上個(gè)周末，我們的北皋校區(qū)有點(diǎn)“滿”——

來(lái)自北京德威英國(guó)國(guó)際學(xué)校、北京順義國(guó)際學(xué)校、清華大學(xué)附屬中學(xué)國(guó)際部、北京市鼎石學(xué)校、深圳愛(ài)文學(xué)校等全國(guó)各地近40所學(xué)校的約150位教育者來(lái)到啟明星，參加 2026年度NESSIC雙語(yǔ)學(xué)校大會(huì)。

大家圍繞“聚·啟·賦”主題，交流和發(fā)掘新的、適合自己的教學(xué)理念和方法。

• NESSIC是為中國(guó)私立雙語(yǔ)學(xué)校賦能的非營(yíng)利組織

• 成立2年已經(jīng)有30多所學(xué)校加入

• 啟明星學(xué)校是NESSIC聯(lián)合發(fā)起者之一

• 啟明星總校長(zhǎng)Daniel Williams擔(dān)任其顧問(wèn)委員會(huì)主席

| 嘉賓的話 |

“這些年，啟明星在國(guó)內(nèi)的影響力不斷提升，部分原因就是我們?cè)跇?gòu)建學(xué)校聯(lián)盟（如 NESSIC）中發(fā)揮了引領(lǐng)作用。同時(shí)，我們的教師也越來(lái)越多地在全國(guó)和亞洲各地的會(huì)議上進(jìn)行分享和舉辦工作坊。

這次會(huì)議有很多我感興趣的話題，但是作為一名管理者，我最關(guān)注的是行業(yè)趨勢(shì)，也就是雙語(yǔ)學(xué)校的數(shù)量，它們呈現(xiàn)出怎樣的發(fā)展態(tài)勢(shì)，是如何發(fā)展的，采用了哪些課程內(nèi)容和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。本次會(huì)議有很多這方面的專家。”

——Daniel Williams博士

NESSIC顧問(wèn)委員會(huì)創(chuàng)始主席

“每一位老師、每一位管理者、每一位來(lái)到中國(guó)的外籍人士，都相信專業(yè)發(fā)展的價(jià)值，都想讓自己在工作中變得更好。這也是 NESSIC 發(fā)揮巨大作用的地方。作為一個(gè)專注于專業(yè)發(fā)展的組織，NESSIC是可以提供交流的平臺(tái)。”

——Tom Ulmet

NESSIC首席執(zhí)行官

“在一個(gè)改變中的世界、一個(gè)改變中的中國(guó)，包括我們現(xiàn)在這樣一個(gè)所謂的AI時(shí)代，我們作為教育者應(yīng)該承擔(dān)什么樣的角色？我們不光是不要被替代，我們還要發(fā)揮能動(dòng)性。

所以這次會(huì)議，我主要想通過(guò)幫助大家了解歷史和現(xiàn)狀當(dāng)中的語(yǔ)言發(fā)展，讓大家一起發(fā)揮作用，共同努力，改變或是塑造一個(gè)更好的語(yǔ)言教育未來(lái)。”

On March 14th and 15th, the past weekend,

our Beigao Campus was brimming with energy ——

Educators from nearly 40 schools across China—including Dulwich College Beijing, International School of Beijing, Tsinghua University High School International Division, Keystone Academy, and Avenues Shenzhen—gathered at Daystar for the 2026 NESSIC Bilingual School Conference.

Centered around the theme ofConnect·Inspirie·Empower, nearly 150 participants came together to exchange ideas and explore new, personalized educational philosophies and approaches.

• NESSIC is a non-profit organization empowering private bilingual schools in China.

• Since its establishment two years ago, more than 30 schools have joined it.

• Daystar Academy is one of the co-founders of NESSIC.

• And Dr Daniel Williams, the Executive Head of Schools at Daystar Academy, serves as the Founding President of its Advisory Board.

| Words from the Guests |

"In recent years, Daystar Academy's influence in China has been steadily growing, partly because we have taken a leading role in building school networks (such as NESSIC). At the same time, our teachers are increasingly sharing insights and conducting workshops at conferences across China and Asia.

There are many topics at this conference that interest me. But as a school leader, what I care about most are the industry trends: the number of bilingual schools, their development momentum, how they are evolving, and what curriculum content and standards they are adopting. This conference brings together many experts in these areas."

——Daniel Williams, Executive Head of Schools, Daystar Academy & Founding President of the NESSIC Advisory Board

"Every teacher, every school leader, and every foreign professional coming to China believes in the value of professional development and strives to excel in their work. This is where NESSIC plays an enormous role. As an organization focused on professional development, NESSIC provides a platform for exchange and communication."

——Tom Ulmet, Chief Executive Officer, NESSIC

"It is a changing world, a changing China including that we are now in the so-called AI era. As educators, what role should we play. We should not only avoid being replaced but also we must exert our initiative.

So mainly I want to share with you through history, the current situation and the understanding of language development. So that everyone can play a role to work together to change or shape a better future for language education."

——Dr. Pan Lin, Associate Professor, Vice-chair of English Department, at Beijing Normal University & Keynote Speaker, NESSIC Conference

All In for the Conference

This was the first time Daystar Academy hosted a large-scale national education conference, and the school's frontline teachers participated with great enthusiasm.

It is this long-standing open attitude and continuous exchange that keeps our community inspired and equipped with new knowledge and motivation.

"I presented at two workshops: the first one with Zoe Liu from a high school in Shanghai. We were delighted to share the differences between recommendation letters for universities in the US and the UK with everyone. The audience asked many excellent questions.

The second workshop I participated in was with Francis Miller from a high school in Xi'an. We discussed professional ethics in university counseling, covering both communication with students and collaboration with universities."

——Dr. Melissa Warehall, Director of College Counseling, Daystar Academy

"My presentation focused on trauma-informed education. Many people told me they were glad to see a new perspective emerging in education: the trauma-informed perspective - one that truly focuses on building connections and relationships, creating a supportive learning environment for students, and enabling them to fulfill their full potential."

——Janice Stewart-Yates, Elementary English Teacher, Daystar Academy

"This presentation was a great opportunity for me to share some of the teaching methods we use at Daystar.

These methods are aligned with the science of reading and can help all multilingual learners develop their reading skills effectively."

——Dr. Stacy Andell, Executive Elementary School Principal, Daystar Academy Sanlitun Campus

Our students and parents also took part in the conference.

Bayan Changizi and Jihan Huang, Grade 11 students, delivered keynote speeches. Carson Yuan, a Grade 10 student, represented Daystar at the student panel.

The students spoke with poise and confidence that was truly inspiring.

Other students took on roles as greeters and hosts, and they performed the opening show together with parents.

The warm and welcoming community atmosphere left a profound impression on all the guests.

"I have visited hundreds of schools around the world. What impresses me most is that Daystar Academy truly understands what a community is.

From the wonderful atmosphere on campus in the early morning, to the amazing opening show by parents at this conference, and then to the two insightful student presentations, all of these fully demonstrate that Daystar Academy has truly united teachers, parents and students to build a genuine and warm school community."

——Greg Smith, Vice President- International School Services (ISS) & Special Board Advisor: NESSIC
