In 2006, in order to further enhance the market competitiveness, the board of directors of Anhui Mayfair International School put forward the development strategy of "going to a prestigious school". This shows that Meifo 'er is shifting from scale expansion to connotation promotion, and the new leap of the century begins now. In April, 2005, at the third China Private Education Summit Forum, Mr. Lin Shuguang shocked four people with one sentence: The promulgation of the Private Education Promotion Law marked the end of the anarchist era of private education development in China, and a legalized and standardized private education era was about to begin. From the perspective of interpretation, the state and the government have begun to carry out macro-policy regulation on private education, which not only raises the threshold for running schools, regulates school-running behavior, but also cools down the overheated investment in private education industry. The winter of private education is coming, so all private schools should tighten their belts and prepare for the winter. "This assertion aroused strong repercussions among the participants. Two months later, Mayfair landed in Anhui and invested 50 million yuan to establish Anhui Mayfair International School in Bengbu, a major town in northern Anhui. Later, a reporter interviewed Mr. Lin Shuguang in great confusion. "Why on the one hand, judge that the winter of private education is coming, and on the other hand, launch high-profile education investment behavior?" Lin Shuguang said: "For bad capital, the winter of private education has indeed come. Although the investment threshold is high now, there are fewer competitors. As long as you run a school in good faith, this is also an opportunity. " Speaking of this, people, like journalists, generally observe the development of beautiful Buddha in doubt.

● Wan Jin Lixin

In September 2005, at the opening ceremony of Anhui Meifo 'er, Mr. Lin Shuguang said emotionally at the meeting: "Treat others with sincerity, and people will not bully me;" Nothing can be done by being honest about things. Ancient Shang Yang moved wood to establish a letter. Today, our beautiful Buddha is going to set up a letter with Wanjin. "Later, Mr. Lin Shuguang announced the scholarship plan of 200,000 yuan in that year on the spot to encourage all teachers and students to study hard and establish the high-quality brand image of Mayfair Education with excellent results. In the college entrance examination in 2006, 23 repeat students from grade one to grade three in Meifo 'er School handed in a satisfactory answer sheet to the society with an excellent score of 100%. The school held a grand award ceremony to reward outstanding teachers and students, fulfilling the promise of the board of directors at the beginning of its establishment.

● Create integrity.

In 1990s, with the rapid development of local economy, Anhui people's demand for quality education began to become urgent. Some private schools have developed rapidly, but at the same time, some honesty problems have been exposed. People just doubt and criticize private schools. To build a private education brand in such a market, many people are worried about the entrepreneurs of Meifo. Amid all kinds of doubts, Meifoer did four things: first, he founded the credit system and made the quality standards of Meifoer school public; Second, make a quality commitment and accept quality supervision; Third, the teaching and management of the school has always been open to parents, and parents are welcome to come to class or visit the school at any time; Fourthly, the system of home visits should be implemented. The director of enrollment must make home visits to the students in the area under his jurisdiction every semester, and inform the parents of the students' achievements and school performance in time. The implementation of these four things has won the trust of parents, students and society. Social recognition has provided infinite impetus for the development of the beautiful Buddha. In 2006, the school-based training base of Beijing Normal University International Art Exchange Center landed in the United States. In the same year, Meifo 'er passed the acceptance of China Private Education Association, and obtained the certificate of "National Private School" with double guarantees of "keeping integrity @ paying attention to teaching quality". On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2009, Anhui Meifoer International School won the title of "Influential China ● Outstanding Integrity Demonstration Unit in the 9th China Era" in the "China News Person" selection activity organized by China Culture and Art Development Association, Asia-Pacific Economic Times, Influential People Magazine and World Chinese Contemporary Entrepreneurs Association. "Those who govern the world are talents, and those who become talents in the world are education." Anhui Meifo 'er believes that to cultivate future generations with "world vision and China soul", we must adhere to the inheritance of national culture and give consideration to the internationalization of education. Only in this way can education present the most perfect state.

● Strengthen cooperation and exchanges between China and foreign countries.

Anhui Mayfair has established an exchange mechanism with schools in Australia, Canada and other countries since its establishment. Nowadays, inspired by the goal of "going to a prestigious school, being world-class and internationally renowned", Mayfair has gradually become a window school for Anhui's education opening to the outside world and actively participated in international exchange activities. Over the years, the school has built a platform for more teachers and students to study abroad or conduct academic exchanges by exploring the forms of cooperation and exchanges between China and foreign countries. Since 2006, the school has sent 36 teachers to the United States, Australia, Canada and other countries to learn advanced foreign education and teaching concepts. Since 2007, the school has established a sister school relationship with Cofield Middle School in Melbourne, Australia. Every year, 30 students are sent to live in Australian students' families to experience the classes of Australian students. Since 2008, the school has cooperated with the International Education Exchange Association of Anhui Provincial Department of Education to provide high school students with a one-year study opportunity in Australian high schools. By 2009, 65,438+05 people had participated in the program. In 2009, we established academic exchange with British Columbia Middle School in Canada, and sent 25 students to each other for exchange study every year. By building a communication platform, we will create conditions to the maximum extent, so that students can have some time to study and live abroad during their studies.

● Constantly moving towards internationalization.

The development of any school must put a correct question: how to position the school? The beautiful Buddha is also thinking. In the overall framework of school-running philosophy and behavior, American Buddhists have positioned the internationalization of education and formulated a feasible internationalization trend for school-running positioning. Anhui Meifoer set up an international education center, integrated international resources of education, improved the implementation system, decomposed the content into specific projects and implemented project management. The school will set up a full-time and part-time management team to be responsible for the overall planning of the international education center, the teaching management of cooperative education, the development and implementation of international courses, the construction of teaching staff, the planning, organization and management of international exchange activities, the support of international educational resources, the contact between sister schools, the information technology support of transnational long-distance exchange activities and the information construction of resources. In order to improve the internationalization level of curriculum construction, Anhui Mayfair has made great efforts to strengthen the curriculum construction of English subjects. To popularize oral English in the first grade of primary school, small class teaching should be implemented, the number of students in each class should be strictly controlled within 35, and task-based teaching and activity-based teaching should be advocated. The new curriculum in middle school highlights diversity, openness and selectivity, and independently develops school-based curriculum. In order to improve the internationalization level of teaching staff construction, Anhui Meifo will increase the introduction of foreign teachers and increase the number of foreign English teachers; English teachers are required not only to have the professional quality of their own subject, but also to have the ability of cross-border communication and understanding and the knowledge quality of science and humanities, and to be competent in bilingual teaching; It is necessary to introduce minority language teachers, focusing on the introduction and training of subject teachers who are not English majors. It is also necessary to create more opportunities for teachers to go abroad for training, and organize teachers to participate in transnational exchanges and training through distance education. The internationalization of school education is a long-term systematic project, which cannot be accomplished overnight. American Buddhists adopt the strategy of "overall planning, step-by-step implementation and overall promotion" and strive to fully realize internationalization in curriculum construction, teacher construction and student exchange activities in five years. Mr. Lin Shuguang once explained competition as follows: "Competition is not the competition for the first place, but it becomes different and more unique through competition". The competition of school status includes the competition of school hardware facilities, school academic status, teaching quality, market share and reputation. Behind the status competition is the competition of quality, strength and benefit, which is the highest embodiment of the school's comprehensive ability. When it comes to the cultivation of talents, President Liu Tianhua is even more amazing: "The lion must run faster than the antelope, otherwise it will only starve to death; The antelope must run faster than the lion, otherwise it will only be eaten by the lion. Nature relies on the law of competition to stimulate the potential of species. People, too, are born in sorrow and die in happiness. The best way for schools to train outstanding talents is to create various competitive opportunities and platforms to compete with others. " Since 2007, Anhui Meifo 'er began to select the star of campus administration every week. The content of evaluation is the work that cadres do in a week. Whoever does a good job and is the best will be praised at the weekly administrative meeting, and will sit on the honorary seat of campus star and the last honorary list of campus star. At the end of the term, the quality of cadres is judged by the number of campus stars. Such open and fair competition has completely changed the concept of cadres. Not only do we do things seriously, but we all strive to be advanced. There are many kinds of flowers, and people also have many kinds of personalities. A school is not a factory, so a unified product cannot be copied. Instead, it is necessary to carry out active competition, build various competitive platforms and cultivate talents in various opportunities. According to this talent strategy, the school carefully designed around the two main lines of education and teaching, and carried out a series of competitions such as campus reading star, campus etiquette star, learning star, learning progress star, English star, art star, science and technology star, and campus teacher selection activity, which effectively promoted the personality development of campus teachers and students. At present, Mayfair has built a team of teachers with moderate scale, reasonable structure and good quality. The fourth cornerstone: taking culture as an outstanding force, a harmonious campus should be the unity of explicit culture and implicit culture. The simple and elegant, natural and solemn, quiet and agile campus environment is the material basis and inevitable requirement for implementing education, which can enhance people's nobility with elegant environment and promote good education with beautiful atmosphere. Every grass, tree, brick, tile, wall and room in the school can become the elements of the dominant culture and be endowed with educational functions. Therefore, Anhui Meifo 'er attached importance to the construction of campus culture at the beginning of its establishment and put forward the humanized slogan of "Happy Learning and Happy Growth". Based on "material culture", with "spiritual culture" as the core, with "institutional culture" as the guide and a series of campus "cultural festivals" as the main line, the school has created a good material and spiritual environment, forming a "campus culture" with the personality characteristics of Anhui Meifo International School, making the school a spiritual paradise for students to grow up harmoniously.

● Strive to create a campus cultural atmosphere.

"Material culture" is a tangible part of "campus culture". Anhui Mayfair International School has a reasonable layout and complete facilities. The teaching buildings and activity places are arranged in an orderly way, and portraits of world celebrities and inspiring slogans are hung next to the walkways of each building; In the "water park" on campus, all kinds of fish churn up and down, and rockeries and pavilions are scattered; The school performance display of the stormy playground and the student performance exhibition hall (students' paintings and calligraphy works) complement each other; Famous sayings and statues of celebrities not only inspire people to forge ahead, but also enrich the connotation of campus culture. Natural landscape and human landscape reflect each other and are harmonious and unified. The walls are talking, and the flowers and trees can educate people, which shows the book fragrance and purport of the campus, builds a beautiful and harmonious cultural paradise for the harmonious growth of students and creates an artistic atmosphere of campus culture.

Actively carry out campus cultural activities. In September 2008, Mr. Liu Tianhua, the president, initiated and launched a reading festival with "classic reading" as the main body. The school selected "Reading Star" and "Reading Notes" awards, which greatly stimulated the reading interest of students and faculty. To this end, the American Buddha Association regards the "Reading Festival" as a long-term measure to sublimate the soul. In addition, Meifo 'er holds the "Welcome Festival" from June 5438 to February of the following year, and reports the growth process of children to parents in the form of large-scale cultural performances. June is the annual "Pearl Culture Festival", and teachers and students from Bengbu Education Department and neighboring brother schools are invited to have fun together. The two festivals have been well received by all walks of life, providing a platform for students to become talents. As an international school, under the goal of international development, it is the consistent insistence of Meifo 'er to always give consideration to the development of national cultural inheritance. Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other traditional festivals, the school will hold campus cultural activities with the theme of specific festivals to enhance students' love for traditional culture. Meifo 'er regularly holds "Civilization and Etiquette Competition" every semester, and shows students' good behavior of "stressing civilization and understanding etiquette" through activities such as "social etiquette", "campus etiquette", "classroom etiquette" and "restaurant etiquette". In addition, the school will also take the "bonfire party" and "New Year's Day party" on Christmas Eve as the fixed activities of the school to encourage students to actively participate and create a spiritual paradise for students' physical and mental health.

● Let schools become people's spiritual homes.

Lin Shuguang, the chairman of the school, once said that students can't be the only beneficiaries of the school's development, but everyone on campus, including teachers, logistics personnel and the chairman himself. People often live in three worlds: secular world, spiritual world and spiritual world. People pursue fame and fortune in the secular world, and they are jealous. Even if people have the identity of a teacher, I'm afraid they can't avoid customs. The material world is full of pain. The pain caused by secular conflicts needs a gentle and affectionate spiritual world to soothe. The heavy teaching burden every day requires the understanding of leaders; The contradiction with students needs the help of leaders; When you encounter difficulties in your work, you need the care and encouragement of your colleagues. Sometimes, people are really fragile. Therefore, the school must create a culture, so that people on campus can learn to praise each other, care for each other and get spiritual comfort from each other. The spiritual world is the world of faith, the spiritual salvation of people in infinite confusion, and the core of people's spirit and value. Measuring the development of people's quality of life and happiness mainly depends on whether people can live freely, freely and contentedly in these three worlds. Therefore, the school that best conforms to the ideal of human nature is to realize everyone's personal value. The humanity of the chairman is to maximize personal value. In particular, it is necessary to help teachers realize their own life value, respect their own life value and be willing to realize their own value on their own initiative. More importantly, under the general conditions that are not conducive to the realization of personal value, teachers should learn to face the pressure and be good at adjusting the relationship with the external environment, so as to achieve the state of integration of self-value and school value. It is under the guidance of such a cultural thought that Anhui Mayfair International School is like a huge ship sailing, full of dreams and heading for the other side of the ideal. Morality and wealth, learning and wealth, great talent, full of ethics. This is not only the standard of cultivating talents, but also the requirement for those who cultivate talents. The hatch of this great ship, Anhui Meifoer International School, is always open to all educational talents in the world. Welcome to join us.
