择校如拆盲盒？

他pick法拉古特的理由太真实

Tristan 的国际教育之路始于小学时萌生的留学想法，五年级寒假的美国之旅像一颗种子，让这份想法在心里疯狂扎根。中学时期，为了寻觅一条更贴合成长需求的路径，他与家人将目光投向了通往世界的教育新航道，期望在多元文化交融的土壤里，铺就更具国际视野的成长轨迹。

走访多所学校后，法拉古特成了他心中的 “天选”—— 亲和的老师像朋友，积极的学风里看不到压抑，丰富的活动和课程更是让人眼花缭乱。“这里没有刻板的约束，却有自由探索的空间；没有单一的评价标准，却有对个性的尊重。”

入学后，现实比想象更惊喜。分层教学（Standard 和 Honors）像为他量身打造的 “成长阶梯”，擅长的学科能挑战Honors课程往上冲，薄弱的领域通过 Standard课程稳稳保住 GPA；美高课程的弹性设计更让他告别了 “一考定生死” 的焦虑，作业、小测、月考等多维度构成的GPA体系，给了他试错和慢慢变好的底气。

正如他所说：“法拉古特的课程不是‘逼你完美’，而是‘帮你找到适合的节奏’。”这种包容的环境，恰好接住了那个曾经有些怯懦的少年，让他在舒适的节奏里慢慢舒展，活成了自己喜欢的样子。

学霸不熬夜？

他的 “反卷” 操作藏着大智慧

在学业上，Tristan 的 “反焦虑” 策略简直是一股清流。他从不在每天的细枝末节里内耗，而是习惯在学期初就画好 “成长路线图”—— 明确北美课程考试数量、标化成绩底线、GPA基准，然后一步一个脚印往前挪。

最让人惊讶的是他的备考神操作：考前一个月雷打不动完成所有课程学习，最后一个月集中火力复习，到了考前一天和考试当天？彻底放飞！听音乐、玩游戏，怎么放松怎么来。“过度刷题只会加重紧张，长期积累才是关键。” 这份从容让他在压力山大的学习中，始终能保持自己的节奏，成绩还一路稳中有升。

学业之外，羽毛球社是他高中生活的快乐源泉。从入学时连发球都发不准的 “小白”，到连任多年社长的 “扛把子”，他不仅球技突飞猛进，在组织社团活动、统筹比赛时，还练出了超强的社交和协调能力。“以前打比赛只在乎输赢，现在才懂，和队友一起思考策略、并肩奋斗的时光，比结果珍贵得多。” 这份对 “过程” 的领悟，让他在成长中多了份通透，也让那个曾经不善交际的少年，学会了在团队里闪闪发光。

从校园到世界：

他带着法拉古特的 “成长基因” 闯江湖

回顾在法拉古特的时光，Tristan 用“快乐、自信、圆满”三个词精准概括。曾经在课堂上被老师点名就脸红心跳的男孩，如今能从容和老师讨论问题，甚至大胆提出不同想法 —— 这一切都源于学校鼓励表达的氛围；从需要家长手把手规划，到能独立完成项目式作业（查资料、做 PPT、公开演讲），他的自学能力早已为大学独立生活攒足了 “技能点”。

对于即将到来的大学生活，他摩拳擦掌，期待在更广阔的天地里锤炼独立与自律；而对学弟学妹，他的建议简单又实在：“申请季别被焦虑带跑偏，保持自己的节奏最重要；选校要看‘适配度’而非排名，专业先定个大方向，到了大学再慢慢解锁细节。”

如今，Tristan 即将带着法拉古特赋予的勇气与能力奔赴海外。那个曾需要 “容错空间” 的内向少年，早已在包容与探索中长出了翅膀。他的故事印证着：成长从来不是“削足适履”，而是在适合的舞台上，逐渐成为自己向往的样子——而法拉古特，恰好提供了这样一个能自由伸展的天地。

From being invisible in class

to becoming the darling of prestigious schools?

——Tristan's Growth Formula Revealed

Tristan

Farragut Class of 2025 Graduate

Admitted to: University of California, San Diego

Tristan

During the 2025 university application season, Han Jiasuo (Tristan) from the Senior 2 class of Tianjin Farragut School's American High School program secured offers from 10 world-class universities, including: University of California at San Diego, McGill University, University of Connecticut, University of Edinburgh, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, University of Manchester, University of Liverpool, and Rutgers University.

This young man, who once dared not raise his hand in class but now confidently coordinates club activities, used his high school years at Farragut to complete his transformation from an “introvert” to a “jack-of-all-trades,” unlocking his own unique path to growth.

Choosing a school is like opening a blind box?

His reasons for choosing Farragut are so real.

Tristan's journey in international education began with the idea of studying abroad that emerged in elementary school. A trip to the United States during the fifth-grade winter break planted a seed that took root in his heart. During middle school, in search of a path more suited to his growth needs, he and his family turned their attention to a new educational path leading to the world, hoping to lay the foundation for a more internationally-minded growth trajectory in a multicultural environment.

Tristan as a child

Tristan is with his mom and dad.

After visiting several schools, Farragut became his “chosen one”—the friendly teachers were like friends, the positive academic atmosphere was free of oppression, and the rich activities and courses were dazzling. “There are no rigid constraints here, but there is space for free exploration; there are no single evaluation standards, but there is respect for individuality.”

The photo on the left shows Tristan with his homeroom teacher, Mr. Yuan, and the photo on the right shows Tristan with his foreign teacher, Ashley R.

After enrollment, reality exceeded expectations. The tiered curriculum (Standard and Honors) felt like a tailor-made “growth ladder” for him. He could challenge himself with Honors courses in his strong subjects while maintaining his GPA through Standard courses in weaker areas. The flexible design of the American high school curriculum also helped him overcome the anxiety of “one exam deciding everything.” The GPA system, composed of homework, quizzes, and monthly exams, gave him the confidence to make mistakes and improve gradually.

As he put it, “Farragut's courses don't ‘force you to be perfect,’ but rather ‘help you find the right pace.’” This inclusive environment perfectly supported the once timid teenager, allowing him to gradually unfold at a comfortable pace and become the person he wanted to be.

Are top students not staying up late?His “anti-cramming” strategy hides a great deal of wisdom.

In terms of academics, Tristan's “anti-anxiety” strategy is refreshing. He never gets bogged down in the daily details, but instead draws up a “growth roadmap” at the beginning of each semester—clearly defining the number of exams in North American courses, the minimum standardized test scores, and the GPA benchmark—and then moves forward step by step.

What was most surprising was his exam preparation strategy: he completed all his coursework without fail one month before the exam, then focused on reviewing for the last month. On the day before the exam and on the day of the exam itself? He completely let loose! He listened to music, played games, and did whatever he wanted to relax. “Overdoing practice questions only increases tension; long-term accumulation is the key.” This composure allowed him to maintain his own pace amid the intense pressure of studying, and his grades continued to rise steadily.

Tristan ranked 166th in the world in the NFS NoLimits gaming competition.

Beyond academics, the badminton club was the source of joy in his high school life. From a novice who couldn’t even serve properly when he first joined, to the club president who served multiple terms, he not only saw a dramatic improvement in his skills but also developed exceptional social and organizational abilities while planning club activities and coordinating competitions. “In the past, I only cared about winning or losing in competitions. Now I realize that the time spent strategizing with teammates and fighting side by side is far more precious than the outcome.” This understanding of the “process” has brought him a new clarity in his growth, and the once socially awkward teenager has learned to shine within the team.

From campus to the world:

He took Farragut's “growth gene” with him as he ventured out into the world.

Looking back on his time at Farragut, Tristan succinctly summarizes it with three words: “happy, confident, and fulfilled.” The boy who used to blush and feel nervous when called on by the teacher in class can now discuss issues with teachers calmly and even boldly propose different ideas—all of this stems from the school's encouraging atmosphere for expression. From needing parents to guide him step by step, to being able to independently complete project-based assignments (researching materials, creating PowerPoint presentations, and giving public speeches), his self-learning abilities have already accumulated enough “skills points” to prepare him for independent university life.

The photo above shows Tristan's passion for sailing.

The photo below shows him posing with the captain when he was 11 years old during his trip to the United States.

Looking forward to his upcoming university life, he is eager to hone his independence and self-discipline in a broader environment. For his younger peers, his advice is simple yet practical: “Don't let anxiety derail you during the application season; maintaining your own pace is most important. When choosing a university, focus on ‘fit’ rather than rankings. First establish a broad direction for your major, then gradually explore the details once you arrive at university.”

Tristan and his parents

Now, Tristan is about to set off overseas with the courage and abilities bestowed upon him by Farragut. The once introverted teenager who needed “room for error” has grown wings through acceptance and exploration. His story proves that growth is never about “forcing oneself into a mold,” but rather about gradually becoming the person one aspires to be on the right stage—and Farragut provides just such a place where one can freely spread their wings.
