如广大家长及学生所熟知，中山阿丁莱承袭全球IB混校排名前10英国阿丁莱学院的教育基因，旨在为中山及粤港澳大湾区学子提供面向未来的全人教育。

为了让大家能更清晰地了解中山阿丁莱与英国阿丁莱学院多维度的合作，我们特邀英国阿丁莱学院的核心团队以其第一视角，全方位分享其中奥秘，我们将通过系列文章深入展示双方的合作点滴。在此，我们由衷感谢英国阿丁莱学院的鼎力支持，如下是其带来的首次问候。

来自英国阿丁莱学院的问候

非常荣幸，我们共同见证了中山阿丁莱各领域的飞速成长，并为英国阿丁莱学院和中山阿丁莱紧密的合作而感到欣喜。随着2022年秋季中山市阿丁莱幼儿园的开学，以及其他学段也即将迎来盛大启航，如今我们对于它的期待更是溢于言表。

我们尤为自豪能与中山阿丁莱这样一所优秀的学府保持密切的合作，共同致力于为中国新生代提供优质教育，并帮助他们如同英国阿丁莱学子一般，充分具备全球胜任力。

在分享之初，请容许我们对英国阿丁莱学院的起源和历史进行简要分享。

1858年，英国阿丁莱学院始建于英国南海岸布莱顿附近的雪尔汉滨海（Shoreham-by-sea），其由教育家Canon Nathaniel Woodard创立。1864年7月12日，极具阿丁莱代表性的宏伟红砖主楼，在临近西萨塞克斯郡中部海沃兹希思镇的阿丁莱村正式完成奠基。

作为阿丁莱最为经典的象征，传说中的鹈鹕以自己的血来饲养幼子，寓意牺牲自我的崇高奉献精神。而阿丁莱正是将其作为核心价值观，如同在中国我们对于老师的比喻：春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。

随着时间的迁移，阿丁莱学院在2001年迎来了其中一个最为重要的教育变革，其正式引入了IBDP和A-Levels课程体系。这一举措，如同我们期待般彰显了学院的国际化思维，并对其发展成为阿丁莱国际学校这一大家庭提供了强有力的支持。

全球胜利力项目，是阿丁莱学院长期以来赋能及改变孩子生活的独特途经。其旨在鼓励孩子们关心他们身处的世界，使他们能够获得未来核心素养，成为富有合作能力和韧性的学习者。

阿丁莱独树一帜的全球胜任力项目

2020年，英国阿丁莱学院与中山阿丁莱的教育团队建立了牢固的战略合作关系，并为其在教育愿景和精神、学校的建造、市场与品牌的建设以及核心团队的搭建提供全方位支持。

双方正式签约

作为阿丁莱教育的一段重要传承和创新，我们与中山阿丁莱的合作也远不于此。在下篇文章中，我们将为您带来更多真实的示例，分享英国阿丁莱学院如何与中山阿丁莱开展紧密的合作，以及我们如何为中山阿丁莱的教育持续赋能。

We would like to expressour sincere gratitudeto Ardingly College, UK for their support,and their comments as detailed below.

WELCOME FROM

ARDINGLY COLLEGE, UK

We are delighted by the progress being shown in all aspects of Ardingly College Zhongshan and are excited by the growing partnership between Ardingly College, UK and Ardingly College Zhongshan. As the ACZS(Kindergarten) opened in September 2022 we look to the future development of the rest of the campus with excitement as we near the grand opening of the rest of the school.

Ardingly College Zhongshan is a truly amazing school and we are very proud to be working closely with the team to ensure that an excellent quality of education is provided to China"s new generations so that they are prepared to be "World Ready" in a similar way to that at ACUK.

Firstly though we"d like to share with you a little about the origins and history of Ardingly College, UK.

Ardingly College was founded at Shoreham-by-sea, in 1858, on the south coast of England near Brighton, by the educationalist Canon Nathaniel Woodard and the foundation stone of our magnificent main red-brick building was laid on 12 July 1864 near Ardingly Village, close to the town of Haywards Heath in Mid Sussex.

The figure of a pelican is the symbol of Ardingly. Legend has it that she would feed her young with her own blood. The Pelican also speaks of making sacrifices for others, something at the heart of Ardingly’s ethos and similar to the Chinese concept that teachers are like candles which use their fuel to enlighten their students.

As time passes, one of the most significant educational changes at Ardingly College was the adoption of the IB Diploma Programme in 2001 alongside A Levels. This contributed significantly to an intentionally international mindset at the college that has served us well as we develop a family of Ardingly International schools.

World Ready education, is theway that can empower and transform children’s lives, which seeks to engage students caring for the world around them, enable them to acquire future core literacy and become collaborative and resilient learners.

World Ready Programme

Since 2020 we have developed a strong relationship with the Ardingly College Zhongshan team, helping to draft and refine theeducational vision and ethos, design of the school, marketing and branding, and recruitment of key staff.

Officially Signed the Agreement

As an important legacy and innovation of Ardingly"s education, our partnership with Ardingly College Zhongshan is much more than that. In our next post we will provide more specific examples of ways in which Ardingly College, UK and Ardingly College Zhongshan have been collaborating and ways in which Ardingly College, UK is adding value to the education students will receive at Ardingly College Zhongshan.
