從 Marshall 幼兒園出發，讓孩子的英文力成為世界的通行證
Ingrid 從小班到大班就讀於 Marshall School 幼兒園，三年中在老師們溫柔而專業的引導下，培養出穩固的英文基礎與對閱讀的熱愛。
回到台灣後，生活逐漸步上正軌。兩年過去，如今回想，更能深刻體會 Ingrid 在 Marshall School 所奠定的早期教育基礎，如何影響她的自信心與學習熱忱——即使跨越了國家與語言，這份力量依然延續。
畢業於瑪歇爾幼兒園後，Ingrid 加入紐西蘭一所公立小學二年級（Year 2）。四月中入學後，不到一週便順利銜接當地課程，並自然融入班級生活。
七月底的 mid-year 成績裡，她的寫作（Writing）達到 1A，相當於當地二年級程度。到了十二月學期期末報告（End of Year Report），寫作、閱讀、數學三科皆達到 1A 水準，完全符合紐西蘭二年級學生的標準。
老師曾驚訝地請她幫忙翻譯一位新來的中國學生，甚至一度以為 Ingrid 從小就在紐西蘭長大，因為她的英文聽說流暢、語感自然。
Ingrid 的例子再次證明——當孩子在幼兒階段透過大量閱讀與故事啟蒙累積語感，英文就不只是學科，而是開啟世界的鑰匙。
感謝 Marshall 幼兒園，以愛與閱讀為核心的教育，讓孩子在世界的任何角落都能自信發光。
From Marshall Kindergarten to the World: How Early Reading Built Our Child’s Global Confidence
Ingrid attended Marshall Kindergarten from K1 to K3, where she was nurtured in an English-rich, story-filled environment. Under the warm and professional guidance of her teachers, she developed both a solid English foundation and a genuine love for reading.
Returning to Taiwan, life gradually settled down. Two years on, I now truly realize how much Ingrid’s early education at Marshall shaped her confidence and love for learning — even across countries and languages, this foundation continues to empower her.
Having graduated from Marshall, Ingrid joined Year 2 at a public primary school in New Zealand. Starting in mid-April, she adjusted smoothly to the new environment within just a week, eagerly participating in class discussions and completing her schoolwork with enthusiasm.
In her mid-year report (July), Ingrid achieved 1A in Writing, equivalent to the local Year 2 level. By the End of Year Report (December), all three subjects (writing, reading, mathematics) had reached 1A, meeting the expected standard for New Zealand Year 2 students.
Her teacher was even surprised by her fluency and once asked her to help translate for a newly arrived student from China, thinking Ingrid might have grown up in New Zealand due to her natural command of English.
Ingrid’s journey is living proof that when children are immersed in rich language and reading experiences early on, English becomes not just a subject — but a bridge to the world.
We are deeply thankful to Marshall Kindergarten for providing an education rooted in love, reading, and confidence — giving children the wings to shine anywhere in the world.
