• 美高零距离 | 传说中加州最顶级的私立寄宿高中

    Jun 30, 2020

    哈喽大家好,我是Ashley,今年秋天我将去美国东部的乔治城大学上学,过去四年我就读于加利福尼亚的韦伯中学(The Webb Schools)。这四年,我在韦伯不但收获了学术上的突破,更找到了一个支持我全方面发展、充满凝聚力的大集体。

    韦伯中学,是由加州韦伯男校(Webb School of California)和薇薇安韦伯女校(Vivian Webb School)共同组成。在我看来,对比历史久远的美国东部寄宿高中体系,韦伯并没有东部学校那样悠久的传统,但西海岸民主、创新的氛围给韦伯中学的学生更多自由发展的空间。
