谈到启明星获奖，Williams校长说：

启明星的教育事业并非以追求排名为动力。相反，我们专注于为学生培养发展智力和道德品质的环境，为他们赋能，使他们能够为身边社区和更广阔的世界带来积极的影响。这种教育路径可能并不总是符合传统的排名标准，但它构成了我们教育理念的核心。当然，如果它获得大家认可，这也是值得庆祝的——更重要的是，这是让我们与其他志同道合的教育机构进行有意义对话的机会。

虽然我们感谢外界的认可，但它不会成为我们前路的束缚。我们依然致力于自己的使命：教育学生的良好品格，促进社会创新，培养我们的学生成为变革的推动者。我们的社区——家长、学生和教职员工——的不懈努力和奉献精神才真正定义了我们的成功。

作为中国第一所在全学龄段开设社会创新项目的学校，生动、鲜活的学习故事每天都在这里发生。欢迎关注！

Daystar is the first school in China to create a K-12 Social Innovation Program to cultivate students to be social innovators - able to deeply care, connect and take practical actions to solve social and environmental problems using novel solutions in communities and beyond. Daystar has created a unique educational model through the holisticSocial Innovation Curriculum, Social Innovation Program Resources and Social Innovation Events,where students feel empowered to act with a purpose to apply their learning to create a more equitable, sustainable and united world, and in doing so complement their learnings in other areas of our curriculum.

Speaking with passion on the need for our students and our communities to jointly address both local and global issues using novel approaches, he made a deep impression on the audience.

While talking about Daystar’s recognition by KingLead, Mr. Williams said,

Our journey at Daystar is not driven by a pursuit of rankings. Instead, we focus on creating an environment that nurtures intellectual and moral development, empowering our students to positively impact their communities and the wider world. This approach may not always align with traditional ranking criteria, but it forms the core of our educational philosophy. If it results in recognition, then that's to be welcomed and celebrated. Being recognized provides us not just with a reason to celebrate, but more importantly, to engage in meaningful dialogue with other like-minded educational institutions. It allows us to share and learn from others who see innovation, rather than adherence to tradition alone, as a pathway to educational excellence.

While we appreciate the external acknowledgment, it does not dictate our path forward. We remain committed to our mission: to educate for character, foster social innovation, and prepare our students to be agents of change.The relentless effort and dedication of our community—parents, students, and staff—truly define our success.”

As the first school in China to offer Social Innovation Program throughout K-12, vivid learning stories happen at Daystar every day. We welcome you to follow us!
