"I can feel that the Far East Horizon has been dedicated to education!"

On 25 March, Wang Jue, deputy district chief of Putuo District of Shanghai, along with the leaders of the District Education Bureau and the District Confidential Bureau, inspected the Shanghai campus of Hongwen School, a flagship school under Far East Horizon. He conducted in-depth research on the faculty, management system and logistical support of the campus, and had cordial talks with Wang Ruisheng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and vice president of Far East Horizon.

1. In terms of fine management: "Hongwen has established a sound management system.”

The symposium was presided over by Zhan Jing, assistant president of Far East Horizon. First of all, Vice President Wang Ruisheng delivered a welcoming speech to warmly greet Deputy District Chief Wang Jue and his retinue. Xu Huibin, general manager of the company's strategy center, introduced the development of Far East Horizon, the sponsor of the Hongwen School. Ren Guofang, chief principal of Horizon Education, explained the status of Hongwen School in detail. After the meeting, Deputy District Chief Wang Jue visited the Shanghai campus of Hongwen School.

"Safety is the basic guarantee for students." Deputy District Chief Wang Jue stressed the importance of safety to school management. This is exactly what Hongwen School has always worked hard to ensure. The first aspect is food safety. The leaders of Putuo District Government and their retinue were deeply impressed by Hongwen Canteen. Hongwen Canteen and the canteen of Far East Horizon Headquarter are of one source, and the selection of materials for Hongwen Canteen even takes precedence over the canteen of Far East Horizon Headquarter. Relying on the standardized and advanced catering service system of the headquarters and supported by scientific cooking methods and fine management system, Hongwen School has provided children with all kinds of delicious food made from fresh raw materials, which come from Shanghai Chongming's 600 mu self-owned base to ensure a wholesome matching of ingredients. In different seasons, the school will also hold traditional food activities with dumplings, zongzi and other seasonal foods as the theme to integrate Chinese food culture into children's daily education.

"We try our best to make children happy and parents rest assured!" Vice President Wang Ruisheng said that in addition to catering services, Hongwen School's security, equipment operation and maintenance, environmental cleaning, gardening and other logistics teams are all operated and managed independently by Far East Horizon, adhering to the same standards as the headquarter. For children whose parents both employed, Hongwen School also provides warm and safe accommodation services and 24-hour nanny care to help eliminate the "worries" of parents. "Safety is the bottom line of development, and health and safety are the prerequisite for children to thrive. We spare no efforts to offer our children a better environment. "

After visiting the fencing hall, handicraft workshop and other venues, Deputy District Chief Wang Jue said that classroom safety, especially during the epidemic period, is the foundation for building a "safe campus". The Far East Horizon has performed well in this regard and is worth learning from many schools.

2. In terms of campus environment: "Hongwen boasts a picturesque campus environment."

It was a sunny day and the campus was full of the beauty of spring. With the warm spring breeze, the campus was gay with blossoms of every bue. The visiting leaders were attracted by the vigorous and graceful gardens in Hongwen campus, such as the 400-year-old fraxinus chinensis and the 200-year-old yacca. Along the river bank, the grass was luxuriant, children played in the playground, the pond was alive with fish, the vegetable garden was opened up for experience. All the places are steeped in traditional Chinese culture and art, which can cultivate students' mind. The visiting leaders also spoke highly of the campus design.

There is a pool in canoe teaching hall, which is unique to Hongwen School. Although the school had not yet started, one could vaguely imagine Hongwen's children canoeing on the pool. Deputy District Chief Wang Jue said in great interest, "In the future, Hongwen's students can also compete with our students in Putuo District."

Walking to the gate of the campus, Deputy District Chief Wang Jue was attracted by the "dry landscape" with Chinese cultural characteristics. It is reported that the implication of "dry landscape" is to make students concentrate on study after entering the campus, and at the same time to create a quiet and elegant campus environment for children.

3. In terms of purpose of Education: "The Far East Horizon has given much thought to education."

Far East Horizon has a history of running schools for 10 years, covering the whole period from kindergarten to higher education and forming a global network of schools. Today, it is the trusted choice of 3,000 elite families, with a total of more than 600 graduates entering top international universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. In addition, Far East Horizon has also promoted the education industry in various forms and channels. The Far East Student Assistance Program has aided more than 1,600 students, while the Far East Scholarship Program has supported more than 20 universities and more than 8,000 students, with a subsidy amount of more than RMB 10 million. Chief Principal Ren Guofang said, in accordance to the tenets of "people-oriented, integrating Chinese and Western, elite education", Hong Wen School has been fully respecting the differences of students, tapping the potential of students, focusing on the development of their strength, and cultivating students' mind and noble sentiment, with Chinese traditional excellent culture as the main body and western education concepts as the supplements, to cultivate elite talents with social contribution, scientific innovation and global competitiveness. In terms of teaching aspects, Hongwen School will continue to enroll international talents, improve the quality of teachers, and stick to small-class teaching with 15-20 students in a class. At the same time, it will make full use of Far East Horizon's rich industrial customer resources to create various industrial practice opportunities for students. In terms of non-teaching aspects, it will rely on the systematic ability of the company's headquarters to form absolute advantages and characteristics in catering, property, gardening, security and other aspects. Far East Horizon, through running its own school, has attracted the children of overseas-returnee entrepreneurial talents, eliminated the worries of children's education for high-end talents, continuously helped Shanghai's educational development, strived to improve the local business environment as well as the level of social services, devoted itself to becoming a supporting base for international talents, gathered talents in Shanghai and retained talents to build a better Shanghai. Deputy District Chief Wang Jue said that, in terms of the investment on teachers, the construction of management system and the campus environment, Far East Horizon has given much thought to running a school.

It is worth mentioning that over the years, the Shanghai-based Far East Horizon has a close connection with Putuo District Government. At the beginning of 2017, Far East Horizon set up a financial leasing company in Putuo District. Over the past three years, its asset, income and tax contribution have achieved rapid growth. In addition, Far East Horizon has also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Putuo District, which has achieved good government-enterprise linkage in many fields. "Thank the Far East Horizon for its hard work and dedication over the years!" Deputy District Chief Wang Jue said, "I hope I can visit the Far East Horizon more frequently and look forward to more cooperation opportunities in the future!"
