AN INNOVATIVE SCHOOL WITH GLOBAL INFLUENCE
This is the mission of educators to nurture ideals in a great city, and develop the school as a carrier of education to coexist and integrate with community, and thereby promoting the progress of civilization. This is also an interpretation on the expectation of a city for a school.
In order to realize this vision, the Mountain Education Group has cooperated with global educational resources to set up schools in different cities and build a diversified global education network, aiming to light up the future for each student. Fortunately, Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou is founded in the beautiful and millennium-old Suzhou through the cooperation with Kingston Grammar School with a history of five centuries. As the second school in China established by Mountain Education Group, it is a 15-year integrated school and a truly innovative school.

GLOBAL DOUBLE TEN EDUCATION BUILDING
Sukhomlinskii, a famous educator of the former Soviet Union, once said: "Education with the environment, the surrounding situation created by students and everything rich in collective spiritual life is a delicate field in the process of education." With a deep understanding of such concept, Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou takes the campus as an important educational resource and gives full play to its educational function in all fields.
Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou is designed with the concept of modernity and openness, which fully integrates innovation, technology, humanities, education and thinking into the architecture. Since its inception, the architectural design of the school has been included in the Chinese buildings to look forward to in 2022 by the "Dezeen", the internationally authoritative architecture and design magazine.
As suggested by Thornburg, a futurologist, four learning scenes of "campfire", "water source", "cave" and "life" are integrated into the campus of Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou. Students can listen to the lectures of famous teachers in the Grand Theater, and also learn from each other in large or small clusters scattered on the campus, as well think deeply in the two huge "rockery" caves built in the teaching building to complete the internalization of knowledge.
PASTORAL CARE (LITERACY NOTES AND GROWTH BROCHURE) CONSTITUTES HOLISTIC EDUCATION
In the Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou, the campus study and life of all students have been recorded in their own "Literacy Notes" and "Growth Brochure" since their entrance tests.
"Literacy Notes" will record all changes in the studies of students, which is conducive to planning the future studies for students.
"Growth Brochure" will allow us to have a full understanding on hobbies and living habits of students, so as to better provide the competence-based teaching for students, and stimulate their own initiative of learning. The wonderful moments of students in school will be recorded and updated in "Literacy Notes" and "Growth Brochure".
TUTORIAL SYSTEM
The moral education mode of "tutorial system" is adopted in the Mountain Kingston Bilingual School Suzhou to improve the communication efficiency between parents and faculty, and better implement the modern education concept of holistic education, whole process education and all-round education. In the system, all students will have their own tutors who can provide all-round support for students' growth, provide the competence-based teaching for students according to their personalities, and guide the students in thoughts, learning and life.
In Suzhou, a millennium-old capital with hope, the ideal of education will take root and be passed down from generation to generation. In September 2022, we will witness the birth of this innovative school together.
