On May 14th, at the over 600 years old New College of Oxford University, and in an office with over 600 years of history, Lighthouse International Education Group (hereinafter referred to as Lighthouse Education) officially signed a contract with the Oxford Center for Tutorial Teaching Limited at the New College of Oxford University. This marks that Lighthouse Education will be the first education group who introduce the tutorial into China and will be extended to affiliated primary and secondary schools, which has been implemented at the University of Oxford for nearly 1000 years. In the future, it will empower teachers in its affiliated schools and more teachers in Shenzhen and Asia, and carry out tutorial teacher training, thereby empowering children in Lighthouse Education's affiliated schools and more children in the Greater Bay Area and Asia.

Mr. David Palafreyman, fellow of the New College of Oxford University, director of the Oxford Center for Higher Education Policy Research, author of "THE OXFORD TUTORIAL THANKS, YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO THINK", and head of the Oxford Center for Tutorial Teaching, as well as Mr. Jianjun Lyu , founder of Lighthouse Education, attended the ceremony and signed the contract.

Mr. David Palafreyman said, "Lighthouse Education is very visionary and courageous, with several schools in Greater Bay Area and each has its own characteristics. We believe that the 1-2-1 tutorial model, which has been practiced in top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge for hundreds of years, can be revitalized through Lighthouse Education's practice in Shenzhen and even in Asia in the future. It can broaden the breadth and depth of education, and assist teachers and students in critical and creative thinking. We look forward to future cooperation between the two sides."

Mr. Lyu Jianjun, founder of Lighthouse Education Group, said, “When I first conversed with Dean David in his office with a history spanning over 600 years, I was instantly captivated by the Oxford tutorial system. This was the educational ideal I had been seeking. At MIS, I have always advocated that education should come from the heart. Teachers should infuse their hearts into their teaching, nurturing love with love. They should grow from ordinary subject teachers into mentors for life, achieving face-to-face, hand-in-hand, and heart-to-heart connections with students.”

The tutorial system is the most important education system at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge in the UK and is hailed as the most brilliant gem among all higher education systems in the UK. Every undergraduate student at the University of Oxford is equipped with a tutor, each tutor only teaches 1-2 students. The tutor meets with students at least once a week, each time for at least 1 hour, and comprehensively follows up on their learning, life, and other aspects. The tutor does not directly teach students academic knowledge, but guides students to think actively, search for information, cultivate critical thinking, stimulate their creativity, and help them develop comprehensively through various forms such as questioning, interaction, and homework assignment.

Prof. Edmund Kwok, Chairman of the Academic Committee of Lighthouse Education Group, said:"Lighthouse Education is the first institution in Shenzhen to implement a pure British boarding international school. After 6 years of practice, in the spirit of benevolence education and the world 's family concept, Lighthouse Education has accumulated valuable experience in the integration of Eastern and Western education, teacher development, student teaching, curriculum design, and home-school interaction. This time, Lighthouse Education and professors from Oxford University will cooperate to jointly develop a development system suitable for primary and secondary school teachers based on tutorial, allowing teachers to master the heuristic guidance, critical questioning, and problem-solving methods in the tutorial education system, and better empower students in primary and secondary schools."

In the first five years of deeply cultivating the Greater Bay Area, under the guidance of the holistic education philosophy of academic excellence and heartfelt warmth, Lighthouse Education Group has developed into an innovative international education group. It integrates international education practice, teaching and research, and the cultivation of international teachers.


The first five years have produced outstanding results, sending hundreds of excellent graduates to world-class universities. Seventy-five percent of the graduates have been admitted to top 30 universities globally, including Imperial College London, London School of Economics, University College London, University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, University of the Arts London, University of Edinburgh, University of St Andrews, University of Toronto, and University of Waterloo.


Lighthouse Education Group has fulfilled its mission of illuminating lives with love, making ordinary children extraordinary and exceptional children even more outstanding.

The tutorial program dedicated to the development of primary and secondary school teachers has now entered the curriculum development stage. In addition to Mr. David Palafreman, the participating professors and experts include Prof. Edmund Kwok, vice chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman of the Academic Committee of Lighthouse International Education Group, Dr. Christine Lai, Dean of the Academy of Lighthouse Organization and Talent Development, Mr. Ken Mayhew, Honorary Professor of the Department of Education at the University of Oxford, and Mr. Robert Gulliver, former Principal of the New College Affiliated Primary School at the University of Oxford, as well as other experts and frontline educators. Both sides had a pleasant communication in a friendly atmosphere and had a thorough discussion on the implementation of the Oxford tutorial project. The consensus reached by both parties is: all teachers participating in the tutorial teacher development program will receive a certificate issued by Mr. David Palafreman, as well as a continuing teacher development certificate issued by the School of Education at the University of Buckingham. This course will also become a part of the PGCE certification program at the University of Buckingham, which is a mandatory certification for all British teachers and all the participated teachers will ultimately has the opportunity to obtain an internationally recognized teaching qualification.

Next, as cooperation progresses, in order to ensure that the tutorial teacher development program is more suitable for the teacher team of Lighthouse International Education Group, the team from Oxford University will conduct research on teachers at Lighthouse International Education Group affiliated schools and introduce a selection system. All teachers of Lighthouse Education will have the opportunity to participate in this project, and the first batch will provide training opportunities for 30 teachers.

牛津大学新学院院士、牛津高等教育政策研究中心主任、《高等教育何以为高:牛津导师制教学反思》一书的作者、牛津导师制教育中心负责人David Palfreyman先生,灯塔教育创始人吕建军先生出席仪式并签约。



David Palfreyman先生他表示:“灯塔教育非常有远见、有魄力,下辖的几所学校都有各自的特点,相信在牛津大学和剑桥大学等顶尖名校实践了几百年的1-2-1导师制模式通过灯塔教育在深圳甚至未来在亚洲的实践,能焕发出新的生命力,拓宽教育的广度和深度,为老师和学生的批判性、创造性思维助力,非常期待双方未来的合作。”



灯塔教育集团创始人吕建军先生说,“当第一次在David院长有着600多年悠久历史的办公室交谈时,瞬间被牛津导师制所吸引,这是我一直在寻找的教育理想,在曼校,我始终倡导教育要从心出发,教师要将心注入以爱育爱,从一名普通的学科老师发展成为学生的人生导师,师生之间做到面对面,手拉手,心连心。”



导师制是英国牛津大学和剑桥大学最重要的教育制度,被誉为英国高等教育所有制度中最璀璨的宝石。每一位牛津大学的本科生都会配备一名导师,每位导师只教导1-2位学生,导师每周和学生见面至少一次,每次至少1个小时,全面跟进学生的学习、生活等各方面情况,导师并不直接教授学生学术,而是通过提问、互动、布置功课等各种形式,引导学生主动思考,查找资料,养成批判性思维,激发学生的创造力,帮助学生全面发展。

灯塔教育集团学术委员会主席郭少棠先生表示:“灯塔教育是深圳第一家将纯英式寄宿制国际学校落地的机构,经过6年的实践,本着仁爱教育的天下一家的精神,在东西方教育的融合、教师的发展、学生的培养、课程的设置、家校的互动上积累了宝贵的经验。此次灯塔教育和牛津大学的教授们开展合作,双方将合力开发适合中小学阶段教师的发展体系,让教师们掌握导师制教育制度中启发式引导、批判式提问、问题式思考等方式方法,更好地赋能中小学阶段的学生。”



灯塔教育集团深耕大湾区第一个五年,在秉承学术卓越最具温暖的全人教育理念引领下,已经发展成为集国际教育实践,教研,国际化教师培养三位一体的创新型国际化教育集团。第一个五年已经交出靓丽的答卷,向世界一流大学输送上百名优秀毕业生,75%被帝国理工大学、伦敦政经、UCL,香港大学、清华大学、UAL、爱丁堡大学,圣安德鲁斯大学、多伦多大学,滑铁卢大学等世界TOP30大学录取。灯塔教育集团实现了用爱点亮生命之灯的初心使命,让普通的孩子不普通,优秀的孩子更优秀。



目前,该项致力于中小学教师发展的导师制课程目前已经进入课程编写阶段,参与的导师除了David Palfreman先生之外,还有灯塔国际教育集团董事局副主席、学术委员会主席郭少棠博士、灯塔组织与人才发展学院院长黎天姿博士、牛津大学教育学系荣誉教授Ken Mayhew先生,牛津大学新学院附属小学退休校长Robert Gullifer先生等专家、一线教育工作者。双方在友好的气氛中进行愉快的交流,就牛津导师制项目落地进行充分探讨。双方达成共识是:所有参加导师制教师发展项目的教师将获得牛津大学新学院院士David Palfreman先生签发的认证证书以及白金汉大学教育学院颁发的教师持续发展证书,这项培训课程还将成为白金汉大学PGCE证书课程的一个组成部分,PGCE课程是所有英国教师必须获得证书之一,并最终有机会获得国际认可的教师资格证。



接下来,随着合作的推进,为了确保导师制教师发展项目更适合灯塔国际教育集团的教师团队,牛津大学的团队将会对灯塔国际教育集团附属学校的教师进行调研,推出遴选制度。所有灯塔教育的教师都将有机会参与该项目,首批将先为30位老师提供培训机会。
