學(xué)生的教育。當(dāng)學(xué)校和家長一同展示出我們的核心價值觀時,相當(dāng)于向?qū)W生強調(diào),他們的父母和老師是值得信賴的榜樣。
傾聽家長的反饋,解決他們可能存在的任何疑慮,是學(xué)校健康發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵。
在佛山霍利斯,我們采用多種方式與家長溝通,如直接發(fā)郵件、發(fā)微信、定期舉辦研討會、講座和家長茶話會等,這些都是每周一次的安排。來自特定年級組的家長可以與校長和學(xué)術(shù)團隊的其他成員會面,討論他們孩子的進步,討論IGCSE課程選擇等熱門話題,認(rèn)識他們年級組的家長,或者了解學(xué)校的課程以及孩子如何適應(yīng)學(xué)校生活。

At LEH Foshan all our teaching, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities are designed to ensure that students are equipped with the skills, knowledge and attributes required for life in the 21st century.
We believe in giving students an education where excellent exam results are a by-product of that education, rather than being the central focus. We look for students with an intellectual curiosity and a love of learning which we aim to foster throughout their time at LEH. We realise that motivating students comes from the appropriate level of challenge being given in their learning.
Our role as educators is to develop a lifelong love of learning. As a result, teachers aim to develop the students" ownership of their own learning. Students are encouraged to discovers things for themselves, rather than simply being “spoon fed” to pass an examination. Our aim is to create a learning environment in all classes where students are ready to respond to questions even when they do not know the answer and are prepared to take risks in their learning.
AGES: 6 – 10 (YEAR 2 – 6, Prep School)
In the Prep School, the curriculum offers our students a wide range of learning experiences taught by our class teachers in English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, STEM, Computer Science and PSHE. In the Prep School, Class Teachers play a key role in supporting each student and closely monitor academic, personal and social development.
Each Class teacher is supported by teaching assistants, not only in classroom teaching but also in pastoral guidance. There are also subjects of Spanish, Chinese, Art, Music, Drama, Design and Technology, and Sports delivered by specialist teachers to enhance the students’ learning opportunities.
In the Prep School, all lessons will be conducted in English (except Chinese and foreign language lessons). Small-size classes ensure that each teacher can gain a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges and design highly individual learning plans for them. Students will be able to take advantage from the plan and improve their English skills for future study.
Students will also benefit from the English Language Learning (ELL) Programme carefully designed by the Headteacher Mrs Jane Arden and with the support from the in-house English Language Acquisition team this helps develop their holistic language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. This allows them to fully engage in the school’s British Curriculum.

Daily Extra-Curricular Activities
ECAs at LEH Foshan is mandatory as we believe developing an active, healthy lifestyle is key to supporting physical, social and emotional health and wellbeing. We offer ECAs 2 sessions per day, from Monday to Friday including a wide range of activities and we change them termly.
The overarching ethos of the ECA programme at LEH is to support students to develop into young adults that have the confidence and skills to further pursue activities they enjoy as part of an active, healthy lifestyle. It is also designed to encourage confidence, independence, initiative, creativity, and leadership and provide regular opportunities for individual and team performance.
Moreover, the ECA programme can help students reach far beyond the campus. The interests and passions that students develop through these activities will enable them to stand out when they apply to university. ECAs also allows students to develop transferable skills, earn career experience and build their resume, increasing student’s career prospects.

Unique Boarding Life
01/ Beyond the Classroom
Boarding students at LEH Foshan develop a new level of independence, resilience and confidence. As well as benefiting from a full timetable of academic subjects, they also enjoy a strong programme of extra-curricular activities and teacher-supervised Evening School (time in the evening for home learning).
02/ Contemporary Facilities
When students join LEH Foshan, they will share an en suite room with students of the same age. The modern design of the rooms will ensure they have privacy, space to work individually or collaboratively while providing the support and facilities to ensure the students’ need only focus upon their learning.
03/ House System
It is almost impossible to talk about British school without mentioning House system. As one of the most distinguished elements of British schools, the Houses are the subunits of the school, and each student is allocated to one House at the moment of enrolment. A primary purpose of the House System is to provide pastoral care and foster community feeling while the secondary feature is to instil healthy competitions to encourage teamwork and cooperation.
At LEH Foshan, the 4 Houses are split across four distinct buildings within the Campus. The House building provides the living accommodation for boarding students and a range of study and social facilities for both day and boarding students.
The House system is first and foremost inclusive of all learning types and interests. We have sporting, artistic and cross-curricular events. This level of competition can have numerous academic benefits as well as social-emotional. Those who feel comfortable and supported enough to participate in House events are more likely to feel able to commit themselves fully to academia.

Parent-School Communication
A school is a community, and therefore functions best when there is a strong relationship between the family and the school. Parents might not understand everything that happens on a daily basis in a school but if they feel they can ask questions and are listened to, positive relationships are established which support the students’ education. When the school and parents demonstrate our core values, it highlights to the students that their parents and teachers are trusted role models.
Listen to parents’ feedback and address any concerns they might have is key to a school healthy development.
At LEHF, we use a variety of methods to communicate with parents such as direct mails, WeChat posts, regular seminars, workshops and Coffee Afternoons; these are weekly session where parents from a specific year group can meet with the Headteacher and other members of the academic team to discuss their child’s progress and discuss prevalent topics such as IGCSE choices, get to know parents from their year group, or simply learn more about the school programmes and how a child is settling into life at LEHF.
