上海美国学校九年级学生Sherissa写道：“2018年9月，上海美国学校浦东校区全体九年级新生参加了为期五天的校外活动，走出我们的气泡城市，融入到外面的文化和世界中。作为参加TheNine项目的第一届学生。我们体验到了从未见到过或听说过的事情：傩舞戏、几百年来一直保持着建筑美感的俞村以及这里的人们赖以生存的农耕生活。
For Sherissa and her class, TheNine is high school’s first chapter. In Wuyuan, China, our students spent the week learning more about themselves and their peers, while identifying goals to lay the foundation for their four-year high school story ahead. Yet while cultivating this grade-level identity and building connections to their curriculum, they also looked thoughtfully at what it means to be a young person, an SAS student, in the cultural context of China. “Through many nights of reflection time, the teachers provided us with many probing questions,” says Sherissa.In looking at “the stories that make up our world, and the narratives that really tell us how much we’re losing,” they examined their roles in the turning wheels of history.
对于Sherissa及其同学来说，TheNine项目是高中生活的第一个篇章。在中国江西婺源，我们的学生在一周的时间里深入了解他们自己以及他们的同学，找到他们未来四年高中生活的目标。在培养这种年级认同感与建立课程之间联系的同时，他们还仔细思考了在中国作为一位年轻人，作为一位上海美国学校学生的意义。Sherissa表示：“很多个晚上在进行了自我反思之后，老师们向我们提出了很多引人深思的问题。”通过了解“组成我们世界的故事以及让我们真正认识到自己正在失去什么的叙述”，他们重新审视了自己在推动历史车轮的进程中所扮演的角色。
And so TheNine brought greater focus, and also a wider view for our freshman class at the Pudong campus. Take a peek at how high school began at SAS this year, a journey that only grows from here.
由此一来，TheNine项目让我们浦东校区的九年级新生学习更加专注，视野更加开阔。快来看看他们是怎么开启自己在上海美国学校的高中生活的吧，一切都始于此。
