What is success?

什么是成功?

This question drives us in a process of discovery that eschews conventional competition and creates space for original, authentic discovery. SHBS inspires self-awareness that empowers students’ confidence and their ability to share their growth in meaningful ways—to distinguish themselves in the stories they’re able to tell about their unique experiences, their individual perceptiveness, and the ways they’ve built relationships that are mutually enriching.

对这个问题的思考促使我们在探索和发现的过程中摒弃传统的竞争，为原创的、真实的发现创造空间。宏润博源能够激发和培养学生的自我意识，增强学生的自信心和能力，赋能他们以有意义的方式分享自己的成长—他们独特的经历和故事，观点和看法，以及与他人建立互相滋养的关系的方式都会将他们变得与众不同。

In the college advising process, SHBS stands out in how it develops students’ knowledge and understanding of higher education, and their ability to translate their own ambitions in compelling ways—ways that demonstrate an understanding of and connection to their ideal colleges and universities. We allow every student to realize their advantages so that they will have the best and most suitable opportunities possible—be it at a top public research university, an exceptional liberal arts college, an elite Ivy League institution, or a leading arts and design school—and whether in the UK, Canada, US, Japan, Australia, Europe, or elsewhere.

在升学指导的过程中，宏润博源会提升学生对高等教育的认识和理解，以及用有说服力的方式展现自己的渴望和抱负的能力：他们能够展现出对理想大学的深刻认识和理解，以及自己与大学的适配性。我们会帮助每位同学认识到自己的特点和优势，让他们获得最好和最合适的机会--无论是顶尖的公立研究型大学、卓越的文理学院、精英的常春藤盟校，还是领先的艺术和设计学院--无论是在英国、加拿大、美国、日本、澳大利亚、欧洲，还是其它国家和地区。

Here again, questions drive students’ exploration: rather than fall into the traps created by mindlessly following rankings, SHBS students discern what kind of environment will best enrich their future growth—and how they’ll contribute to their new communities. Students have regular and in-depth meetings to discuss their interests, and the college advising team facilitates numerous group activities and forums for students to learn about higher educational institutions and build early connections that lay a foundation for their applications. From dozens of information sessions, panel discussions, and workshops, students gain the capacity to articulate thoughtfully their own why, and to share that in impressive, novel, and inspiring ways. They’re able to craft a realistic, balanced list of schools to which they’ll apply, capitalizing on their advantages and making well-informed, strategic decisions. Students are also provided with extensive support to help with their own writing—finding a voice that will stand out in their personal statements, essays, and other supplemental materials.

问题会驱动学生的探索：宏润博源的学生没有落入盲目追求大学排名而产生的陷阱，而是能清楚辨别什么样的环境能最好地滋养他们未来的成长--以及他们将如何为新的大学社区做贡献。升学团队的老师会定期与学生沟通，帮助他们深度了解自己的兴趣和特点，也会组织许多小组活动和论坛帮助他们了解大学，提前与大学建立联系，为之后的申请做准备。通过几十场信息会议、小组讨论和研讨会，学生有能力深度分享自己选择一所大学的理由，并且能够用让人印象深刻、新颖和鼓舞人心的方式分享这些理由。他们能够利用自己的优势，制定一份现实的、平衡的大学申请列表，做出明智的、有战略性的申请决定。学生在准备申请文书时也会获得很多支持—升学老师会帮助他们在主文书、小文书以及其它补充材料中梳理出一个独特的声音，脱颖而出。

SHBS also invests in providing the best application support possible. We continually work with teachers to help them craft thoughtful and engaging letters of recommendation that capture students’ academic progress in narratives that resonate with college admissions teams. We focus on capturing students’ personalities and performance in honest ways that provide a full impression of who they are as individuals. In turn, SHBS continually engages professional forums and networks for university admissions, advocating for our students and sharing what makes our community unique. This involvement and long-developed expertise further amplifies our school’s place in the international education landscape.

宏润博源投入很多时间，精力和资源为同学们提供最好的申请支持。学校与任课老师一起，为每位同学提供深思熟虑的，能够展现学生个人学术成长故事的推荐信。我们注重展现学生真实的个性和学术表现，呈现出他们作为一个个体的真实且全面的形象。此外，宏润博源也经常参加海外大学招生的专业论坛和社群活动，为我们的学生站台并分享我们学校的独特之处。这种积极参与和长期积累的专业知识进一步增强了我们学校在国际教育领域的地位。

Indeed, SHBS does stand apart in the opportunities it provides: in additional to a robust selection of extracurricular clubs and activities, the School continually seeks to broaden students’ horizons in ways that help them put their own knowledge in context while pushing them to reach beyond their circumstances. Programs like Building Shanghai, a week-long learning experience in which students ask original questions and undertake extensive research off campus, connect them to real-world problems and opportunities. Similarly, our travel and leadership programs within China, and also in India, Italy, and the United States, further broadens students’ horizons and allows them to develop a truly global perspective. Paired with the breadth and depth of our standard academic curriculum, students are able to strengthen a much broader set of skills that amplify and differentiate their scholarly achievement.

事实上，宏润博源确实与众不同，它为学生提供了丰富且独特的机会：在丰富的学生社团和课外活动的基础上，学校还非常重视同学们将所学知识应用于实际的场景中，推动他们发挥超越自身处境的影响力，不断拓展视野。学校会开展丰富的实践类学习活动，比如“建设上海”。“建设上海”是一个为期一周的项目式学习活动，学生提出原创性问题并走出校园进行广泛研究，并将这些问题与现实世界中的问题和机遇联系起来。同样地，我们在中国国内以及印度、意大利和美国的研学项目和领导力项目，也进一步拓展了学生的视野，培养他们具备真正的全球视野。这样的学习实践活动与我们标准学术课程的广度和深度相结合，能够锻炼学生全方位的技能，帮助他们在自己的兴趣领域取得更优异的成绩。

Every one of the offers received by SHBS students comes with its own story, a wonderful and varied reflection of who a student has become, and the great potential they have for the future. Every one of those stories has an authenticity and honesty rooted in our community—in the broad diversity of strengths and capabilities that come together to create genuine education.

宏润博源每一份录取通知书都有自己的故事，反映出每位学子过去的经历，现在成为了怎样的人，以及未来的巨大潜力。每一个故事都是真实和真诚的，这也是根植于我们整个社区血脉里的文化-- 广泛且多样性的力量和能力汇聚在一起，共同创造出真正且真实的教育。

The leadership, the curiosity, the missteps and victories, the empathy and emotion and empowerment, all help our students stand apart as they strive to become their best selves—to continually discover and determine what the best means for them. Rather than succumbing to grades or prizes or awards or scores of conventional points of comparison, students earn a more meaningful, intrinsic understanding of success that provides them with the tools to flourish. That difference does indeed put SHBS graduates in a class by themselves—they can show so much of who they are in such compelling ways—and leads to these fantastic admission offers.

领导力、好奇心、失误和胜利、同理心、情感和赋能，共同帮助我们的学生在追求成为更好的自己的道路上脱颖而出：不断去探索和发现最好的自己究竟意味着什么。学生不再只是囹圄在分数、奖品、奖状或者是传统的与他人的比较之中，而是对成功有了更深刻更有意义的理解，这会助力他们取得更大的成功。这也使得宏润博源的毕业生们脱颖而出--他们能够以让人信服的方式来展现“我是谁”--这也使得他们备受世界名校的青睐。

Congratulations to again to the SHBS Class of 2023, and to our entire community for this wonderful recognition.

再次祝贺宏润博源2023届的同学们，也祝贺我们宏润博源社区荣获如此多的赞誉和认可。
