"This is a school that merges the best educational philosophies from the East and the West. I would like our school to be a place where students are anxious to attend, feel very comfortable, and a place that they are reluctant to leave. I hope each of our students finds the school a place where they can demonstrate their talents, be happy, and to realize personal and individual growth."
Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science (PRISMS) is a
forward-looking international school. Incorporating the best educational theories and practices of China and the
US, the school prides itself on its strong, unique leadership and excellent teachers. In an effort to deepen
Sino-US educational exchange and be forward-looking, PRISMS provides a nurturing and vibrant environment for
outstanding talents worldwide.
The orchid of spring, the lotus of summer, the chrysanthemum of autumn, and the plum blossom of winter-each possesses its own beauty and strengths. Just as China is graced with the Yangtze, the United States with the Mississippi, Egypt with the Nile, and Russia with the Volga, these rivers share similar geographical elements, but their unique and nuanced differences forge each nation's distinctive features and splendor. Nature thrives on diversity and values the richness of variety; the same principle applies to human society, where the diversity of our social norms mirrors the landscape that surrounds us.
Therefore, when it comes to our international school's development, our priority is to respect and reflect diversity in our educational approaches. On this foundation, our community communicates, interacts, learns, and grows. Throughout history and across cultures, the ideas of the world's educational pioneers, each possessing unique advantages and wisdom, have not been and are not bound by geographical boundaries. PRISMS has attracted not only outstanding Heads of School from both China and the US but also a great number of exceptional and talented early- and mid-career teachers. We believe a team such as ours, composed of members from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds and pioneering the integration of the essence of Eastern and Western educational philosophies, will open a new chapter in the history of human development.
We are a STEM school, and while we value science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we place equal emphasis on the cultivation of students' abilities in world languages, the humanities and arts, leadership, and other areas critical to a young person's growth. We hope each of our students will become exceptional through comprehensive development that yields distinctive strengths, an innovative spirit, and a noble character.
Education is essential to the happiness of communities everywhere and serves the welfare of all humankind. Our educators happily give their time and energy to the students at PRISMS, as they all wish for them the best life in a safe world, which is fundamentally at the heart of education shared by humanity everywhere. In pursuit of this goal, we go forward, continuously innovating and cooperating with sincerity towards a shared vision of the future. We believe that the seeds we sow today will bloom tomorrow into beautiful flowers and yield abundant fruit, benefiting our children and contributing to the peace, development, and shared prosperity of the world.
At Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science, we embrace
Madam Liu's philosophy of 'love and respect,' which appreciates each student's individuality and their unique
potential for success. For more than 10 years at PRISMS, we have played an essential role in advancing the
School's vision, drawing on our experiences and blending the best teaching practices from the world's top high
schools. Driven by our mission to create a school that embodies the essence of multicultural education, we are
honored to collaborate with outstanding educators from across the globe.
Together, we are committed to nurturing young scientists who possess a spirit of exploration and innovation, preparing them to tackle future challenges. Whether within the fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, (STEM) our students are afforded the opportunity to dive deep into the world of knowledge each field has to offer. We believe that through authentic research, applied creativity, and hands-on investigation, meaningful problems can be solved and the positive feeling that results from authentic individualized achievement creates a catalyst for innovation.
Our approach cultivates a community of capable STEM students who possess a profound understanding and appreciation of the world in which they live. We recognize that ethics and the humanities play a crucial role in this pursuit and form the foundation of a well-rounded education, thus preparing each student to contribute back to their community after they graduate. We believe in the importance of applying differentiated teaching methods across our classrooms, which adopt a student-centered approach to the learning process. This way, each student’s individuality is appreciated and their potential fully realized. As PRISMS grows and expands, we are united in our commitment to providing a world-class program that meets the ever-changing needs of our dynamic student body.
Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science immerses a multi-cultural, self-motivated student body in an integrated STEM-centered curriculum and a research program that identifies and develops each student's potential. Our approach promotes critical thinking, imagination, and deep curiosity, and enables students to ask meaningful questions and to contribute to a diverse and dynamic world.
