我们期待在未来的教育旅程中，与更多志同道合的家庭携手，共同见证孩子们卓越成长，绽放独特光彩！

On August 6th, despite the torrential rain in Shenzhen, it failed to dampen parents' enthusiasm for exploring high-quality international education. On that day, the gates of Shenzhen Merchiston School gently opened, welcoming families from various fields such as technology, finance, and culture in the Greater Bay Area. Accompanied by Executive Head of School Mr. Ben Webster and National Head of Schol Ms. Wendy, the guests gained an in-depth understanding of Merchiston's educational philosophy, teaching characteristics, and remarkable university admission achievements, embarking on an immersive journey to explore excellent British-style international education.  

 As soon as visitors stepped into the campus, the British-style charm came to the fore. Whether it was the castle-like teaching buildings full of Scottish style, the academically flavored Scottish kilts, or the creative and inspired student artworks decorating every corner of the campus... all vividly demonstrated Merchiston's historical heritage and artistic atmosphere.  

In-Depth Sharing: Guided by Philosophy, Fruits of Success Abound  

At the open day, Merchiston's core teaching management team delivered wonderful sharing sessions on educational philosophy, school-running features, and university admission achievements. Through vivid real cases, they reviewed the school's development history since its establishment, including the excellent academic performance of graduates over the years, as well as the brilliant achievements and honors of students in academic competitions, sports events, club activities, and research mentor programs.  

In addition, parents and the school conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as how to cultivate children's self-drive in learning and leadership skills, and help each child find their own path to optimal growth. Parents highly recognized and appreciated Merchiston's student-centered educational philosophy that emphasizes personalized development.  

At the event, one parent's sharing was particularly touching. She sighed, "I visited Merchiston four years ago but regrettably missed the opportunity. This time, revisiting and witnessing the school's remarkable development and educational achievements, I feel extremely delighted and determined. 'This time, I must seize the opportunity for my child to study at Merchiston without hesitation!'" This sincere voice is the most profound recognition and affirmation of Merchiston's educational value.  

Addressing parents' high concern about university admissions, Director Kurt of Merchiston's Royal Mile Academy provided a detailed explanation. He highlighted how the school, based on "China's national conditions", combined with "Shenzhen's educational context", and relying on "Merchiston's school context", meticulously built a more down-to-earth educational system with distinct Shenzhen characteristics, driving this prestigious British school to continue shining and making a brilliant "breakthrough" in the international education sector of the Greater Bay Area.  

Data shows that Merchiston students have not only won numerous awards in academic competitions and achieved remarkable results in research projects but also continued to shine in university admissions. Particularly notable are the 2025 graduates—they not only successfully obtained the first Cambridge University admission offer among Shenzhen's British-style international schools, creating a precedent but also achieved the dazzling result of each student receiving at least one offer from a UK G5 super-elite university, fully demonstrating Merchiston's excellent teaching strength.  

Shenzhen Merchiston International School firmly believes that the core of education lies in helping each child discover their own talents and passions, growing into confident and determined global citizens. We are committed to pursuing excellent academic achievements while guiding students to explore their inner passions, preparing them to face every challenge in the future with the best attitude.  

Precise Q&A: In-Depth Interaction, Gaining Recognition

After the campus tour, the school specially set up a consultation and Q&A session. School leaders and admission office teachers gathered on-site to provide patient and detailed answers to key questions raised by parents, such as admission policies, curriculum features, and enrollment procedures. The on-site communication atmosphere was warm, and parents spoke highly of the school's professionalism and sincerity, expressing their strong recognition of Shenzhen Merchiston's educational philosophy.  

Merchiston's charm has not only infected parents but also deeply attracted children. On the way back, a child couldn't wait to announce his "major decision" to his parents: he wanted to leave his originally beloved school and join School Mom Wendy's "big family"! What attracted him here was not only the fun Lego classroom and delicious snacks but also the sincere and friendly smiles on campus and the sense of belonging that.

We look forward to joining hands with more like-minded families in the future educational journey, witnessing children grow excellently and shine with unique brilliance together!
