在獲得CIS（國(guó)際學(xué)校理事會(huì)）和 WASC（美國(guó)西部學(xué)校與學(xué)院聯(lián)盟）全面認(rèn)證之后，最近，我們又成為東亞地區(qū)第一梯隊(duì)的國(guó)際學(xué)校組織EARCOS（東亞國(guó)際學(xué)校協(xié)會(huì)）的成員！

這些進(jìn)展不只體現(xiàn)了外界對(duì)我們的廣泛認(rèn)可，也為我們開辟了新的合作機(jī)會(huì)！

通過(guò)所有這些過(guò)程，學(xué)校也會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)自我提升和改進(jìn)，這是保證高質(zhì)量教學(xué)的關(guān)鍵，也是保障啟明星健康發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵。

站在新學(xué)年開端，我們信心滿滿！

“在啟明星，我們致力于培養(yǎng)擁有社會(huì)創(chuàng)新意識(shí)的學(xué)生，激勵(lì)他們發(fā)揮自己最美好的一面。學(xué)校最近獲得的EARCOS會(huì)員資格，以及之前得到的CIS和WASC認(rèn)證，IB的再授權(quán)，證實(shí)了我們對(duì)卓越和創(chuàng)新的承諾。

這些成果展示了我們培養(yǎng)富有同理心和驅(qū)動(dòng)力的學(xué)習(xí)者的使命，我們的學(xué)習(xí)者會(huì)為創(chuàng)造更加公平和可持續(xù)的世界而努力。學(xué)校在發(fā)展過(guò)程中得到的外部認(rèn)可表明，我們不僅是反思型學(xué)習(xí)者，也是全球進(jìn)步的積極貢獻(xiàn)者。”
