testimony
“Hi, I am Alice Xu from Shanghai, China, and this is my second year with Learning Beyond Academy. I am so blessed to join LBA for this wonderful journey combining online study, live classes, music lessons, and so much more! Here in LBA, we start the day with assembly when students and teachers gather together to sing and learn about character traits. My classmates and I usually spend the morning studying online individually or under the assistance of our learning coach. Before lunch, I usually practice piano. We have special classes like PE, art, music, and character studies throughout the week as well. We have group tutoring for Science and Math on a weekly basis. I have also been given the opportunity to be trained in the field of music and to share its beauty as a student-teacher. I desire to inspire and elevate my students to accomplish their dreams.”
嗨，我是来自于中国上海的Alice Xu，这是我在LBA的第二年。能够加入LBA是备受祝福的，因为在这学习的旅程中包含了在线学习、班级课程、音乐课程还有其他更多！在LBA，我们一天学习的开始是学生和老师聚集一起歌唱和学习个性特质。通常，我的同学和我在早上自己学习或者在学习辅导员的帮助下学习。午餐前，我通常都会练习钢琴。我们每周内也有特别课程例如体育课、艺术、音乐和个性学习。我们每周就科学和数学有小组辅导。我也被赋予机会培训成为学生老师，在音乐领域内分享音乐的美。我期待启示和鼓舞我的学生完成他们的梦想。
“Shi Yang has been in the high school division of LBA since September 2015. To the high school students, LBA is like a warm home. LBA promotes flexible learning methods and provides a variety of inside and outside class activities to the students. The regular orphanage visits organized by the school are especially meaningful in helping my child learn what true love is. As parents, we are very thankful for the support the school and its faculty have given Shi Yang for his performing activities. Yang started learning the violin at the age of three, and in recent years, has held concerts in Beijing, Suzhou, Shanghai, Taipei, and various cities in Japan. He has also gone to Japan and Europe for master classes. It is Keystone’s special teaching methods that have availed Yang of more time to practice, more opportunity to perform, and the autonomy to arrange his courses. As parents of the first group of high school students, we are grateful to LBA for their support and the space they are giving to our child to grow, and we hope to see more kids join this warm family.”
石阳是去年9月进入LBA的高中部学习的。对他们来说，LBA就像是温暖的家。灵活的学习方式，以及丰富多彩的课内外活动，尤其是经常性的孤儿院访问活动使孩子们学到了什么是真正的关爱。而且作为家长我们特别感谢学校及班主任老师和其他任课老师对石阳演奏活动的大力支持，石阳3岁起学习小提琴，近年来常于苏州、上海、台北、日本演出，也要常常到欧洲去参加大师班课程，正因为是Keystone的学习方式才使石阳有更多的练琴、演出的可能，同时有更多的自主安排课程的可能。作为第一届高中生的家长，除了感谢LBA给孩子极大的空间及支持以外，也期待更多的孩子可以加入到LBA这个温暖的家庭中来。
