This summer, rising 10th grader Frank Jones was nominated by a Montverde Academy faculty member to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Medicine & Health Care, a unique academic experience at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. With dreams of becoming a surgeon, Frank enjoyed gaining the hands-on medical experience that the forum provided, as well as earning two college credits.
今年暑假，即将升入10年级的Frank Jones同学获得了蒙特沃德学院一位教师推荐参加华盛顿大学在密苏里州圣路易斯市举办的全国青年领导力论坛（简称“NYLF”）：医学与医疗保健。这次活动为他提供了难得的学术体验。怀揣成为一名外科医生的梦想，Frank喜欢论坛所提供的亲身医学体验，并成功收获两门大学学分。
“I am excited for Frank to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country and the globe,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President of Education for Envision. “NYLF Medicine & Health Care is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious young students to explore their interests outside the classroom and discover how to innovate and think creatively through hands-on immersive learning. Our students are challenged with real-world simulations and problems, working together to develop unique solutions and projects to bring life to their studies and career interests.”
"我很高兴看到Frank能与来自全国乃至全球各地志同道合、富有抱负的优秀同龄人共事并进行合作。”远景教育副校长Jan Sikorsky表示。“NYLF 医学 & 医疗保健论坛是一个绝佳机会，让有抱负的年轻学生能够在课堂之外探索自己的兴趣，并通过实践性学习发现如何创新和富有创造性地思考。我们期待着看到我们的学生面对真实世界中模拟情境和问题时，共同努力开发出独特解决方案和项目，并将他们所获得的知识和职业兴趣付诸实践。”
