XLIS remains steadfast in its mission to cultivate young individuals with a global perspective, a strong sense of social responsibility, and solid academic capabilities. These accomplishments stem from our deep implementation of the IBDP—widely regarded as one of the most academically rigorous curricula in the world. Students are required to complete six demanding subject courses alongside the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge (TOK), and service-based learning, all of which demand real-world responsibility. The Class of 2025 has not only embraced these challenges with courage but has also excelled through them, standing out with distinction.
Their achievements have also been greatly supported by our school’s dedicated, personalized, one-on-one university counseling program. XLIS is proud to have a professional and authoritative university guidance team that provides students with up-to-date admissions insights and tailored application strategies. With a student-centered approach, we help each individual map out their academic and life paths with clarity and purpose. From start to finish, students receive comprehensive consultation and support. This collaborative learning environment fosters the exchange of diverse perspectives, ensures that every student’s voice is heard throughout their educational journey, and empowers their passion and creativity to drive continual personal growth.
She reminded the Class of 2025 that: “The world is not a race to be won but a canvas to be painted, a symphony to be composed, and a story to be written. Whether you’re headed to an Ivy League institution or a local college, your worth is not defined by the name of the university you attend but by the impact you make on the world.”
“Finally, I want you to know that you will always be a part of the XLIS family. We will be here to support you, to cheer you on, and to celebrate your successes. Whether you’re across the country or around the world, you will always have a home here at Xi’an Liangjiatan.”
