如果說中美教育之間較大的不同之一，那就是學校對體育和藝術的重視。

　　The biggest differences between Chinese and American education is the importancethat schools attach to sports and art.

　　美式教育看重體育，所以在美高學校中，體育生往往比學霸更出風頭。質疑者認為，這是美國學校中的反智主義傾向，但實際上如果你足夠了解他們重視體育特長培養的原因，會覺得也許并不能這樣簡單地、非此即彼地理解。

　　American education attaches great importance to sports, so in American colleges anduniversities, students who are good at sports tend to stand out from the groups. Questioners argue that this is an anti-intellectualism tendency in American schools, but in fact, if you know enough about the reasons why they attach importance to the cultivation of sports expertise, you will feel that it may not be so simple.

　　美國的大學不僅僅看重學生的文化學習成績，更看重學生全面發展的素質。西方的教育不提倡過分文雅與應試，更不認為喜歡運動就是差生、野蠻和浪費時間。

　　American universities not only value students' cultural achievement, but also their all-round development. Western education does not advocate excessive elegance and exam-taking, nor does it think that liking sports means poor students,barbarism and waste of time.

　　美國家長大多認為，體育活動實際上鍛煉的是孩子的人格和品質，以及在團隊活動中的合作能力、領導能力，同時也通過體育活動為孩子創造吃苦和領會失敗的機會。

　　Most American parents believe that physical activities actually exercise their children's personality and quality, as well as their ability to cooperate and lead in team activities. At the same time, they also create opportunities for their children to suffer hardships and experience failure through physical activities.

　　這也是為什么美國孩子大多會選擇團隊體育項目練習，而不是個人運動。

　　That's why most American children prefer team sports to individual sports.

　　畢業于耶魯大學的上海美高董事長方正先生也曾說過：“我到耶魯去念書的時候，為什么我比別人適應得好?我覺得音樂和運動的專長成為了我較好的一個溝通工具，這兩樣是沒有國界，沒有文化隔閡的。讓我在一個完全陌生的環境里很容易交到朋友。”

　　Mr.Fang, president of Living Word Shanghai, who graduated from Yale University, once said, "When I went to Yale to study, why did I adapt better than others?" I think the expertise in music and sports has become one of my best communication tools.There are no borders and no cultural barriers between them. It's easy for me to make friends in a completely unfamiliar environment.

　　皇馬為什么選擇上海美高

　　上海美高學校遵循中美結合的教育體制，旨在幫助學生情商、智商、能力和技能的全面發展，將學生培養成為未來全球各行各業具有國際觀的領軍人物。學校希望通過豐富多樣的人文教育、社團活動和社會實踐，塑造全方面發展的世界人才!而作為西班牙皇家馬德里在亞洲的唯一合作方，美高學校至今已經是第五年主辦皇馬青少年足球訓練營了!

　　LWS aims to help students develop their EQ, IQ, abilities and skills in anall-round way, and to train them to become leaders in the future. As the only partner of Real Madrid in Asia, Living Word Shanghai has hosted Real Madrid Youth Football Training Camp for the fifth year.

　　皇馬成熟的管理運作模式，在國際足壇與全球商業界都有著聲名顯赫的地位及經久不衰的品牌影響力，因此西班牙皇家馬德里足球基金會在挑選合作伙伴時非常謹慎。經過長期綜合的評價與考察，在中國的教育界選擇了與他們有著同樣理念，也同樣有影響力的上海美高雙語學校作為官方合作伙伴。

　　The Real Madrid Football Foundation in Spain is very cautious in choosing partners because of its mature management and operation mode, its prestigious positionin international football and global business circles, and its enduring brand influence. After long-term comprehensive evaluation and investigation, the Chinese educational circles have chosen LWS Bilingual School as their official partner with the same idea and influence.

　　學校主張通過足球活動更好地展現自己與更多人交友、健身和全面發展，并在日常課程中將其作為重要的課程之一。方正先生還表示在我校，足球方面有才華的學生將會對今后的大學申請有很大的幫助。學校大學申請老師也非常看重學生其他的專長如體育方面的才華，更愿意根據他們的體育特長幫助他們申請到心儀的美國及世界名校。

　　The school advocates that it should better show its friendship, fitness and overall development with more people through football activities, and take it as one of the important courses in the daily curriculum. Mr. Fang also said that in our school, talented studentsin football will be of great help to future university applications. Teachers also attach great importance to students' other specialties, such as sports talents, and are more willing to help them apply to their favorite American andother famous schools around the world according to their sports specialties.
