Holistic education begins at the First Writing Ceremony. The General Principal taught the students the purposes of holding the First Writing Ceremony with solemn ceremonies. Firstly, we hope that our students can understand that admission in school marks a milestone in life and also a starting point for learning and becoming a talented person. Secondly, we expect students to enjoy the excellent Chinese traditional culture of respecting teachers, parents, and studying diligently in the infiltration of Confucian culture and under the inspiration of sage thought. It’s believed that Soochow Foreign Language School will surely become a great platform for children's development and the cradle for their happy growth.
