4921 TALK · 浅谈西温公校中学的课程

West Van High School Curriculum

        Friday Dec 5th, 2025

        10:00AM - 12:00PM         

        西温学区以优质教育著称。对小升中的家长来说，心里可能有不少疑问：让孩子和小学的朋友们一起就近进入对口的中学，还是再了解一下其他学校？每间公校的课程特色是什么？主要选项又有哪些？不同的选择对孩子的发展甚至以后读大学可能有什么影响？为了让家长们提前对中学有所了解，4921书屋特意从三间中学请来几位资深家长，分享各学校的课程设置、路径选项，以及自己孩子的成长经验，欢迎小学高年级的家长们来参加。 

West Vancouver is known for strong public schools. As students move from elementary to high school, parents often wonder which school to choose and how different programs may affect future pathways.

To help families understand their options, 4921 Book House has invited experienced parents from three local high schools to share program highlights and their children’s experiences. Parents of senior elementary students are welcome to join.

In September 2025, Meiting—who graduated from Rockridge Secondary School in West Vancouver—started her freshman year at Stanford University, joining over 1,800 students from 64 countries.

Now, during her Thanksgiving break, she’s returning home to give back to her community. Meiting will share her university application journey, how high-school learning prepared her for Stanford, and the personal management skills—time management, health habits, and independent living—that helped her transition to college.

4921 TALK · 探讨艺术与跨学科教育

Art and Interdisciplinary Thinking

        Thursday Nov 13th, 2025

        10:00AM - 12:00PM         

       在当下的教育语境中，学习的意义正在悄然转变。艺艺术教育也不再只是传统意义上技法的训练，学生们通过各种艺术创作和体验，可以跨越学科的界限，用更自由、更富想像的方式探索与世界更深层的连接。本次讲座邀请到CICA温哥华国际当代艺术中心的资深教育团队，来分享艺术与跨学科学习如何帮助学生发展独立思维，积累真实的项目经验，并在探索中发现自己的方向与热情。

        我们欢迎大家一起来走近艺术，谈谈艺术家的成长和未来的可能。 

Art education is changing. It’s no longer just about technique, but about imagination, creativity, and crossing disciplines. Through hands-on artistic experiences, students learn to think independently, gain real project skills, and connect more deeply with the world.

Join the CICA education team as they share how art and interdisciplinary learning help students discover their strengths and ignite their passions.

Join us as we explore art and the paths and possibilities for artists.

4921 TALK · 藏家谈艺录：十全如意

Art Conversations: Ten Blessings of Perfection

        Wednesday Nov 6th, 2025

        10:15AM - 11:45AM         

      艺术并不遥远，它往往就藏在日常生活的一处木纹、一道光影里。本期【藏家谈艺录】以“十全如意”为题，主讲人将带来自己收藏的十柄明清木雕如意。通过器物带来的触感、气息与温度，寻找其所带给自己的“共鸣”，分享与这些器物的缘分带来的感受与思考

      艺术并不仅仅是专家的世界，也是一种可以被每个人重新唤醒的感受力。

Art is never far away — it often hides in the grain of wood, in a fleeting play of light and shadow.This episode of Collectors’ Conversations is titled “Tenfold Harmony”, featuring a talk centered on ten carved wooden ruyi scepters from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Through the texture, scent, and warmth of these objects, the speaker explores the sense of resonance they evoke, sharing personal reflections on the connection between collector and object.

Art is not a world reserved only for experts — it is a sensibility that can be reawakened in everyone.

4921 TALK · 成就孩子一生的内在力量：如何培养坚毅、责任与自信

Raising Resilient Kids: Developing Grit, Responsibility, and Confidence

        Wednesday Oct 15th, 2025

        10:00AM - 11:30AM         

      孩子成功真正需要的核心能力是什么？面对难题时，孩子是选择退缩放弃，还是勇敢迎接挑战？在学业压力下，我们能否守护孩子眼中的光，而不仅仅因为成绩单上一个分数来评判他们？

       学校之外，才是教育的真正考场。真正的教育，不止于学术，而是赋予孩子一生从容前行的内在力量。

What truly equips a child for success? When faced with challenges, will they retreat or rise courageously to meet them? Amid the pressures of school and grades, can we protect the light in their eyes, rather than judging them solely by report card scores?

The real test of education lies beyond the classroom. True education is not just about academics—it’s about nurturing the inner strength that allows children to move confidently through life.

4921 读书会 · 认识历史、理解当下——《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》

Guns, Germs, and Steel — Knowing History, Understanding the Present

        Friday Sept 19th, 2025

        12:30PM - 14:30PM         

        Monday Sept 29th, 2025

        12:30PM - 14:30PM         

      贾雷德·戴蒙德在其开创性著作《枪炮、病菌与钢铁：人类社会的命运》中，以宏大的历史视野与跨学科研究方法，打破了传统以种族主义为核心的历史叙事，从地理与环境的角度重新解释了人类社会的命运轨迹。

       4921书屋有幸邀请到杨文轩老师，为大家解读本书，提出问题，带领大家走上一段共读旅途。

In his seminal work Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, Jared Diamond adopts a sweeping historical perspective and an approach to challenge race-centered narratives of history. Instead, he reinterprets the trajectory of human societies through the lenses of geography and environment.

4921 Reading Room is honored to invite Professor Yang Wenxuan to guide readers through this masterpiece.
