GIA格里格斯國(guó)際教育學(xué)院創(chuàng)立于1909年，是美國(guó)較大、世界第二大私立教育體系。GIA課程體系受到美國(guó)七大教育權(quán)威機(jī)構(gòu)的認(rèn)可，在世界的推廣得到美國(guó)領(lǐng)事館的大力支持。上海宏潤(rùn)博源學(xué)校獲得GIA在上海的授權(quán)。宏潤(rùn)博源學(xué)校總校長(zhǎng)陳文國(guó)和外方校長(zhǎng)Christopher Moses作為GIA代表與GIA中國(guó)區(qū)總監(jiān)李皓辰先生一同受邀出席晚宴。

晚宴上美國(guó)駐廣州總領(lǐng)事李靖表示：“我們領(lǐng)館全力支持這樣的文化和經(jīng)濟(jì)交流。我們提供快速、周到和決定清晰的學(xué)生簽證服務(wù)。”

在此之前，美領(lǐng)館商務(wù)處專(zhuān)門(mén)在廣州珠江新城召開(kāi)解讀美國(guó)簽證現(xiàn)行政策的講座，并對(duì)各種簽證傳聞進(jìn)行辟謠。李靖先生說(shuō)：“美領(lǐng)館里的簽證官每日人均仍然批出100個(gè)以上的簽證。”“截止到目前，除申請(qǐng)人需在申請(qǐng)表DS-160中提交社交媒體信息外，美國(guó)簽證法及移民政策都沒(méi)作出任何變化，中美貿(mào)易摩擦對(duì)簽證沒(méi)有任何影響。”
Before this, commercial service office of the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou held a seminar in Zhujiang New Town to explain the current visa policy of the United States, and refuted various kinds of visa rumors. "On average, each visa officer at the U.S. consulate still grants more than 100 visas per day," Mr. Jim Levy said. "So far, there has been no change in U.S. visa or immigration policies, except that applicants are required to submit social media information on the application form DS-160. The trade friction between China and the United States has had no impact on the visa."
今年6月29日，中國(guó)國(guó)家主席習(xí)近平同美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普在大阪舉行會(huì)晤，雙方同意推進(jìn)以協(xié)調(diào)、合作、穩(wěn)定為基調(diào)的中美關(guān)系。習(xí)近平總書(shū)記在會(huì)晤開(kāi)始時(shí)說(shuō)：“中美合則兩利、斗則俱傷，合作比摩擦好，對(duì)話(huà)比對(duì)抗好。”
On June 29, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald trump held a meeting in Osaka. The two sides agreed to advance China-US relations based on coordination, cooperation and stability. President Xi Jinping said at the beginning of the meeting, "Cooperation benefits both countries while confrontation hurts both. Cooperation is better than friction, and dialogue is better than confrontation."
特朗普明確表示，“我們想要中國(guó)學(xué)生來(lái)美國(guó)留學(xué)。他們是優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生和巨大的資產(chǎn)” 他還表示，美國(guó)政府正在尋找新的方式 ，讓成功的外國(guó)大學(xué)生在畢業(yè)后更容易留在美國(guó)，包含中國(guó)留學(xué)生。
Donald Trump made it clear, "we want Chinese students to study in the United States. They are great students and great assets." He also said, “American government is looking for new ways to make it easier for successful foreign students，including Chinese students, to stay in the United States after graduation.
美國(guó)是世界上教育質(zhì)量較高的國(guó)家之一，有著完整而獨(dú)特的教育體系。美國(guó)文化教育的高水平也決定了美國(guó)在科技領(lǐng)域的地位。引進(jìn)美國(guó)的教育資源，服務(wù)于中國(guó)的基礎(chǔ)教育，培養(yǎng)人才，這對(duì)于中國(guó)和世界的發(fā)展都十分有利。
The United States is among the countries boasting the highest-quality education systems in the world. Its high education quality helped it secure the leading position in science and technology in the world. The introduction of high-quality educational resources from the United States to serve the primary education of China and to cultivate outstanding talents are very beneficial to the development of China and beyond.
華為董事長(zhǎng)任正非先生曾表示，美國(guó)是我們學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣，應(yīng)該表示感謝，“應(yīng)在教育上加大發(fā)展，普遍提高人民的素質(zhì)，認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)各國(guó)的先進(jìn)思想，在觀念上實(shí)現(xiàn)解放”。很明顯，如果大家因?yàn)槲⑿〉?ldquo;波折”而放棄前行、躊躇不前，無(wú)異于“因噎廢食”。
Ren Zhengfei, president of Huawei, once said that the United States is a model for us to learn from, and we should be grateful for that, "We should step up development in education, improve the overall quality of the people in general, earnestly study the advanced ideas of other countries, and achieve ideological liberation." Obviously, if people give up and hesitate because of minor "twists and turns", it would be like giving up eating for fear of choking.
上海宏潤(rùn)博源學(xué)校會(huì)與GIA緊密合作，在GIA課程體系的基礎(chǔ)上結(jié)合幾位校長(zhǎng)二十幾年的國(guó)際教育經(jīng)驗(yàn)，不斷探索優(yōu)化，為中國(guó)的孩子們提供高質(zhì)量的教育。
Shanghai Hongrun Boyuan school will work closely with GIA and continue exploring and optimizing the GIA curriculum system based on the over-twenty-year international education experience of our principals, so as to provide high-quality education for Chinese children.
