成长型思维


我们教育理念的核心之一是培养学生的成长型思维。这一理念由著名心理学家 Carol Dweck,她认为智力和能力是可以通过坚持努力以及正确的策略而获得提升的。



因此我们鼓励师生们将挑战视为成长的机会,用“尚未做到(not yet)”来取代“我做不到(I can’t)”的思维方式和心态,并把错误视为学习的一部分。我们引导学生不要将暂时的失败视为阻碍,而应视作进步的契机。通过将“我做不到(I can’t do this)”转变为“我尚未能做到(I can’t do this yet)”,让他们意识到成功的关键在于努力与坚持。这一方法帮助学生学会接受挑战、建立自信,并在学习过程中保持积极性,明白通过勤奋和正确的方法,他们可以不断进步并达成目标。“尚未做到(not yet)”的思维方式也有助于培养学生们对学习的终身热爱,使他们敢于冒险,超越自我,因为他们明白自己的能力和智力是能够提升的。

培养韧性

促进未来成功


在佛山霍利斯,我们认为韧性是一项重要的人生品质。我们深知学生在成长过程中会面临各种挑战,但我们教他们如何适应、恢复,并从中变得更加强大。通过培养问题解决能力、应对压力的技巧和更强的社交能力,学生不仅为学术上的成功做好了准备,更为未来生活奠定了基础。我们的目标是帮助他们建立内在的力量与自信,能够在任何情况下茁壮成长。



我们使用的学习循环框架就是培养韧性的有力工具。通过预习、上课、复习、学习和评估五个阶段,学生能够形成结构化、可持续的学习习惯。这一持续过程确保学生始终积极投入学习,独立回顾自己的进展,并有效管理学习。通过定期复习与专注的学习环节,学生将学习任务分解为可管理的步骤,借助持续的努力培养出韧性,最终为应对学术挑战并发展终身学习技能做好准备。

在培养韧性过程中,我们注重表扬学生的努力过程,而非个人天赋。我们关注他们付出的努力、采用的策略以及坚持不懈的精神,而不是智力和能力等个人属性。我们教导学生理解成长源于辛勤的付出和持续的努力。这种转变使他们愿意接受挑战,并从挫折中学习,认识到失败并不是能力的体现,而是提升的机会。通过强调努力的价值,我们帮助学生培养出即使面临困难也能坚持下去的韧性。

学习元认知

自我管理


我们特别强调元认知,也就是自我意识。这使得学生能够更加独立地学习,能够规划、监控并评估自己的学习进展。



通过教导学生设定SMART目标——具体的(Specific)、可衡量的(Measurable)、可实现的(Attainable)、相关的(Relevant)和有时间限制的(Timely),我们赋予学生掌控自己学习进度的工具。对于自我调节的关注,确保学生不仅在学术上不断进步,也能够在个人成长方面得到持续发展。

协作

是成功的关键


在佛山霍利斯,协作是学生成功的关键。通过合作完成项目和解决问题,学生培养了关键的沟通、领导和团队协作能力。



我们的教室设计也注重促进协作,配备灵活可移动的桌椅、小组学习和活动空间,以及专业的学科设施。这种设计布局鼓励学生间的互动与合作,不仅为学术上的团队协作提供支持,也为未来职业环境中的合作打下基础,帮助学生在未来的职业生涯中成功发展这些至关重要的技能。



全人发展

提供全面教育


在佛山霍利斯,我们秉持全人教育的理念,注重学生的全面发展。我们的8C强调沟通、工匠精神和创造力等核心价值观,同时也保持对传统学术卓越的追求。



在课堂之外,学生还参与多种多样的课外活动,从艺术、体育到领导角色与社区服务,样样俱全。这种丰富的教育经历确保每一位学生都有机会探索自己的兴趣,发展个人才能,成长为自信且能力卓越的个体。

At LEH Foshan, education goes beyond academics—it is about nurturing the whole student. Our philosophy is rooted in creating a supportive and enriching environment where students can thrive intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Guided by a comprehensive Teaching for Learning Policy, we ensure every classroom fosters growth, inclusivity, and challenge, empowering students to reach their fullest potential.


Our teaching framework is driven by five core objectives:

  • Promoting a Growth Mindset

  • Building Resilience

  • Encouraging Metacognition and Self-Regulation

  • Fostering Collaborative Learning

  • Providing a Holistic Education


In this article, we invite our Headteacher Mrs Arden to share more information. Let’s explore how each of these principles shapes our unique approach to teaching and learning.

Embracing a 

Growth Mindset 


Central to our educational philosophy is the promotion of a growth mindset. Developed by renowned psychologist Carol Dweck, the concept emphasises that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, perseverance, and the right strategies.



We encourage both teachers and students to see challenges as opportunities, embrace the idea of “not yet” instead of “I can’t,” and view mistakes as part of the learning process. Instead of thinking they’ve failed or can’t achieve something, students are taught to see these moments as opportunities for growth and learning. By shifting their mindset from “I can’t do this” to “I can’t do this yet,” they understand that effort and perseverance are key to success. This approach helps students embrace resilience, build confidence, and stay motivated, knowing that with hard work and the right strategies, they can improve and reach their goals. The “Not Yet” philosophy also fosters a love for learning, as students become more willing to take risks and push beyond their comfort zones, knowing that their abilities are not set in stone.

Building Resilience

for Lifelong Success


At LEH Foshan, resilience is viewed as a critical life skill. We understand that students will face challenges, but we teach them how to adapt, recover, and grow stronger from these experiences. By developing problem-solving skills, coping mechanisms for stress, and stronger interpersonal relationships, students are better prepared not only for academic success but for life beyond school. Our goal is to help them build the inner strength and confidence they need to thrive in any situation.



One tool we use to build resilience is the Study Cycle framework. It helps students build resilience by developing structured, sustainable study habits through five stages: Preview, Attend Class, Review, Study, and Assess. This continuous process ensures students stay actively engaged, independently review their progress, and manage their learning effectively. Through regular reviews and focused sessions, students break down their learning into manageable steps, fostering resilience through consistency and effort, ultimately preparing them to tackle academic challenges and develop lifelong learning skills.

Praising the process rather than the person is important to building resilience in our students. By focusing on the effort, strategies, and persistence they apply, rather than innate abilities like intelligence, we teach students that growth comes from hard work and perseverance. This shift encourages them to embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and understand that failure is not a reflection of their abilities but an opportunity to improve. By reinforcing the value of effort, we help students develop the resilience they need to keep going, even when faced with difficulties.

Metacognition

and Self-Regulation


We place great emphasis on metacognition, or self-awareness. This enables students to become more independent learners who can plan, monitor, and evaluate their own progress.



By teaching students how to set SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—we give them the tools to take ownership of their learning journey. This focus on self-regulation ensures that our students are equipped with the skills to manage their growth both academically and personally.

Collaboration as 

a Key to Success


At LEH Foshan, collaboration is integral to student success. By working together on projects and problem-solving tasks, students develop essential communication, leadership, and teamwork skills.



Our classrooms are designed to foster this spirit of collaboration, featuring flexible, movable furniture, dedicated group study and activity areas, and subject-specific facilities. This setup encourages interaction and teamwork, preparing students not only for academic collaboration but also for future professional environments where these skills are crucial.



Providing a 

Holistic Education


At LEH Foshan, we take a holistic approach to education, focusing on the development of the whole person. Our 8C framework emphasises core values including communication, craftsmanship, and creativity, alongside traditional academic excellence.



Beyond the classroom, students engage in a wide range of extracurricular activities, from arts and sports to leadership roles and community service. This well-rounded education ensures that every student has the opportunity to explore their passions, develop their talents, and grow into confident, capable individuals.
