塞威克利区是匹兹堡周边范围内教育水平质量很高的一个区,住在这里的家长普遍生活水平较高,教育程度也偏高,与塞威克利学院相得益彰。塞威克利学院的高中部约有300多人,分为8座教学楼共占面积16英亩,另有额外的14英亩用做体育场,同时学校也提供大量体育奖学金。
塞威克利学院作为匹兹堡精英合校之一,坚信4个理念:性格,教育的活力,多样性,和社团。学校社团精神很强,经常和当地的作者,演讲者,表演者联合举办各种文化展和活动,在当地颇有名气。学校很多资源都对外公开,其中以该校图书馆最为出名,采访者众多,可以说学习运行着非常前进的教育项目。学校的开设的AP课程,以及社团的紧密融入,都促进了其教育项目的发展,也使得整个塞威克利学院的教育更有持续性。

厚仁寄语
WholeRen’s maxim, “Bringing Two Great Nations Together, One Student at a Time”, captures the essence of its mission to serve the educational needs and aspirations of families and educators in the USA and China while enhancing those experiences and involving highly reputed educational organizations and individuals. This mission is predicated on meeting the needs of the individual student by utilizing the best aspects of Eastern and Western educational precepts, and making the success of the learner the highest priority.
WholeRen aspires to continue to help Chinese students and families benefit from education and experiences available in America, and develop and execute plans and activities that satisfy participants. WholeRen foresees increased American interest in Chinese experiences and being desirous of opportunities to explore and learn in a Chinese environment as well. Exchanges and visits will be more mutual and involve more American students from middle school through graduate school in China. There will be an evolving need to create follow-up services, and design support that sustains students and reassures families to insure safe and fulfilling transitions. WholeRen is creating a network of honorable relationships with organizations which can be trusted and networking with partners to round out support and services likely to be needed by increasing numbers of students.
The five key things that really drive results for Wholeren are: student success, satisfied families, feedback from previous clients, requests from educational organizations, and services tailored for individuals and institutions.
