During the visit, she spoke highly of SUIS’s “East meet West” Education Philosophy, and made an exclusive compliment on the art education of SUIS. Mrs. Yin said that students in SUIS do not simply learn a special skill in art classes, but more importantly, they learn about how to appreciate and enjoy art, which helps open their eyes to see beauty and enrich their mind of aesthetics.

In the meantime, Mrs. Yin also praised SUIS’s academic counseling service for students. She made the remark that it is vital for secondary schools to earnestly help students gain a more complete perception of themselves, find their own aspirations, and make plans in advance for their future academic or professional development.
Later during the visit, Mrs. Yin also made a compliment on the East-and-West-integrated architectural style of SUIS Wanyuan. She said that the students’ love and respect for our country and tradition shouldn’t be nurtured merely in their classrooms, but also be manifested in their surroundings, in their campus.As a result of the unwavering pursuit of our educational philosophy where “East meets West”, SUIS students’ international mindset and patriotism are vividly materialized and reinforced by our versatile extracurricular activities, the showcase of students’ work in both Chinese and Western subjects, and the syncretic architectural ambience of our campus.After the campus tour, Mrs. Yin and her delegation also exchanged and discussed with our school leaders on the future development of private education in Shanghai. Many other leaders from the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and the school leaders of SUIS Wanyuan attended this conference. Mr. Hu Wei, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of China Private Education Association, also escorted the visitors.
