On the morning of April 18, 2014 local time, the High School affiliated to Tsinghua University and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a well-known American high school, held a signing ceremony at the Chinese Embassy in the United States。At the ceremony, the principals of both sides said that Tsinghua High School and Thomas High School are well-known and excellent schools in their respective countries, and the purpose of this friendship is to learn from each other's leading experience and cultivate more young generations with international vision and innovative ability。Wang Dianjun, president of the High School attached to Tsinghua University, said in an interview with the reporter of the People's Daily Online that by establishing a friendship school with Thomas High School, from the student level, you can see what children of the same age in other countries are thinking about, which is of great benefit to Chinese students to broaden their horizons。At the school level, this international vision and cooperation will bring a different perspective to the philosophy of teachers and school management。Today's education is not a matter of a school only training its own students, but a country training the next generation, or even the whole world training the next generation, so students should have earlier opportunities to communicate。Thomas High School principal Glanzer said that the friendship school with Tsinghua High School will create a lot of research and cooperation opportunities for the two schools。Chinese and American education systems are different, and the two schools can learn from each other and complement each other's strengths。President Wang Dianjun said that in addition to the exchange of visits between students, the cooperation between the two schools will focus on the establishment of joint research topics, and plan to build a joint laboratory in the future, using network technology, students from both sides to discuss and complete creative experimental projects。In addition, there will be corresponding specific projects in terms of curriculum and teacher exchange。
