访校团法拉学子 Dennis 在 John Locke 与 NHSDLC 赛事中斩获佳绩
近期，天津法拉古特学校的优秀学子Dennis在国际学术竞赛领域捷报频传，一系列亮眼成绩的取得，不仅展现了他个人卓越的学术素养与综合能力，更成为天津法拉古特学校国际化教育成果的生动注脚。
Dennis收到2025年John Locke写作比赛入围邮件
在备受全球瞩目的2025年John Locke写作比赛中，Dennis聚焦经济领域第二题——“英国政府计划对学校学费征收增值税将如何影响社会经济流动性”展开深度探究。这一赛事的入围难度极高，2025年参赛人数已突破63,328人，入围率仅约18.65%，竞争异常白热化。其评审流程更是严苛，分为三轮层层筛选：初筛淘汰抄袭、字数不符、AI生成等不合规作品；中审聚焦论点新颖性、论证逻辑、引用规范等；终审则由牛津、剑桥、哈佛等顶尖高校教授组成的专家团，重点考察思维原创性与学术规范性。
面对这一兼具现实意义与学术深度的命题，Dennis凭借扎实的经济学知识储备，从教育成本传导机制、不同收入群体教育选择差异、长期人力资本积累等多维度展开分析，其论证既体现了对税收政策原理的精准把握，又融入了对社会阶层流动规律的深刻思考，最终在激烈竞争中脱颖而出，荣获入围奖。这一成绩的取得，与John Locke竞赛对参赛者深厚知识储备、批判性思维、严谨论证能力及规范学术写作能力的高要求形成呼应，充分印证了他在学术层面的突出潜力。

作为全球人文社科领域极具影响力的赛事，John Locke竞赛的含金量备受认可。其由牛津大学等顶尖学府的学者发起，奖项设置严格，从Grand Prize、学科前三名到Very High Commendation（<1%）、High Commendation（约5%）、Commendation（约10%-15%）等级分明，获奖难度逐年增加。而获奖者常受到牛津、剑桥、哈佛、耶鲁等世界名校青睐，部分顶尖获奖者可直接获得名校面试邀请。正因如此，Dennis此次入围不仅是对其学术能力的高度肯定，更为他赢得了2025年10月4日前往英国伦敦牛津参加专属晚宴的资格——这场汇聚全球优秀学子与顶尖学者的盛会，将成为他拓展国际视野、深化学术交流的珍贵契机。

Dennis 在两项高规格赛事中的突出表现，离不开他个人的勤奋与才华，更得益于天津法拉古特学校一贯坚持的育人理念。学校始终以培养具备全球视野和综合素养的学子为目标，为学生营造开放多元的学习氛围，鼓励他们主动探索未知、勇于挑战自我，在各类实践与竞赛中锤炼思维、提升能力。

而学校不久前刚刚举办的 “全球未来创意阶层 GFCC 峰会”，正是这一育人理念的集中体现。GFCC 峰会为学生搭建了与全球优秀者交流碰撞的平台，激发了他们的学术热情与创新思维。可以说，Dennis 的耀眼成就，是学校这一育人理念的生动诠释，是 GFCC 峰会这把 “学术梯子” 与他 “向上攀登的指尖力量” 共同作用的结果，让这位少年得以触碰全球前 15% 的学术星空。相信当他在伦敦颁奖晚宴举起奖杯时，背后闪耀的是天津法拉古特 “以平台激发潜能，以行动兑现天赋” 的教育智慧。
Recently, Dennis, an outstanding student at Farragut School in Tianjin, has been making headlines in international academic competitions. His impressive achievements not only demonstrate his exceptional academic aptitude and comprehensive abilities, but also serve as a vivid testament to the success of Farragut School's international education program.
Dennis received an email informing him that he had been shortlisted for the 2025 John Locke Writing Competition.
In the highly anticipated 2025 John Locke Writing Competition, Dennis focused on the second question in the economics category: “How will the UK government's plan to impose value-added tax on school tuition fees impact social and economic mobility?” This competition is extremely competitive, with over 63,328 participants in 2025 and an acceptance rate of approximately 18.65%, making the competition fiercely intense. The review process is equally rigorous, consisting of three rounds of screening: the initial round eliminates plagiarized works, those that do not meet the word count requirements, and AI-generated content; the intermediate round focuses on the novelty of the argument, logical reasoning, and proper citation; the final round is conducted by a panel of experts comprising professors from top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard, who assess the originality of thinking and academic rigor.
Facing this topic, which combines practical significance with academic depth, Dennis drew on his solid foundation in economics to conduct a multi-dimensional analysis, examining the transmission mechanism of education costs, differences in educational choices among various income groups, and the long-term accumulation of human capital. His argument not only demonstrated a precise grasp of the principles of tax policy but also incorporated profound reflections on the patterns of social mobility. Ultimately, he stood out in the fierce competition and was awarded the Finalist Prize. This achievement aligns with the John Locke Competition's high standards for participants, including deep knowledge, critical thinking, rigorous argumentation, and standardized academic writing skills, fully demonstrating his outstanding potential in the academic realm.

As one of the most influential competitions in the field of humanities and social sciences worldwide, the John Locke Competition is widely recognized for its prestige. Initiated by scholars from top universities such as the University of Oxford, the competition features a rigorous award structure, ranging from the Grand Prize and top three awards in each discipline to Very High Commendation (<1%), High Commendation (approximately 5%), and Commendation (approximately 10%-15%), with the difficulty of winning increasing year by year. Winners are often sought after by world-class universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, and Yale, with some top recipients receiving direct invitations to interviews at these prestigious institutions. As a result, Dennis's nomination not only represents a high recognition of his academic abilities but also grants him the opportunity to attend an exclusive gala dinner in London, UK, on October 4, 2025—an event that brings together outstanding students and leading scholars from around the world, offering him a valuable chance to broaden his international horizons and deepen academic exchanges.

Meanwhile, Dennis also made a strong showing in the 2025 NHSDLC National Championship (National Competition). This time, he engaged in a debate centered on the highly international topic of “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should rejoin the European Union.” In a fiercely competitive environment that attracted over 130 schools worldwide and nearly 600 top debaters from more than 20 cities across the country, he demonstrated policy analysis and logical reasoning skills that surpassed his age. Whether it was his precise引用 of the EU's economic cooperation mechanisms during the cross-examination phase or his in-depth analysis of the UK's trade challenges post-Brexit during the closing arguments, his sharp insights into international issues were evident. After two days of intense competition, Dennis secured the runner-up position with a steady performance, bringing honor to his school.

Dennis' outstanding performance in two high-profile competitions is not only a testament to his personal diligence and talent, but also a result of the educational philosophy consistently upheld by Tianjin Farragut School. The school is committed to cultivating students with a global perspective and comprehensive literacy, creating an open and diverse learning environment that encourages them to actively explore the unknown and courageously challenge themselves. Through various practical experiences and competitions, students hone their thinking skills and enhance their abilities.
The “Global Future Creative Class Summit（GFCC）” recently held by the school is a vivid embodiment of this educational philosophy. The GFCC Summit provides students with a platform to engage with global elites, sparking their academic passion and innovative thinking. Dennis's outstanding achievements are a vivid illustration of the school's educational philosophy, a result of the GFCC Summit's “academic ladder” and his own “determination to climb upward,” enabling this young man to reach the academic heights of the top 15% globally. When he raises the trophy at the London award ceremony, the brilliance behind him reflects Tianjin Farragut's educational wisdom: “Unlocking potential through platforms and realizing talent through action.”
