亲爱的美国夢沃学校(上海)的家长们：
我将给你们介绍一个令人振奋的新的游学项目。今年十月的国庆节期间，我们将与美国一所顶尖的、致力于提升学生领导力的世界领导力学院(World Leadership School)合作，展开一场印度之旅。
这样的游学项目，将会深远地影响学生的世界观，和他们看待自己目标和志向的方式。更为重要的是，这对培养他们的自信心、决断力和领导力技能也大有裨益。他们需要尽早意识到这些技能的重要性。
大学教育对这些技能的重视，远远超过分数或传统的学术项目。大学招生官会问起这些问题：“这个学生能够面临挑战吗?他能在一个充满变数的、跨文化的环境中工作吗?他能向这个世界提出一些聪明的问题吗?”而正是参加类似“印度之旅”游学项目的经历，能让他们有信心回答：“能!”
更进一步说，事实上，很少有来自中国(甚至美国)的学生能够拥有如此的机遇，而正是这些让他们在申请大学时，变得非常突出。在申学过程中，突出差异是第一目标：你有多独特?是什么让你变得独特?每年有成千上万的学生来申请，是什么让你成为一个非常有趣的、有才华的申请者?
不论是一篇独特的、富有表现力的论文，还是一场充满激情的关于你专业或兴趣的谈论，都不可与此相比：一个现实世界的杰出事例，一段集中而鲜活的十一天“印度之旅”这样的学习项目。
个人来说，2012年春天，当我在布鲁克林工作的时候，我参与组织了在印度的世界领导力学院的第一期项目。我亲眼目睹这个项目是怎样不可思议地塑造了那些学生。它让他们深入了解自身，发掘自己的天赋和长处，树立信心。回到学校后，这些学生变得更专注，获得更高的分数;同时有了清晰的大学目标，他们后来申请大学都非常顺利。
不像很多“服务”或“志愿”类项目，世界领导力学院及其团队为参与者设计高质量的学术和领导力项目。参与者汲取知识、贡献力量，同时进行反馈。世界领导力学院与美国一些最为出色、筛选最为严格的学校合作，一直以来，名声在外。它是至今为止能够为年轻人提供如此难得的机会的最好组织。
上海美国梦沃学校极其幸运地成为中国第一所(也是美国本土以外第一所)与世界领导力学院合作的学校。他们已经创造了一系列的成功记录，就我所知，这所全球性的教育组织有着最高的安保水平，以及受过最佳训练的专业员工。我为能够帮助“梦沃”学子争取这样一个机会而激动不已，同时我也知道，这个项目将意味着我校在对外合作上，有了一个非常顺利、令人惊喜的开端。
接下来我们将会提供关于这个项目的详细信息，如果你有什么问题，欢迎联系我们。

Dear MVA Shanghai Parents I’m writing to introduce an exciting new travel program that we’ll offer during the National Days holiday this October: a trip to India in partnership with the World Leadership School a U.S.-d leader in student enrichment programs.
The experiences students have in programs like this profoundly shape their views of the world and their perspectives about their own goals and ambitions and most importantly help them to develop the confidence determination and leadership skills they need to begin realizing those goals.
Colleges and universities deeply value these skills—far more than test scores or even traditional academic programs. When colleges ask the question “Can this student overcome challenges? Can they work in a dynamic inter-cultural environment? Do they ask smart questions about their world?” —it is the experience provided in a program like this that gives colleges the confidence to say “Yes!”
Further so few students from China (or even in the U.S.) have opportunities like this it really sets them apart in the application process. Differentiation is the #1 goal in the application process: how are you unique what makes you special? Amongst the tens of thousands of Chinese students applying each year what has made you a particularly interesting and capable applicant?
Whether it’s writing a truly unique expressive essay or being able to talk about your major or areas of interest with passion and great real-world examples the intensive lived experience of an eleven-day program like this can’t be matched.
Speaking personally I helped lead World Leadership School’s first program in India in the spring of 2012 when I worked in Brooklyn. I saw how incredibly it shaped those students how much they learned about themselves and the strength and confidence they gained. They came back to school more focused and got better grades; they had goals for college and were very successful in their application process.
Unlike many “service” or “volunteer” programs World Leadership School partners with communities and develops the best quality academic and leadership programs for trip participants. Students learn they contribute and they reflect. WLS works with some of the very best and most selective schools in the United States and has a reputation for being by far the best organization that provides such opportunities for young people.
We’re truly extremely luck to be the first school in China—the first school outside the U.S. in fact—to partner with World Leadership School. They have a proven record of success have the highest safety and security standards and the best-trained and most professional staff of any global educational organization I know of. I’m thrilled to have been able to help organize this opportunity for our students and know that this trip will be the start of a successful and rewarding partnership for our school.
The following trip details offer a great deal of information about the program though if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely
