我們相信，好的教育并不僅僅專注于分數，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習的學生，幫助他們在佛山霍利斯茁壯成長。我們意識到，學習過程中所面臨的適當挑戰能讓學生擁有更強的內驅力。

作為教育者，我們致力于培養學生終身學習的興趣。我們的教學目的是提高學生在學習中的主人翁意識，鼓勵學生自己發現學習的樂趣，而不是簡單地利用填鴨式教育以求通過考試。我們的目標是營造一個自由開放的學習環境，使學生在學習中不懼失敗，敢于挑戰。

預備部

6-10歲（2-6年級）

6-10歲的學生將會加入預備部，由主班老師教授英文、數學、科學、人文、STEM、計算機科學和PSHE等科目。在這階段，班主任將會發揮重要的支持角色，密切關注學生的學術進步、個人成長和社交發展。

助教老師為主班老師提供課堂支持，以及學生關懷。其余學科如西班牙語、中文、藝術、音樂、戲劇、設計與技術、及體育由專科老師教授，為孩子們提供廣泛多樣的學習機會。

預備部采取小班方式進行全英文教學（除中文和其他外語課外），經驗豐富的主班老師和助教能發現和識別每位學生的學習需求，設計個性化的學習支持方案，幫助學生們打下扎實的英文語言基礎。

在英語學習方面，學生們能夠學習由校長Jane Arden女士精心設計的英語語言學習課程（ELL）并獲得校內語言學習支持教師團隊的幫助，從閱讀、寫作、口語和聽力四大方面綜合提高英語水平，從而能夠更加充分參與學校的英式課程。

關鍵階段3

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，培養學生們積極和健康的生活方式對他們的身心健康和社交發展非常關鍵。學校在周一至周五每天提供兩個ECA課時，并每個學期更換ECA項目，給與同學們多元化的選擇。

佛山霍利斯的ECA項目的目標是幫助學生們成為充滿自信且擁有多元技能的年輕人，激勵他們進一步發展自己的興趣和愛好，養成積極健康的生活方式。在ECA項目中，學生們將會培養自己的自信心、獨立性、主動性、創造性和領導力，并有定期的個人和團隊機會展示自己的才華。

ECA項目對學生成長的幫助不只是局限在校內。學生們在課外活動中展現的興趣和愛好可以幫助他們在申請大學時脫穎而出，以及培養和發展可轉移職業技能，甚至獲得相關的實踐經驗，為自己的簡歷增添亮點，提升自己未來的職業前景。

『高質量』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生提供高質量的寄宿體驗，保證學生在一個安全、積極、鼓勵式的環境里健康快樂地成長，讓宿舍成為學生們安心、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，幫助學生在學業、社交、個人品行以及文化認知上全方面地成長，并通過這樣的方式塑造學生們健全的人格，建立自信心。我們希望充分發揮學生的潛能，成為一名未來領導者，有充足的勇氣和信心去面對未來充滿變化與挑戰的世界，并肩負起作為世界公民的責任。

寄宿類型

周寄宿學生能夠節省通勤時間，并將這些時間用于參與由外籍教師輔導的晚自修和宿舍社交活動。

彈性寄宿

彈性寄宿制能為學生提供每周某幾晚或每月寄宿一至兩周的機會。如果學生家長經常性出差，或學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。

Mrs Carolyn Jones

與眾不同的寄宿生活

01/ 課堂之外

佛山霍利斯的寄宿學生在獨立性、適應力及自信心方面將得到顯著提升。得益于完整的學習時間，他們還可享受豐富的課外活動和外籍老師指導的晚自習時間。

02/ 現代化的寄宿設施

當學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。現代化的房間設計確保學生有充足的個人空間以及社交空間，滿足學生的日常需求，讓他們全身心投入學習和生活。

03/ 英式學院制

談起英式學校，不能不提及學院制度，這是英式學校最獨特的地方之一。學院是學校的子單元，每個學生在入學時都會被分配到一個學院。學院制度的主要目的是提供成長關懷和培養社區歸屬感，以及鼓勵良性競爭，并從中發展團隊精神和合作意識。

在佛山霍利斯，四個學院分別分布在四座學生公寓中。學生公寓為寄宿學生提供住宿的同時，也為所有學生提供一系列學習和社交設施。

學院制度涵蓋各類學科及課外活動，包括體育、藝術及各種跨學科活動。通過良性競爭幫助學生更好地投入學習，并鍛煉他們的社交能力。通常情況下，積極參加學院活動的學生也更能夠全身心地投入到學習當中。在整個學年中，我們的學生會參加許多學院活動，包括學院集會、學院運動會、辯論賽和拼寫比賽。高年級組的學生也有機會申請擔任學院隊長，培養自己的領導力和責任感。

10

『家校』緊密聯系，共促美好校園

學校是一個社區，因此，當家庭和學校之間存在牢固的關系時，學校才能在最佳狀態下運作。家長可能不了解學校每天發生的所有事情，但如果他們知道是可以提問并被傾聽，雙方積極的關系就會被建立，進而能支持學生的教育。當學校和家長一同展示出我們的核心價值觀時，相當于向學生強調，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，是學校健康發展的關鍵。

在佛山霍利斯，我們采用多種方式與家長溝通，如直接發郵件、發微信、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術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，認識他們年級組的家長，或者了解學校的課程以及孩子如何適應學校生活。

LEHF Teachers

The quality, experience and commitment of your teacher is the single most important factor in the academic success of any student. We are proud to introduce our colleagues, all of whom are experienced, inspirational and proven in teaching the British curriculum.

Our native-English speaking teaching staff are recruited from leading schools around the world, and bring maturity and dynamism to the classroom. Most hold Masters or PhDs in Education and have, 90 % of whom are British, on average, 15+ years teaching experience.

With smaller class sizes, our students benefit from a highly individualised teaching approach, where each teacher has a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges. Our teachers have the support and resources they need to personalise their teaching to ensure that each student achieves their personal best.

6

British Curriculum

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.

AGES: 11 - 13 (YEAR 7 - 9， Key Stage 3)

Students joining the school at age 11 will follow an engaging and rigorous curriculum that will enable them to develop their own academic interests while providing a broad foundation on which to build. All students from age 11-13 will study English, Mandarin, Mathematics and Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) alongside Humanities (Geography and History) and Technical / Creative Arts (Fine Art, Computing, Drama, Music and Technology). A programme of Personal, Health and Social Education, Physical Education and Tutor Periods will ensure students develop an understanding of health and wellbeing alongside their academic studies.

AGES: 14 - 15 (YEAR 10 - 11，IGCSE /Pre-A Level)

IGCSEs Students from age 14 - 15 will follow a 2-year programme leading to IGCSE qualifications. A compulsory core of English, Mandarin, Mathematics and Science will be complemented by 3 or 4 option choices. Students joining at 15 years old may choose a pre-A Level year of intensive English language preparation.

In addition, they will have a non-examined core programme of Physical Education, Personal, Health and Social Education and Critical Thinking.

AGES: 16 - 18 (YEAR 12 - 13，A Level)

The compulsory core of Physical Education, Personal, Health and Social Education and Critical Thinking will enhance a programme of 3 or 4 A Level subjects.

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.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Designed in collaboration with the school founders, Local Implementation Authority and the appointed Local Design Institute, the concept design of our architects from Scott Brownrigg captures the essence of LEH UK - providing a green, sustainable urban campus, highly engaging learning and living spaces supporting a wide range of academic, sporting and artistic endeavours.

Boarding at LEHF

Home Awayfrom Home

LEH International School Foshan aims to provide a home from home, high-quality boarding experience within a safe, secure, caring, happy and comfortable environment in a positive, trusting and encouraging atmosphere. To promote the development of good character and confidence through the promotion and a healthy balanced lifestyle whilst providing guidance and support enabling students to thrive academically, socially, morally and culturally - to reach their full potential/ to become leaders of the future/ to leave prepared for an everchanging world/ to leave as responsible young adults destined for greatness.

Boarding System

Termly Boarding

Students who board full-time benefit not only from the usual supervised study schedule and weekday activities, but they can also enjoy a selection of weekend opportunities including learning new skills, trips out and many, many more.

Weekly Boarding

Weekly boarding offers our students the opportunity to enjoy boarding life, additional time for evening school and evening events. This option is ideal for those students with a longer commute into school.

Flexi Boarding

Flexi boarding offers students and parents the opportunity of boarding for just a few nights per week or for a week or two each month. This option is ideal if parents travel regularly or for a taste of boarding life at LEH Foshan.

Support Boarding

This option is for ad-hoc boarding, for parents if they are needed to go away on business or international travel. This is a great opportunity for students to sample life as a boarder.

A Professional Boarding Team

Mr Steve Banks

Head of Boarding

Mr Steven Banks, besides his roles as Head of Geography, is also the Head of Boarding at LEH Foshan. He was once the Pastoral and Safeguarding Leader and Assistant Headteacher for 13 years in a UK boarding school and his previous senior leadership roles have provided him with whole school responsibilities including pastoral provision. Over recent years, he had worked in a well-established and successful boarding school in Thailand as Head of Geography and the key worker within the boarding school community.

Mr David Richards

House Parent

Mr Richards has worked previously within international boarding houses; he is looking forward to developing team spirit within the boarding houses.

Mrs Carolyn Jones

House Parent

Mrs Jones is currently completing her Leadership in Boarding certificate with the Boarding School Association, having worked in other international boarding schools, she is looking forward to working at LEH Foshan and helping students on their journey to independence.

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.
