New Trend: International Schools Focusing on Developing Children's Talents

International schools are embracing a new approach to education that prioritizes developing talents in arts, sports, and leadership. The trend moves beyond traditional academic excellence towards a holistic 'Whole Child Development' model. This approach emphasizes balancing academic performance with life skills, providing mentorship to help students align their passions with their natural talents. Schools are transitioning from rote learning to project-based learning and extracurricular activities that teach real-world problem-solving skills. Dr. Chang Yao-Lang, chairman of Wells International School, highlighted the school's commitment to individual student potential development, focusing on creating innovative programs that help students achieve their maximum potential through a comprehensive learning approach.
