"A tree shakes another tree, a cloud chases another cloud, and a soul awakens another soul." This is the exposition of the philosopher Jaspers on the essence of education, which is widely quoted by people.
"Education with soul, people with soul." The leading group of Xiangxian Middle School focused its educational vision on the essence and soul of education, and then established the concept of "adhering to moral education", taking "enlightening wisdom, improving humanistic quality, forming a sound personality and establishing a positive life" as the starting point to promote the strategic direction of education with the soul as the core.
To run an education with a soul and establish a school with a soul is to "have a leading educational concept, an efficient school-running mechanism, distinctive school-running characteristics and outstanding teacher characteristics, so that students' specialties can be known", that is, to cultivate students with a soul, return to the true nature of education and highlight local characteristics.
The best education is idle education: students can't see education happening, but it does affect their minds and help them develop their potential. This is the best education in the world. Rousseau, an enlightenment thinker, said in his masterpiece Emile.
Courses and classrooms are the main positions for students to learn knowledge. Xiangxian Middle School has established a curriculum system of "virtuous culture" integrating national curriculum, local curriculum and school-based curriculum, closely following the three gradients of virtuous culture education, and creating three major courses of "virtuous, virtuous and virtuous". By integrating school culture into characteristic courses, students can become psychologically harmonious, sustainable and beneficial to society.
Education with soul is not only reflected in the classroom, but also in extracurricular activities and theme class meetings. All the details, all the manners, all the sounds, all the performances and even the flowing air on campus will become the sunshine and rain for children to grow into a "person".
