MIS featured in the case library of the HM Government report “International Education Strategy” which was published back in  March 2019. 



This report described the global potential and global growth in the international education field. The report published:




The UK has a world-class education offering, a global reputation and a strong presence in international markets…As we leave the European Union and reach out to meet the emerging possibilities of the wider world, we have the opportunity to build on these successes and embrace our ambitious objectives for the education sector…UK education is punching above its weight, but below its potential…To do this, this strategy sets out a cohesive approach to our global education sector, recognising where Government can best help and where the sector should take the lead…Our ambition is to increase education exports to £35 billion by 2030. 


As more and more British brand schools arrived in China these past few years, we can fully appreciate their findings.


Reported in the article "Attracting and welcoming international students", MIS was included as a successful case of British brands locating overseas.


Case Study 

Celebrating Success: Merchiston Castle School in China 


Merchiston Castle School, a leading all-boys independent boarding school in Scotland, joined a Department for International Trade mission to China mainland in December 2016. Alongside meeting potential partners, Merchiston began negotiations on setting up schools in China and signed an agreement to do so in mid-2017 with the parent of a former pupil. 


During this period a policy change was announced in China that impacted international schools. The Department for International Trade’s Education team worked with Merchiston and its Chinese partner to help them set up a foreign passport holder school to mitigate risks and to provide insight on choosing a site for their first school in Shenzhen. The school officially opened in August 2018 and successfully enrolled its first cohort of students. 


“The parent of a former pupil in MCS” is MIS Chairman, Mr Lyu. His eldest son was a MCS pupil and he was attracted to introduce MCS to China. 


As MIS talk to the public, we are the first overseas campus of MCS. How can we reflect the strong relationship as the direct brand branch of MCS?

Merchiston Tartan

曼校格纹图腾


MCS, Edinburgh has its very own tartan, which was especially woven for Merchiston using the school colours of blue and red in 1980 by Douglas and Deirdre Kinloch Anderson, who had a son at the School.

MIS girls wear this tartan with pride, the school kilts and ties are made from this unique tartan.

The Castle Hall

城堡大厅


MCS in Edinburgh features a large hall called The Memorial Hall which was designed to be a focal point at the centre of MCS, just like our The Castle Hall is at MIS. Both schools share a similar architectural feature, which is an upstairs seated balcony on three sides of the hall.

MCS's library is called The Spawforth Library, named after the predecessor as the headmaster of MCS, has a spiral stairwell, just like the one in our library at MIS. In both schools, the library provides a quiet area to foster a love of reading which is important to us all. Indeed, it could be said that reading books is critical to everything we know and learn.

2019年3月的一份名为“国际教育战略”的英国政府报告中,作为一个异国办学的成功案例,曼校被收录在该报告中。



该份报告主要描述了国际教育领域的全球市场潜力和增长情况。报告中提及,




英国以其全球领先的教育产品享誉全球,在国际市场上有强大的号召力……当我们离开欧盟并努力迎接更为广阔的新兴市场时,我们有机会将英国教育推向世界,实现教育部门的宏伟目标……英国教育在对外输出上有其影响力但持续发展的潜力不足……为此,该战略制定了教育部门的发展策略,并指明政府可以从哪些方面提供支持和引导,我们的目标是2030年将推动英式教育出口额达350亿英镑。


事实上,近几年来,百年英式教育品牌们纷纷落户中国,可见此份报告的指导性意义。


该报告在谈及“吸引和欢迎国际生”的版块,曼校被作为“本土学校海外创办分校”的成功案例纳入其中。


案例研究

成功创校:曼彻斯通城堡学校落户中国


苏格兰领先的男校曼彻斯通城堡学校(Merchiston Castle School)于2016年12月加入国际贸易部对中国大陆的访问。在与潜在合作伙伴(亦是曼校一位毕业生的父亲)会面后,曼彻斯通城堡学校就在中国建立学校的事宜进行谈判并签署了协议。


在此期间,中国的民促法出台(译者注),对国际学校的创办产生了影响。国际贸易部的教育团队与曼彻斯通城堡学校及其中国合作伙伴通力合作,帮助他们建立了外籍人员子女学校,并提供了“选择深圳为其第一所海外分校”的建议。该学校于2018年8月正式开放,并成功招收了第一批学生。


报告中提及的中方合作伙伴,即“曼彻斯通城堡学校毕业生的父亲”,就是深圳曼彻斯通城堡学校的董事局主席吕先生。他的大儿子曾在爱丁堡曼校就读,也是这段经历促使他下定决心,将该品牌引进中国。


正如深圳曼校对外沟通中经常谈及的,我们是爱丁堡曼校的首间海外分校。哪些方面可以体现深圳与爱丁堡母校之间的这种直接从属的强关联?两所学校共享相同的曼校传统:


01

Merchiston Day 

曼校校庆日


爱丁堡曼彻斯通城堡学校始建于1833年,是一所拥有188年历史的百年名校。而位于深圳的曼校则朝日蓬勃,刚刚庆祝了自己第三个生日。我们期待在深圳共同经历更多的校庆日。

Ready Ay Ready 

校训:为未来而来


爱丁堡曼校和深圳曼校都沿用了相同的校训“Ready Ay Ready”,意思是“为未来而来”。


 深圳曼校和爱丁堡曼校都会在类似校庆日等庆祝活动时共同颂唱同一首校歌“Ready ay Ready”!

Merchiston Badge

曼校校徽


两所曼校使用了同样的校徽。该纹章图案在校内随处可见,你可以在建筑物的外观、学校的标识牌、在线链接和网站上找到纹章的身影。与爱丁堡曼校一样,他们身上穿着的校服,胸前口袋上均绣有纹章,如果你仔细观察,上面也写着Ready Ay Ready的字样。

Merchiston Tartan

曼校格纹图腾


爱丁堡曼校有专属的格子呢纹,它是Douglas和Deirdre Kinloch Anderson两个家族在1980年根据学校的红蓝底色定制并设计出稿。当时设计师Deirdre Kinloch Anderson的儿子及Mr 及 Mrs Douglas Kinloch的孙子均就读于爱丁堡曼校。Kinloch Anderson家族拥有一家享誉世界的高端定制服装品牌公司。 


深圳曼校校服中,女生的格纹裙和男生的领带就是用这种曼校独有的格子呢纹样式。

爱丁堡曼校在其辉煌的历史上曾接待过众多贵宾。150年校庆时,在任女王伊丽莎白二世曾于1983年访问了爱丁堡曼校。而她的父母,约克公爵和夫人也曾在1933年百年校庆之时亲自造访曼校并致辞祝贺。

Merchiston Day 

寄宿楼


MIS和MCS沿用了同样的命名方式,将校内寄宿楼命名为:Pringle, Chalmers和Rogerson。Chalmers是1833年创校校长Charles Chalmers的姓氏。Rogerson来源于John Rogerson先生,一名在曼校任职超过30年的校长也被他的学生亲切地称呼为“酋长”。Pringle则来自于曼校知名校友及校董John Pringle。他深爱曼校而后作为校董的他捐赠了大笔财产给学校用于维护校舍,帮助学校解决燃眉之急。

在爱丁堡曼校的中心位置设计和建造了一座纪念堂,就像深圳曼校的Castle Hall一般,两所学校的建筑都带有相似的特征,大厅的三侧均为阶梯式观众台。(插入照片)

MIS Library

图书馆


在爱丁堡曼校有一座Spawforth图书馆,同样是以历任校长的姓氏命名。正如爱丁堡曼校图书馆的螺旋式旋转楼梯一样,深圳曼校也广泛采用了类似的设计。两所学校的图书馆都为曼校师生提供了一个安静、安全的场所尽情享受阅读。事实上,读书是学习和认知的基础,是一切学习的起源。

Napier

奈皮尔历史馆


曼校接待厅奈皮尔楼的名字来自于数学家约翰·奈皮尔(1550-1617)(奈皮尔照片)。他出生在爱丁堡曼彻斯通城堡——一栋中世纪的塔楼当中,也是爱丁堡曼校最初的校址之一。他最著名的成就就是发明了对数概念。简而言之,对数就是解答一个数字乘以多少次才能得到另一个数字这一数学概念。

The Colinton Atrium

Colinton大厅


Colinton 中庭的名字源自Colinton城堡,是爱丁堡曼校的一部分。这栋建筑始建于1450年,Colinton城堡所在的村落正是爱丁堡曼校如今校址所在,曼校在1930年从Bruntsfield郡整校搬迁至此。
