The meaning of education goes far beyond the transmission of knowledge.
教育的意义，远不止于知识的传递。
It lies in igniting sparks of growth, awakening inner passion, and encouraging students to bravely question , courageously explore, and joyfully create.
它更在于点燃成长的火花，唤醒内心的热忱，让学生敢于追问、勇于探索、乐于创造。
At WIS, teachers and students together shape the spiritual core of the school. With their passion and vitality, they bring warmth and lasting energy to the campus.
在WIS的校园里，教师与学生一同构筑起学校的精神内核。他们以蓬勃的热情与活力，为校园注入源源不断的活力与温度。
In their mission to “Impart the way, Teach knowledge, and Resolve doubts,” they illuminate every step of students’ growth.
老师们以“传道、授业、解惑”为己任，照亮学子成长的每一步。
On September 10th, Teachers’ Day, we present a special feature to honor the dedicated educators of WIS and listen to their voices.
在9月10日教师节之际，我们特别推出教师节特辑，走近WIS默默耕耘的教育者，倾听他们的心声。
The Voices of WIS Teachers
WIS老师的“心声”
They rejoice at a student’s “I get it,” feel gratified by a parent’s “Thank you,” and are touched by a colleague’s “I’ll help too.”
他们会为学生的一句“我懂了”而雀跃，会为家长的一句“谢谢您”而欣慰，也会为同事的一句“我也来”而感动。
