六月盛夏，蝉鸣阵阵。毕业典礼上，Dale步履从容地走上台，接受校长拨穗正冠，从老师手中接过高中毕业证书。这一刻对她而言格外特别。三年前，她从云南跨越千里来到深圳，从公立普高转轨实验ALevel；三年后，她以自信笃定的姿态，为自己的高中生涯，画上圆满句号。

每年，都有许多公立体系的学生选择来到实验ALevel转轨。在这里，他们被看见、被理解、被尊重，跳出单一的评价标准，收获属于自己的成长赛道。Dale正是其中之一。三年前的她，不甘被分数定义、不愿被固定的升学路径束缚，带着对更广世界的向往，主动选择奔赴新的成长平台。

“用心托举每一个孩子”——新哲始终相信，每个孩子都有****的闪光点。学校托举每一位学生的潜力，让每个人都能找到属于自己的成长节奏与人生方向。

从初入新环境的紧张焦虑，到如今目标清晰、自律松弛；从懵懂适应课程，到深耕商科会计、手握多所世界名校录取，Dale在多元包容的教育沃土中，解锁人生的无限可能。

On a summer day in June, amid the chorus of cicadas, Dale walked steadily onto the graduation stage. She received her high school diploma and had her tassel turned by the principal—a moment that carried special weight for her. Three years ago, she had traveled over a thousand kilometers from Yunnan to Shenzhen, transferring from a public high school to the A-Level Division of Sendelta. Three years later, she stood there, confident and self-assured, closing one chapter of her life with grace.

Every year, many students from the public school system make the transition to the A-Level Division of Sendelta. Here, they are seen, understood, and respected. They step out of a single metric of evaluation and find their own path to growth. Dale is one of them. Three years ago, she refused to be defined by test scores or confined to a predetermined track. Driven by a yearning for a broader world, she chose to pursue a new path forward."Dedication to every single child"—this is the belief that guides Sendelta. The school nurtures each student's unique strengths, fostering an environment where everyone can discover their own rhythm and direction in life.From the anxiety of stepping into an unfamiliar environment, to becoming focused and self-disciplined; from navigating a new curriculum, to diving deep into business and accounting and earning offers from multiple world-renowned universities—Dale unlocked a world of possibilities within an inclusive and nurturing educational setting.

千里转轨，

跳出"被安排"的成长模式

A Journey Across Provinces: 

Breaking Free from a Predetermined Path

在来到新哲之前，Dale在云南一所公立普高就读。封闭式的校园、固定的作息、统一的学习节奏，在这样的体系里，学生只需要紧跟学校安排、踏实努力，就能稳步前行。

成绩稳居前列的她，在外人眼里已经足够**，但Dale心里始终觉得有所缺失。严肃紧绷的学习氛围、快速压缩的学习节奏、师生之间那层说不清道不明的距离感，让热爱交流、喜欢向前辈取经的她，很难真正舒展自己。

她开始反问自己：一直被动安排、埋头赶路的成长，真的是我想要的吗？

转机来自一个偶然的推荐。通过父母的朋友，Dale**次了解到了国际教育和深圳实验ALevel。开放包容的校园氛围、灵活自主的课程体系、接轨全球的升学路径，彻底打动了她。

带着对世界名校的憧憬、对多元成长的向往，她告别熟悉的家乡与学习环境，千里奔赴深圳，在这里开启了全新的国际教育求学之路。

长期适应了“被安排”的学习模式，刚转入A-Level体系时，Dale仍然保持着过去那种高强度的生活节奏：五分钟收拾完宿舍、十分钟快速吃完饭，每天最早进班，却常常心绪浮躁、静不下心看书。努力却看不到即时回报，焦虑感一点点堆积。

与此同时，全英文外教课程成为她的一大难关，听不懂课堂内容、跟不上授课节奏，语言壁垒、思维差异、环境变化叠加在一起，让她一度陷入自我怀疑。

幸运的是，新哲松弛、包容、正向的校园氛围，慢慢治愈了她的紧绷心态。看着身边同学松弛自律、张弛有度的学习状态，她逐渐放下焦虑，学会慢下来、稳下来。

温暖平等的师生关系，是她快速融入的最大底气。这里的老师没有距离感，相处起来亦师亦友。英语老师Sylvia耐心帮她纠正发音、打磨语感，一点点帮她突破语言瓶颈；班主任April时刻关注她的情绪变化，耐心开导、真诚陪伴，引导她拓展社交、融入集体，在迷茫时及时为她撑腰。

在学校衔接课程、分层教学和老师的一对一引导下，Dale慢慢走出焦虑，找到了属于自己的学习节奏。她不再盲目内卷，而是学会科学规划：从简单科目入手进入学习状态，根据考季目标倒推学习计划，考完及时复盘查漏补缺。即使经济考试失利，她也不再慌乱内耗，而是冷静分析问题、立刻制定下一阶段计划，理性调整。

“现在的我，学会了自我谅解，有足够的时间思考自己的节奏，减少了很多内耗。”这份心态的成熟，是Dale转轨后最大的收获之一。

毕业典礼上，许校为Dale拨穗正冠

Before coming to Sendelta, Dale attended a public high school in Yunnan. With its enclosed campus, fixed schedule, and uniform pace, the system required little more than following the school's lead and putting in the work—steady effort all but guaranteed progress.

She ranked near the top of her class and looked successful by any external measure. Yet something felt off. The rigid atmosphere, the relentless pace, the subtle but palpable distance between teachers and students—it left little room for someone like Dale, who thrived on connection and loved learning from those with more experience.

She began to question herself: Is this really the kind of growth I want? Being passively directed, head down, always moving but never choosing the direction?

The turning point came unexpectedly. Through a friend of her parents, Dale learned about international education and the A-Level Division of Sendelta in Shenzhen. The open and inclusive campus culture, the flexible curriculum, and the globally connected pathways to university—everything about it resonated with her.

Driven by the dream of attending a top university and the desire for a richer, more multidimensional education, she left behind her hometown and familiar surroundings, traveling over a thousand kilometers to Shenzhen to start a new chapter in her education.

Having grown accustomed to being told what to do and when to do it, Dale carried her old intensity into the A-Level program at first. She got ready in five minutes, rushed through meals in ten, and arrived at the classroom before anyone else—only to find herself restless and unable to focus. Effort didn't yield immediate results, and frustration crept in.

At the same time, the all-English courses taught by foreign teachers became a major hurdle. She struggled to follow the content and keep up with the pace. Language barriers, different ways of thinking, and the sheer weight of so many changes all at once—it was overwhelming, and for a while, she questioned whether she could make it.

Fortunately, Sendelta's warm, supportive, and open atmosphere gradually eased her tension. Watching her classmates approach their studies with a balanced mix of discipline and ease, she began to let go of her anxiety and learned to slow down and steady herself.

What truly helped her settle in was the genuine, approachable relationships she found with her teachers. They felt more like mentors than authority figures. Sylvia, her English teacher, patiently worked with her on pronunciation and helped her build confidence in the language. April, her homeroom teacher, stayed attuned to her emotional state, offering reassurance and guiding her toward new friendships and a sense of belonging.

With the help of bridging courses, differentiated instruction, and one-on-one guidance from her teachers, Dale gradually found her footing. She stopped grinding for the sake of grinding and started planning strategically: beginning with simpler subjects to ease into study mode, working backward from exam schedules to set realistic goals, and reviewing her performance after each test to identify areas for improvement. Even when she didn't do well in economics, she didn't panic or spiral. She took a step back, analyzed what went wrong, and mapped out her next move with a clear head.

"Now I've learned to forgive myself. I give myself enough time to figure out my own pace, and I waste much less energy on overthinking." That shift in mindset—learning to be kind to herself—has been one of the most valuable gains from her journey of transition.

以热爱锚定方向，

在商科里读懂“有温度的专业”

Finding Her Calling，Discovering the Human Side of Business and Accounting

关于专业方向的选择，一方面源于Dale多年生活观察与自我思考的沉淀，另一方面离不开学校升学团队的引导——团队从接触她之初便将方向锁定在商科，通过一系列活动帮助她逐步探索自己真正热爱的细分领域，最终锚定了会计专业。

从小看着父母将一间小作坊一步步经营成正规企业，她常常深夜看见母亲伏案整理财务报表。年幼的她曾不解，为什么财务工作琐碎枯燥，却必须一丝不苟。母亲的一番话，深深烙印在她心里：“这些数字能反映企业经营是否健康，也能确保每位员工按时领到薪水。”

那一刻，Dale彻底打破了对会计“只是记账算数”的浅层认知。她明白了，财务不仅是专业技能，更关乎责任、平衡与长远规划。也正因如此，她坚定了深耕会计商科的初心。她想读懂数字背后的商业逻辑、人文温度与社会价值。

这份认知在实践中不断得到印证。在校内经济课的实践中，她曾针对一家线下咖啡馆成本上涨、营收失衡的难题展开调研。和课本标准答案不同，真实经营充满变量——调价、控成本、保客流、稳人力，每一步都需要权衡取舍。这次实践让她更加笃定：财务是服务现实、解决问题的工具。

为了让专业认知落地，Dale充分利用学校丰富的社团、竞赛与实训资源，不断积累实践经历。作为Money Lover商社成员，她系统学习理财规划、预算管控、商业分析；在ASDAN商业模拟大赛中，她担任虚拟企业财务官，优化采购方案、严控预算、精准控本，助力团队斩获**投资项目银奖；在香港AIA金融实训中，她参与股票操盘与全生命周期财务模拟，拿下投资新星奖、金融精英奖。

进入申请阶段后，升学老师Connie陪她把高中三年的经历一条条捋清楚，提炼出真正的成长轨迹。她以自己对专业的理解为主线，把这几年为这个方向做过的事、走过的弯路、攒下的体悟写进文书，反反复复打磨了很多遍。最终，多所世界名校向她伸出了橄榄枝。

Dale's choice of major wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision—it grew out of years of observation and reflection, guided along the way by the school's college counseling team. From the very beginning, they had identified business as a strong fit. But business is a broad field, and through a series of carefully designed activities, they helped Dale explore its many sub-disciplines until she found the one that truly resonated with her: accounting.The seed was planted early. Growing up, Dale watched her parents turn a small workshop into a fully fledged business. She often saw her mother up late at night, poring over financial statements. As a child, she didn't understand why this work was so painstaking and meticulous. Then her mother told her: "These numbers tell you whether a business is healthy. They make sure every employee gets paid on time."That moment shifted everything. Dale realized that accounting wasn't just about keeping books and crunching numbers. It was about responsibility, balance, and long-term thinking. From then on, she knew she wanted to go beyond accurate calculations—she wanted to understand the business logic, the human stories, and the societal value behind the numbers.That conviction only grew stronger with practice. In an economics class project, she studied a local café struggling with rising costs and shrinking revenue. Unlike textbook problems, the real world was full of moving parts—price adjustments, cost control, customer retention, staff management—each requiring careful trade-offs. The experience solidified her belief: finance isn't cold math. It's a tool for solving real-world problems.To deepen her understanding, Dale made full use of the school's rich ecosystem of clubs, competitions, and experiential programs. As a member of the Money Lover business club, she learned about financial planning, budgeting, and business analysis. In the ASDAN Business Simulation, she served as CFO of a virtual manufacturing company, optimizing procurement and controlling costs to help her team win the Silver Award for Best Investment Project. At the AIA financial training program in Hong Kong, she took part in stock trading simulations and a full life-cycle budgeting exercise, earning both the Rising Star Award and the Financial Elite Award.When application season arrived, her college counselor Connie helped her map out the milestones of her high school journey and distill the real story of her growth. Dale wove that story into her personal statement—her understanding of the field, the steps she'd taken, the detours she'd made, and the insights she'd gathered along the way. She revised it again and again until it truly reflected who she was. In the end, offers came in from multiple world-renowned universities—a testament to the clarity of her vision and the depth of her commitment.
