这场蔓延全球的疫情让全世界都陷入沉静，为了控制全球疫情蔓延，各国和地区都出台了严格出入境政策，华美留学生部的外籍学生们虽然身处世界各地，但大家通过网络，视频、电话等多种手段开展起了网络学习与日常联络。“同一个世界”，不管发生了什么，我们都仅仅相依。在这个地球村中的每一个人，无论国籍，都是人类共同体的一部分。华美学校共有400多名港澳台外籍孩子，分布在亚洲、欧洲、美洲、非洲等世界四大洲，俨然是一个“教育小联合国”，每一个留学生部的孩子都拥有一个“世界级朋友圈。
华美留学生部（ISD），每一个字母都有着特殊的含义：分别代表着创新（Innovation）、成功(Success)、包容(Diversity)。我们着重培养孩子从多元的、世界的角度去思考。线上教学一直是作为留学生部教学辅助手段，但这次那么长时间的线上教学也算是独特的体验。留学生们并未因为疫情而受到影响，反而更体现了他们的自律与韧性，本期我们通过对各学部的每周之星的采访，来看看小小留学生们不一样的风采。他们才是当之无愧的“榜样之星，未来之星”。
