The King’s School Ely

The King’s School Ely是英國最古老的學校之一，有超過1000年歷史，是傳統的英國寄宿學校。校舍建築雖然歷史久遠，但學校設施都非常現代化，包括體育館、全天候球場、藝術大樓和圖書館。學校位於中部的小鎮Ely，交通便利，距離劍橋只有20分鐘車程，往倫敦約1.5小時車程，學校附近有火車站，可直達倫敦的King Cross站和 Liverpool Street站。

學校以鼓勵、激發學生的潛力為教學目標，提供了各種的課程，使學生能掌握各方面的技能，從而更好地適應現代社會的需求。針對國際學生需求，學校提供額外英語培訓及一年制GCSE課程等等，讓國際學生更容易適應英國教育制度。

學校重視學生獨立自主的思考學習能力，從小培養他們的社會責任意識。而且師生關係融洽，老師能掌握每位學生的具體情況，給予最需要的幫助。

At King’s Ely Senior they provide an education, in the broadest sense, that enables young people to discover and build on their strengths and to use their talents to help define their identity. Pupils enjoy supportive pastoral care and live within a rich spiritual context. They nurture the habit of independent learning and an ownership of their own educational journeys. They enjoy and respect individuality and learn to be team players as part of a vibrant, caring community. They develop a sense of who they are alongside the courage to be what they are meant to be.

Steeped in tradition, yet innovative and vibrant, King’s Ely is a community in which students are empowered to achieve beyond expectation. Being challenged to step out of your ‘comfort zone’ may seem uncomfortable at first, but this quickly becomes a way of life. Things are done differently here, and gradually students learn how to take risks in their learning, accommodating success and failure in a climate of support. Making education an adventure is central to what we do: the open-ended possibilities; the challenge of tackling new concepts; the way we encourage our students to think for themselves, think differently and think beyond an examination mark.
