(J. Jewish News of Northern California via JTA) — A Jewish High school in Palo Alto, California, isn't just thinking outside the box when it comes to student recruitment. It is thinking outside the continent.
（北加州犹太新闻经JTA讯） — 加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的一所犹太高中在招生方面不仅跳出了框框进行思考。甚至跳出了大洲进行思考。

The pluralistic Jewish school, founded in 1999, launched its new international program on Feb. 26. The original plan was to recruit students from both Israel and China, said David Weiner, the school's admissions director. But after Oct. 7 and with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, he felt that it was too difficult to travel to Israel for meetings. So, China became the goal for the 2024-2025 school year, and the Israel plans have been put on hold temporarily.
据该校招生主任戴维·韦纳（David Weiner）说，这所成立于 1999 年的多元化犹太学校于2月26日启动了新的国际计划。最初的计划是从以色列和中国招收学生。但在10月7日之后，随着以色列与哈马斯的持续战争，他觉得前往以色列开会太困难了。因此，中国成为 2024-2025 学年的（招生）目标，以色列的（招生）计划暂时搁置。

“China has been, for years, a robust market for foreign students,” said Weiner, the main force behind the project. “Many of them are looking to come to the United States for high school.”
“多年来，中国一直是一个留学强劲市场，”该项目背后的主要推动人韦纳说。“他们中的许多人都希望来美国上高中。
Kehillah is eager to welcome them, he said.
他说，凯希拉带着渴望欢迎他们。
One-third of the school's student population of 200 is already non-Jewish, he pointed out, many of them Chinese American. Their numbers have been growing in recent years, Weiner said.
他指出，该校200名学生中有三分之一已经是非犹太人，其中许多是华裔美国人。韦纳说，近年来，他们的人数一直在增长。
“We are a Jewish school,” he said this week, “but we want our school to reflect the world’s diversity.”
“我们是一所犹太学校，”他本周说，“但我们希望我们的学校能够反映世界的多样性。

The mainland Chinese students would also pay full tuition, slightly above $57,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year, in addition to an "international fee" to help support recruitment efforts. Currently, Weiner says, 30 to 35 percent of Kehillah students receive financial aid.
中国大陆学生还将支付2024-2025学年的全额学费，略高于57,000美元，此外还有“国际费用”以帮助支持招聘工作。韦纳说，目前，30%到35%的凯希拉学生获得了经济援助。

Last year, Kehillah began offering Chinese as one of its foreign languages, alongside Spanish, Latin, and Hebrew, which is not required. So there are students of all backgrounds who will already have some knowledge of Chinese to greet the new arrivals.
去年，Kehillah 开始提供中文作为非必需其外语之一，此外还有西班牙语、拉丁语和希伯来语。因此，有各种背景的学生已经掌握了一些中文知识来迎接新来的学生。

Also, on hand to welcome them is the school’s Chinese-language teacher, Hope Tsai, a Taiwan native who will be in charge of acclimating the students from China to American culture.
此外，学校的中文老师蔡希望（Hope Tsai）也欢迎他们，他是台湾人，将负责让来自中国的学生适应美国文化。
Weiner and Tsai visited China from March 1 to 10 and already have four applicants.
韦纳和蔡希望于3月1日至10日访问了中国，已经有四名申请人。

吃个饭，吃完饭更新接下来难绷的部分

Global school exchange program
全球学校交流项目
In Suzhou, they met with leaders of the Mount Kingston Bilingual School, which already has an exchange program with a high school in Scarsdale, New York. Weiner anticipates duplicating that program, whereby students from Kehillah and Suzhou would attend each other's schools for a summer or semester.
在苏州，他们会见了苏州山峰双语学校的领导，该学校已经与纽约斯卡斯代尔的一所高中开展了交流项目。韦纳预计会复制这个项目，来自凯希拉和苏州的学生将在暑假或学期内在对方的学校上学。

In Shanghai, long known as China’s “international city,” and Shenzhen, a major center for technology, Weiner and Tsai met with parents of prospective students and educators interested in facilitating foreign study. These students would come to Kehillah for their entire high-school education, living with host families.
在长期被称为中国的“国际城市”的上海和主要技术中心深圳，韦纳和蔡会见了准学生的家长们和有兴趣促进国际学习的教育工作者。这些学生将来到凯希拉接受整个高中教育，与寄宿家庭住在一起。

Tsai said that she is very much looking forward to working with the students from China. She immigrated to the United States 18 years ago, already a seasoned teacher of Chinese as a second language and has been teaching Mandarin in the US since 2007.
蔡希望说，她非常期待与来自中国的学生一起工作。她18年前移民美国，自2007年以来一直在美国教授普通话，（现在）已经是一位经验丰富的汉语教师（作为第二语言的教师）。
