特色办学措施——“1. 2.3.4.5”工程
Educational Measures
 
○一个学制——六年一贯制：改变初中、髙中分段教学为六年一贯制教学，让学生得以避开中考，一气呵成完成中学六年学业，然后根据各自实际，或瞄向高考，或转向国外留学。这样可以有效地避免初、高中一些学科和教学内容重复所带来的学习时间浪费与沉重的学习负担，同时也可让学生把节约下来的许多时间用到国内高考、以及雅思和托福考试等科目上。
One School System - The Six-year Barrier Free Program. This program transforms the separated educations of middle and high school into one system which allows students to avoid the entrance exam of high school. One can complete secondary school education within six years, and then according to their practical needs, either attend the domestic national entrance examination for college or seek for overseas education. This can effectively cut down the overlapped teaching content given in traditional middle and high schools and alleviate students’ stress caused by the heavy study load; while doing so, much time can be set aside for preparing the National College Entrance Examination or IELTS or TOEFL.
 
○两个方向——根据学生及其家长的学习意愿与需求、家庭经济等实际情况，初中和高中各有两个培养方向可供学生和家长选择，即：初中除了六年一贯制实验班外，还可选择参加中考，然后去报考其它兄弟学校高中部；高中学生可选择国内高考班和国际教育班（出国留学直通车）。
Two directions -- there are two training directions for students and parents to choose, based on the learning wishes and the family economic situations, namely experimental class. One can choose to participate in local entrance exam of high school before applying for other high schools; high school students can also choose either the class for domestic college entrance examination or the international classes.
 
国际化教育是本校教学的主轴，办班模式呈现出了多元特点：与国内名校（大学）合作办学；与国外名校结对合作办学；与浙江越秀外国语学院合作，开设韩、日、西班牙等小语种选修课程，在此基础上开设小语种课程班。
Internationalization is the main axis of the school, providing diverse characteristics: cooperating with both domestic and overseas eminent universities and colleges, and opening selective languages classes, like Korean, Japanese and Spanish with the full support of  Zhejiang Yuexiu Foreign Languages University.
 
○三自教育——行为自律、生活自理、学习自主。为更好体现“绍外”人才培养目标特色，将原先在公办学校盛行的三好学生标准——德、智、体（美劳），调整为“行为自律、生活自理、学习自主”等内容，制定了一整套相应的规范要求和评价标准，编写了“三自”校本教材，并具体细化落实在学生的日常学习生活中。
Three-Self Education -- self-discipline behavior, self-relied campus life, self-managed learning. In order to reflect the "SFLS" education characteristics, we transform the originally standard which is prevalent in public schools that fostering good students in moral, intellectual, and physical （art and craft）aspects into the three-self education. We develop a set of appropriate regulatory requirements and evaluation criteria, compile the "three-self" school-based teaching materials, and more importantly, steadily put them into students’ daily management.
 
○四个团队——行政、教学、学生管理、科研。行政团队强调精致化、扁平化（办事高效、快速、敏捷）。教学团队力求精英化，“绍外”的主要骨干教师由绍兴市教育局在全市选拔公派，其中有多名市级学科带头人、高级教师、市模范教师等；“绍外”的外教主要来自欧美国家。他们原汁原味的英语课堂、西式文化活动，为学生们的英语学习提供了原生态的英语学习环境。学生管理团队，“绍外”有一支拥有过硬军事素养气宇轩昂的年轻教官队伍，他们训练有素，和学生们朝夕相处，成为“绍外”学生管理的一道亮丽风景线。科研团队，“绍外”有一个教育科研支撑单位——绍外教育研究院。该研究院设有专职研究员和兼职研究员，专门为学校的发展提供科研支撑和评价依据。
Four teams -- administrative, teaching, student management, and scientific research. Administrative team emphasizes refinement and flat （efficient, fast, and agile）. Teaching team strives for being professional elites, as the core teachers in “SFLS” are from public schools in the city selected by Shaoxing Education Bureau, including municipal academic leaders, senior teachers, model teachers. Besides, foreign teachers in “SFLS” are mainly native English-speakers from European and American countries. Their authentic and western-style English classes provide students with the original environment for learning English. In terms of student management team, “SFLS” has strong and well-trained drillmasters who accompany students from morning to evening, which are famous and outstanding. Research team in “SFLS” is aiming at educational and scientific R&D. This institute has full-time and part-time researchers, who specialize in providing research support and appraisal standards for the development of the school.
