How We Nurture The World Shapers of Tomorrow
《我们如何培养未来的世界塑造者》
文 | Craig Wilson
The CATS approach focusses on each young person as an individual, nurturing key analytical, enterprising, and human skills which give them the tools to thrive in life.
剑桥文理学校集团方法（CATS Approach）专注于每位独一无二的年轻人，致力于培养其核心分析能力、进取心和人际关系能力，这能够帮助他们在生活中茁壮成长。
In our schools we are entrusted with moulding the world shapers of tomorrow and as such we ensure that all of our staff understand and are invested in the CATS Approach. This investment is not just exclusive to our teachers. All CATS staff that support our students, from House Parents to Higher Education Advisors play a part in our ‘whole-student’ approach and are just as important in reinforcing our ethos outside of the classroom.
剑桥文理学校集团被赋予了培养未来世界塑造者的重任，因此我们确保所有员工都充分理解并投入到CATS Approach中。这份理解和投入不仅仅局限于教师团队，所有为学生提供支持的员工：从宿舍管理员到高级教育顾问，都在我们的“全面发展学生”的方法中发挥着作用，并且在发扬校园精神方面同样意义重大。
The CATS Approach Focuses on
Six Key Areas
to Encourage Individual Progress
专注6大领域以鼓励个人成长
01
Developing Subject Knowledge and Skills
发展学科知识和技能
Within our ‘whole-student’ approach traditional education skills still underpin a high proportion of success against traditional metrics (such as exam scores) and are a key focus area in all CATS Colleges schools.
在我们的“全面发展学生”的方法中，受传统衡量标准所限（如考试成绩），传统的知识教育仍旧是获得成功的重要基础。这是剑桥文理学校集团各校本部专注的重点。
02
掌握考试技巧
Mastering Exam Skills
Students need to be effectively prepared for their exams with subject knowledge but also with methods and tactics to manage stress and to develop a feeling of ownership over the exam process.
学生需要有效地准备考试，不仅要有学科知识，还要有管理压力的方法和策略，并培养对考试过程的主人翁感。
03
Understanding and Interacting with Peers of All Nationalities and Backgrounds
理解并与不同国籍和背景的同龄人交流
A student should make the most of living, working, and playing alongside other students in the school and in the wider world which they will inhabit in the future.
学生可以充分利用在学校和未来更大的环境中与其他学生一起生活、工作和玩耍的机会。
04
Enhancing English skills
提高英语技能
Students need to be able to understand what they are being taught, what they are being asked in assessments and to clearly articulate their answers, but also to express themselves in the school environment.
学生不仅需要理解所学的内容，理解在答辩中被问到的问题并能清楚地表达自己的答案，也需要在校园环境中表达自己。
05
Effectively Overcome Learning Challenges and Developing Self-motivation
有效地克服学习中的挑战并发展自我激励能力
This is vital for success at school, but also beyond the school gates when working constructively with others. We ensure students stretch themselves academically and understand how to learn from failure and know what to do when they meet a challenge at university or in their career.
我们确保学生在学术上拓展自己，了解如何从失败中学习，并知道当在大学或职业生涯中遇到挑战时该怎么做。对于在校园中取得成功，甚至走出校园后与他人进行建设性合作时，这至关重要。
06
Preparing to Live Independently
为独立生活做准备
Our caring and accepting environment with high staff to student ratios, prepares each student to be able to adapt to university life and make the most of their individual Higher Education path.
剑桥文理学校集团具有很高的师生比例，充满关爱和接纳的环境帮助每位学生提前适应大学生活，并助力自己的大学之路。
Not a One Size Fits All Approach
灵活且适宜的教育方法，拒绝一刀切
CATS students are diverse in background, in prior experiences, and in their ability to perform against standard academic assessments. In our dynamic education environment, a standard fit approach does not work for our students or staff.
剑桥文理学校集团学生的背景、往日经历以及在标准学术评估中的表现能力各不相同。在我们动态的教育环境中，一个统一标准的方法对学生和教职员工来说是行不通的。
I am fortunate to say that we recruit our staff from a vast range of backgrounds. I am also very proud that our staff tell me that they are drawn to CATS Colleges because they enjoy working with our diverse student body and encouraging young people to achieve. The wide-ranging experience and knowledge of our staff allows us to fit our approach to every student and cater for any educational need.
幸运的是，我们的教职员工背景广泛。我也非常自豪，因为他们告诉我，被吸引到剑桥文理学校集团是因为他们喜欢与多元化学生群体一起工作，乐于鼓励年轻人取得成就。我们的教职员工拥有广泛的经验和知识，这使得我们的教学方法能够适用于每位学生，并满足任何教育需求。
Discovering the Right Path
发掘正确的道路
Throughout their time with us, a student is encouraged and supported to make an informed decision about which universities and courses are best for them to apply to. We have dedicated Higher Education Advisors in our schools who facilitate this process with each student, and we benefit from strong relationships with our partner universities who provide talks from their own academics and admissions staff. This extra focus on the university application process means CATS students interact with the Higher Education world as closely as possible.
在学生与我们相处的整个过程中，我们鼓励并支持他们做出明智的决定，选择最适合的大学和课程。剑桥文理学校集团拥有专门的高等教育顾问，为每位学生的大学申请过程提供便利。还受益于与我们合作大学的密切关系，这些大学为剑桥文理学校集团的学生提供丰富多彩的讲座。对大学申请的格外关注意味着学生可以与高等教育学府紧密地互动。
Going Further Than Others
超越同行者 迈向更远方
A student’s achievements do not end at University… We want to see our students thrive and show genuine interest in what they do and where they go after they leave us; whether that is further study, career success, or reaching their own dream. Their achievements encourages us to keep going further in our pursuit of educational excellence. Having overseen CATS Colleges for several years, I have seen first hand the success the CATS Approach has in nurturing the world shapers of tomorrow. I take great pride in seeing the enormous benefits we have given to thousands of students in the past and will continue to do so for many thousands of students in the future.
每位学生的成长都不会止于大学……离开剑桥文理学校集团后，无论学生是选择深造、创业还是实现自己的梦想，我们都希望看到学生的茁壮成长，以及能够对自己的发展道路表现出真正的兴趣。学生们的成就也激励我们继续追求卓越的教育。在管理剑桥文理学校集团数年后，我亲眼目睹了在培养未来世界塑造者方面取得的巨大成功。我非常自豪地看到，我们在过去为成千上万的学生提供了非常大的帮助，并将在未来继续为成千上万的学生提供帮助。
