Graduation marks a new starting point no matter where each student is heading to. SHSID holds the belief that every student has their own growth path, as well as individual interests and abilities. Do our graduates have the ability to continue to develop themselves after leaving high school? This is a question we often ask ourselves. We believe that having such an ability will lay a solid foundation for our graduates to become unique and life-long learners.

In recent years, our school has made two big research achievements: High School Co-curriculum Model and High School Curriculum Map. They embody our educational philosophy and practices committed to “cultivating talents”.

In today’s pluralist world, we will continue our endeavor to create various opportunities for our students to fully express and surpass themselves. We will also continue to help our students adapt better to today’s world and equip them with an ability for life-long learning and development.

The Class of 2017, with best wishes from your alma mater, you will embark on a new chapter of your life with confidence and courage. Wherever you are, wherever you go, you will always be the pride of SHSID!
