Visiting Chinese Administrators Give SCVi a Thumbs Up

The vice chancellor, international programs director, and international relations director were very impressed by their visit last week. They were particularly happy to see our school’s focus on social-emotional learning, collaboration, and communication – something they say Chinese schools lack greatly. The vice chancellor noted on multiple occasions that these skills, and not necessarily the rote skills and knowledge often taught in China, are what it takes for people to truly create and innovate. He loved our “Learn to Learn” class and wants to implement something similar at his school. He said, “In China, we are preparing every student to be an excellent scientist. At SCVi, you are preparing every student to be an excellent human being – thank you…”
