Campus Life

Community is life, is co-build, is groups, and is closeness, free space, and growth.

If the academic development of learners mirrors adult work, then the personal lives of learners in the community is as indispensable as community life is in real society.

Life in the Moonshot community forms a circle that encompasses learners, mentors, and families, a circle where you know everyone and are known by everyone. 

Houses


Four Houses

At Moonshot Academy, the "Four Houses" serve as units where learners and educators live together and engage in collective discussions. This concept arose from our discussions about the expanding nature of Moonshot Academy — where the school should not be a rigid, mechanical institution, but rather a living, dynamic organization. The Houses are learner organizations that transcend grade levels and classes. They can be led by learners and also serve to enrich the lives of learners at Moonshot Academy. The House is a unit for activities, also a cultural unit, an important space where learners engage in public discussions.

Four Houses of Moonshot Academy

The names of the Four Houses were proposed by the parent of learner Wang Ziyuan, Wang Yeyun, symbolizing "道法自然" (Tao follows nature): in Chapter 25 of the Tao Te Ching, it is written, "The Tao is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and man is also great. In the universe, there are four great forces, and man is one of them. Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Activities

After years of community co-construction and exploration, the school has formed several annual traditional activities from multiple departments. These activities are an important way to shape the culture of the community.

Activity List

Opening Ceremony

The first day of the school year features an Opening Ceremony, where all students, faculty, and parents come together to look ahead to the new year of learning, growth, and achievements. The ceremony honors students who have made outstanding contributions in academics, projects, and community culture, and invites everyone to explore the "real-world issues" that the entire school community will work on solving throughout the school year.


Curriculum Night

At the beginning of each school year, the school hosts a Curriculum Night, inviting families from elementary through high school to learn about the courses and how students will engage with their learning. Teachers will provide an overview of the curriculum and teaching methods.

Under development, this event reflects the power of drama to bring together diverse talents, offering equal participation opportunities for both students and teachers. It emphasizes multi-dimensional evaluation and the transmission of the Moonshot Academy's values.

Wuji House Ball

Every year, around New Year, Wuji House organizes a special ball for high school students and teachers, where everyone can dress up. The ball is full of exciting performances, diverse music, and elegant melodies mixed with dynamic rhythms. The dances include both choreographed and impromptu performances, as well as high-energy beatbox acts, adding unique charm and creating a lively atmosphere. It is an unforgettable year-end celebration for the high school community.


Boring Competition

The Boring Competition originated from the House Head's desire to explore diverse evaluation and alternative competitions, offering a fun, offbeat contrast to the typical academic life. After a month of preparation, the event is set to launch with five days of activities, including competitions like "Biggest Procrastinator," "Card Stacker King," "Leg Shaker King," and "Guess the Person" as well as a final championship round.

At the end of each semester, every course hosts an exhibition where students' work is showcased in diverse formats. Parents and members of the broader community are invited to participate, providing feedback and witnessing students' growth.

The ceremony features a variety of formats, reflecting on the students' growth throughout their time at the academy and setting the stage for their next journey into the world.


Clubs

Every interest is a call of an innate tendency in nature, and perhaps also a flash of genius in its primitive state. We hope that learners can discover their most authentic and talented selves in after-school clubs.

Groups7

Moonshot EXP

We are the Moonshot EXP team. Our name came from our three core values: Experience, Expectation, and Expedition. Currently, we only have three members, but we are actively looking for recruits who are interested in drawing, designing, writing, or passionate about a certain topic. (Or if you're just looking for some additional social service hours ^-^ ) We started out as the Magazine Club in the 2022-2023 school year. We wrote articles and formatted them into magazines, which we sold and presented during the end-of-semester exhibitions. The money we earned all went to OPF (One Planet Foundation), a non-profit organization that helps endangered animals. However, we quickly realized that we were short on articles to publish, and the materials we were able to get could not be made to be related to each other, resulting in a magazine with no clear topic or goal. This year, we are responsible for the Monthly Club Newsletter for High School. So far, we have finished the October-November edition, which focuses on sports clubs. Through interviews, we hope to show the diversity of our school's club culture and the tremendous impact it has on the school community. In the future, we will most likely continue to focus on the Club Newsletter, and if possible, our hope is to create semester newsletters that we can print out and sell. In addition, we will most likely start a WeChat official account, in which we will publish the newsletters as well as other articles either written by us or contributed by others.
