“Learning for the Future” (May 2): Helping Parents and Teachers Better Understand the Implementation of International Education in International Schools

This seminar invited experts from Switzerland, the United States, and Taiwan with years of experience in international education to analyze the benefits and necessity of implementing international curricula from the perspectives of global trends, adolescent development, and social sustainability.

The Swiss expert emphasized that implementing international education is not a simple task, but it is more feasible within international schools. The American expert pointed out that in a rapidly changing and uncertain world, international curricula guide students to develop critical thinking, communication, self-management, social, and research skills to better cope with the future.

The seminar also referenced OECD research to analyze curriculum designs that better meet contemporary needs. Traditional curricula that are “a mile wide and an inch deep” result in fragmented knowledge. In contrast, international curricula based on conceptual learning and inquiry methods can address these shortcomings. Learning in an international environment and in collaboration with a global learning community fosters international perspectives, leading students toward competency-based learning and becoming lifelong learners.
