HERITAGE VALUES
Our values are modeled on the traditional Chinese and American cornerstones of Respect, Courage, and the Importance of Family. Together with the Heritage Student-Profile-Values of Confidence, Independence, Risk-Taking, and 21st-Century-Skilled, our scholars thrive to reach their potential with integrity and respect.
哈立国际成长学院的价值观是以中美文化中共有的——尊重、勇气和家庭的重要性这三大传统为基石建立的。将传统价值观中的自信、独立、冒险和21世纪技能结合在一起，我们的学员们将充分发挥他们的潜力。
How We Achieve these Values
Respect: We aim to offer a safe, happy environment where everyone is known and valued—a place where differing needs are acknowledged, accepted, and met. At Heritage Academy, respect is lived and modeled from management to teachers, and teachers to students. We value self-respect, mutual respect, respect for others, and respect for our environment.
尊重：我们的目标是提供一个安全、快乐的环境，让每个人都能被认识并获得重视；一个多种需求都得到承认、接受和满足的地方。在哈利国际成长学院，从管理层到教师、教师和学生，尊重是活生生的，是有示范的。我们强调，尊重与赢得尊重的规则一样宝贵。尊重他人，也会得到他人的回报。关怀是打开善良之门的钥匙，这对于所有的生命来说都是通用的；爱护自己和他人的财产以及共享资源。不仅如此，通过自我尊重，你会在没有人注意的时候做出正确的选择。尊重你的家庭和传统，他们就会一直在那里为你指引方向。
Courage: Teaching students to have boldness in the classroom not only increases engagement and academic achievement but also helps students learn how to handle difficult situations and challenges. One might not think that children endure many hardships, but they do — they try new things every day at school! These acts include trying out new skills and activities or standing up and speaking in front of the classroom, all of which takes courage.
Learning to fail is another vital aspect of courage. At Heritage, we approach failure with a growth mindset. “I can’t” shifts to “I can’t, yet…” Continued practice leads to increased courage. When students become less afraid of defeat, they’ll begin to demonstrate more perseverance and persistence in the face of adversity. We teach students to look at failure as an opportunity to learn and a necessary step on the path to success.
勇气：教学生在课堂上大胆实践，不仅能提高学生的参与度和学术成就，还能帮助他们学会如何处理困难的情况和挑战。人们可能不认为孩子们会承受很多困难，但他们确实在经历——他们每天都在学校面临崭新的挑战！这些挑战包括尝试不同的技能和活动，或者在教室前站起来发表观点，所有这些都需要勇气。
学会接受失败是勇气的另一个重要层面。在学院，我们以成长的心态面对失败。将“我不能”转化成“我还不能……”持续的练习会增加勇气。当学生不再那么害怕失败时，他们就会在逆境中表现出更多的坚持与毅力。我们教导学生把失败看作学习的机会，是通往成功的必经之路。
Family: In line with the Heritage belief in the importance of “family,” and the importance of including everyone within the school community, we have a Parent Partnership Program. Parents are invited through the Parent Partnership Program to be actively involved in supporting their children with what is happening in school. This could be from coming in to read to students, participating in birthdays, and sharing encouraging stories to be posted in the classroom on the “DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE” wall. Family involvement is integral to Heritage Academy’s success!
家庭观：出于学院传统中强调的对家庭的考虑，以及为了让每个人都参与到孩子们的成长中，我们投入了家校合作计划。家长们被邀请积极地了解孩子们在学校里所发生的事情。我们可以走进教室给学生朗读，参加生日聚会，分享鼓舞人心的故事，张贴在教室的“梦想、信仰、实现”的墙面上。家庭的参与对哈利国际成长学院的成功是不可或缺的!
