教育理念:

(一)培養以EQ方法解決問題及處世、與人共處的能力
(二)運用科技的能力
(三)中西並用,走向世界,讓世界走進來
(四)教育學生成為靜以修心,儉以養德的理想「人」

「學」是研究,累積知識;「習」是不斷學習——自動自覺,自省自思的,包括心靈的根本轉變和運作,人透過學習重新創作自我,了解世界和人的關係以擴展創造未來的前景。

Taipei-Observation of English lessons

Angela Tang

All the schools were unique in terms of their campus design, utilization of resources and eduational goals. Yet, they all gave me the same impression - from prinicipal to staff,k they are all enthusiastic, sincere and dedicated, upholding students' interest as their top priority. The most impressivething was that professionalism was displayed in the periodic school magazines in which students' works and activities in different aspects as well as teachers' articles of personal perspectives and academic research papers were published.

Students' activities and curiculum were diversified and innovative. The typical one was Taipei Wego Private Senior High School, whose belief is that 'no children are school failure'. Every effort was made to provide students with a successful experience by respecting individual's uniqueness and differences. Students were encouraged to explore their own values and goals in life by discarding the traditional andrigid thinking model. We paid a visit to the Primary section of this school first. Reciting quality classics of both Chinese and English involving added rhythm is emphasized. The kids of Primary 2 and 3 showed off their reciting skills in the mist of enjoyment. There were researches to support th efact that such reciting could enhance kids' brain development and their writing of articles showed a high degree of maturity.

To enhance students' foreign language competence, life skills and potentials, Wego Senior High School designed the exclusive 'Mountain Programme' for the students, involving a one-day excursion to the nearby Yang Ming Mountain(陽明山) to experience the nature with their foreign teachers from all over the world. Summer programmes were also available, including a series of international courses with overseas universities to expand students' global vision as well as strengthen their command of English. The use of IT had its important role to play in the school curriculum as a tool of learning and keeping the students abreast of the latest development of information. It was amazing that by the end of the school year, every student received a VCD in which his or her whole year's school life was recorded! Nobody would invest such resources, if they had no concern for the students.
