校长寄语Welcome Letter

欢迎来到嘉德圣玛丽苏州学校。作为校长，我荣幸地宣布，嘉德圣玛丽将于2017年9月在苏州开办我们的新校区，面向中国学生提供7、8、9、10年级的课程。目前我校正在接受入学申请，第一批招生已经完成，反响热烈，但2017学年仍有就读名额。

Welcome to Shattuck-St. Mary’s-Suzhou.   As the founding Head of School, I am pleased to announce that in September of 2017, Shattuck-St. Mary’s will open our new campus in Suzhou to offer Chinese students in grade 7,8,9, and 10.  We are currently accepting applications for admission, and while there has been strong interest in the school and our first round of enrollment is complete, we still have spaces available in all grades for September of 2017.

　　我校将以嘉德圣玛丽美国本校为范本，为高中部学生开设美国课程，包括AP课程和进阶课程。我校毕业生将获得“嘉德圣玛丽苏州学校”文凭，该文凭被美国、加拿大、英国和其他英语国家的高校认可。初中部的学生会学习国内义务教育课程，但是我们会格外注重英语口语和写作课程。

SSM-SZ will offer our High School students an American curriculum modeled on the program of study offered at Shattuck-St. Mary’s-USA.  SSM-SZ will offer both AP and advanced level courses and students will earn a Shattuck-St. Mary’s – Suzhou diploma that will be recognized by colleges and universities in America, Canada, UK, and other English speaking countries.   In preparation for the High School curriculum, our Middle School students will undertake the Chinese Compulsory Curriculum with added emphasis on English speaking and writing. 

　　请浏览我校官网，以获取更多关于本次独特机遇的信息。同时，我也邀请您前来参加我校的开放日活动。我们期待能有机会与您相见，能带您参观我们的新校园。嘉德圣玛丽是美国最古老也最优秀的寄宿学校之一，159年来，我们致力于帮助学生在大学取得成功，培养他们对终生学习的热爱。现在，中国学生在苏州就能享受到和在美国本校一样的机遇！

Please take a look at our website to learn more about this unique opportunity.  Also, I invite you to attend one of our Open Days this spring.   We look forward to an opportunity to meet you and hope to see you on our campus for a visit.  Shattuck-St. Mary’s is among America’s oldest and finest boarding schools, and for 159 years we have been preparing students for success in university and life-long love of learning.  Now, Chinese students can enjoy this same opportunity right here in Suzhou!

Sincerely yours,

Gregg Maloberti, Ed.D.

Head of School
