24 August 2026 marked the first day of the new academic year at ISA Tianhe. After the quiet of the summer, the campus was once again filled with laughter, footsteps and the vibrant energy of young learners. Returning students walked through the gates with confidence and familiarity, while new families joined our community with excitement and anticipation. Together, they marked the beginning of a journey that is both personal and shared - a journey of inquiry, learning, growth and belonging.
2026年8月24日,爱莎天河新学年第一天。沉寂了一个暑假的校园,再次被笑声、脚步和孩子们蓬勃的朝气填满。老生们带着自信与熟悉感走进校门,新生家庭则怀着期待与憧憬,踏入这个温暖而多元的社区。这一天,不仅是一个学期的开始,更是一段关于探究、成长与归属感的全新旅程。

Welcome to Our Community
欢迎回到我们的社区

At the school gates, our leadership team welcomed every child with warm smiles and personal greetings. Friends reunited with hugs and high-fives, while new classmates introduced themselves. The air was filled not only with the excitement of a new school year, but also with a strong sense of connection - one that lies at the heart of our learning community.
学校大门,学校领导团队用温暖的笑容和真诚的问候迎接每一位孩子。老朋友相拥击掌,新同学带着好奇与勇气彼此介绍。空气中弥漫的不仅是开学的喜悦,更是一种深刻的连接感——这正是爱莎天河作为学习社区最珍贵的底色。




We believe that a child’s sense of belonging begins the moment they feel seen, heard and valued. From the very first day, we intentionally create an inclusive environment where every student, regardless of background, language or culture, can find their place, develop their confidence and discover their voice.
我们相信,孩子的归属感,始于被看见、被倾听、被珍视的那一刻。因此,从第一天起,我们便有意识地营造一个包容的空间——让每一位学生,无论来自何种背景、使用何种语言,都能找到自己的位置,发出自己的声音。








Early Years: Learning Through Wonder
幼儿园:在惊奇中学习

In our Early Years programme, the first week provided a warm and joyful introduction to the new school year. Through songs, movement, stories, sensory exploration and purposeful play, our youngest learners began to explore their environment, build trusting relationships with their teachers and form new friendships.
在幼儿园,开学第一周是一场温柔而快乐的适应之旅。孩子们通过歌曲、律动、故事讲述和感官游戏,慢慢探索新环境,与老师建立信任,并交出了人生中最初的友谊。



Alongside these important first experiences, learning began from day one. Children settled into classroom routines and engaged in age-appropriate phonics, early literacy and mathematics, alongside rich opportunities for language development and inquiry. From listening carefully to sounds and sharing stories to exploring numbers, patterns and concepts through practical experiences, each activity was carefully designed to build strong foundations for future learning.
除了这些重要的初次体验,学习从第一天起就开始了。孩子们逐渐适应了课堂日常,参与了适合其年龄阶段的语音教学、早期读写和数学活动,同时还有丰富的语言发展和探究机会。从仔细聆听声音、分享故事,到通过实践体验探索数字、规律和概念,每一项活动都经过精心设计,为未来的学习奠定坚实基础。



At this stage, inquiry is not simply about finding the right answer; it is about nurturing the curiosity that leads children to ask questions, investigate possibilities and make connections. Every “why?”, every moment of wonder and every new discovery can become the starting point for deeper learning. Through a balance of purposeful teaching, exploration and play, we nurture not only essential knowledge and skills, but also the confidence and curiosity to become lifelong learners.
在这个阶段,探究不在于寻找答案,而在于呵护好奇心。每一个“为什么”,每一次惊奇的停顿,每一次试探性的触碰,都被视为终身学习习惯的萌芽。我们培养的不仅是能力,更是提问、感受和连接的意愿。




Primary: Inquiry That Connects
小学:让学习真正“连”起来

In Primary, learning was well under way from the very first week. Units of Inquiry (UOI), Mathematics, Chinese and language elective lessons began with purpose and clear expectations, creating opportunities for students to make meaningful connections across different areas of learning. Students are encouraged to look beyond the boundaries of individual subjects, explore real-world concepts from different perspectives and apply their knowledge in increasingly thoughtful and meaningful ways.
小学部的课堂,开学第一周便已全面“动”起来。探究单元(UOI)、数学、中文、语言选修课井井有条地开展,构建出真正的跨学科学习体验。学生们跳出单一学科的边界,围绕真实世界的议题,从不同视角汲取养分,将知识内化为整体的理解。






Guided by their teachers, students are already asking purposeful questions, developing hypotheses and testing their ideas through discussion, investigation and hands-on learning. Rather than simply receiving information, they are encouraged to think critically, make connections and take an active role in their learning. This lies at the heart of the IB approach: learning that is relevant, challenging, engaging and connected to the world around us.
在老师的引导下,学生们已经开始提出有意义的问题、形成假设,并通过动手实践验证自己的想法。他们不再是知识的被动接收者,而是意义的主动建构者。这正是IB教育的核心:让学习具有相关性、挑战性,并深深植根于每一个孩子的真实体验。







Living the IB Learner Profile
在实践中践行学习者培养目标

At ISA Tianhe, the IB Learner Profile is far more than a poster on the wall; it is a living framework that shapes how we learn, how we interact with one another and how we grow, both individually and as a community.
在爱莎天河,IB学习者培养目标(Learner Profile)远不止是墙上的标语,而是一套活生生的行为框架——它贯穿于我们的教学方式、人际互动,以及每一位成员的个人成长与共同进步之中。
These attributes are not developed overnight. They are nurtured every day - through thoughtful classroom discussions, collaboration with peers, problem-solving, play and opportunities for reflection. Already, we are seeing our students demonstrate these qualities through their actions, choices and interactions, turning the Learner Profile from a set of ideals into meaningful everyday habits.
这些品质并非一朝一夕所能养成,而是在每一天的点滴中慢慢积淀——通过课堂上的深度对话、操场上的合作游戏,以及独处时的静心反思。我们由衷地欣慰地看到,孩子们正在将这些价值观内化为真实的、日常的行为习惯,而非遥不可及的理念。






A Multicultural Community, A Global Vision
多元文化社区,全球视野


ISA Tianhe is more than a school; it is a warm and inclusive community where children and teachers from diverse cultural backgrounds come together to learn and grow. In just the first week, new connections have already begun to form across classrooms and playgrounds: a shared smile between two children who have just met, a helping hand offered without hesitation, or a conversation sparked by curiosity that develops into a lively exchange of ideas.
International-mindedness grows through these everyday experiences. It is developed not only through what children learn, but also through how they listen to others, appreciate different perspectives and build relationships across languages and cultures.
爱莎天河不止是一所学校,更是一个温暖而包容的社区——在这里,来自不同文化背景的孩子和老师们相聚在一起,学习、生活、共同成长。仅仅开学第一周,教室和操场上便已悄然出现许多新的连接——两个初识的孩子相视而笑,一双主动伸出援手的小手,一次从好奇自然延展成热烈讨论的对话。国际情怀,正是从这些日常瞬间中萌芽——不在书本里,而在我们彼此相处的点滴之中。



Looking Ahead: A Year of Possibility
展望新学期:充满可能的一年

As we begin this new academic year, we are reminded that education at ISA Tianhe encompasses both academic achievement and personal growth. It is about developing character, compassion and courage, while equipping our students with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to succeed.
随着新学年的开始,我们再次意识到,爱莎天河的教育既涵盖学业成就,也关乎个人成长。这不仅是品格的塑造、同理心与勇气的培养,更是为我们的学生提供知识、技能和自信,让他们具备取得成功所需的一切。
Our aim is not simply to prepare students for the next year group, but to establish strong foundations for learning and for life beyond the classroom. Through high expectations, meaningful challenge and appropriate support, we want our students to become resilient learners, thoughtful communicators and confident individuals who are ready to engage with an increasingly interconnected world.
我们的目标不仅仅是帮助学生为升入下一年级做好准备,更是为他们的学习和课堂以外的生活奠定坚实基础。通过高期望、有意义的挑战和适当的支持,我们希望学生成为坚韧的学习者、深思熟虑的沟通者和自信的个体,准备好迎接日益紧密相连的世界。
We will continue to deliver a rigorous, inquiry-driven curriculum within a truly international environment, balancing strong academic foundations with opportunities to question, explore, create and collaborate. Our vision remains clear: to nurture future leaders and pioneers - young people who can respond confidently to change, think independently, contribute positively and approach the future with curiosity and courage.
我们将继续在真正的国际环境中提供严谨、以探究为导向的课程,在坚实的学术基础与提问、探索、创造和协作的机会之间取得平衡。我们的愿景始终清晰:培养规则的更新者和制定者——培养能够自信应对变化、独立思考、积极贡献并以好奇心和勇气面向未来的人。
