In the era of economic globalization, Bodi School is committed to internationalization of education, striving to cultivate students' ability to compete, cooperate, and comprehensively develop their overall quality in the international environment.
Integrating Chinese and Western cultures, gathering essence of education

Using "Guoqiu" as a medium to build an international exchange stage
In 2004, Bodi School invested more than 4 million yuan to build the largest youth table tennis training base in the northwest region. It undertakes multiple national youth table tennis training and competition tasks every year, and accepts more than 70 table tennis players from national teams in Australia, Mexico, Egypt, Libya, Hong Kong, and Taiwan for short-term training. Yang Fengyu, the headmaster, said: "The friendly exchange of international education has broadened our students' international vision, increased their knowledge, enhanced their national pride, and enhanced their learning goals and motivation. At the same time, we have learned from advanced foreign education experience, enriched our innovative ideas in education, and made the educational philosophy of Body School more humanistic and progressiveness. A school without characteristics is not a good school; open school is the only way. Education knows no borders, and parents in different countries have the same expectations for their children. Educators around the world have the same responsibility towards their children. The beautiful Bodi School warmly welcomes more international students in the ancient city of Xi'an, and at the same time, Bodi School will also provide a platform for more students to study abroad
Through interviews, the reporter deeply felt that Bodi School is not only a pioneer in international education in secondary schools, but also becoming a promoter of international education. We believe that Bodi School will continue to broaden and excel in its internationalization journey.
