We will be defined as a school of excellence by each of the constituents of our school community and the Ningbo population. We envision a diverse student population, a system in which every student has equal opportunities for success and the necessary skills for the next step on theiracademic ladder, based on avariety of performance indicators, a system meeting the needs of individual learners, rather than making the learner fit the system, a system that allows students to achieve standards through play-based, conceptual learning in motivating, authentic environments,students who will be well-rounded, community contributors equipped with the academic and personal skills to succeed in the world and who see the relevance and purpose in their learning, staff who feel a high degree of purpose, job satisfaction, pride, and personal growth, parents who feel informed, valued, and satisfied, a strong connection to the Ningbo community and the perception that ELGenesis represents'excellence'.
