How is the British aristocracy made?

When it comes to Britain, our traditional impression is that it is rainy and gloomy, there are a lot of gentlemen and they like to hold umbrellas, which is our stereotypical impression of Britain. But it has to be said that Britain is indeed world-famous for its aristocratic education and gentlemanly culture. Contrary to most people's perceptions, the aristocratic education that the UK espouses is not literally about pampering, and the UK's aristocratic schools are often known for their strict militarized management.

The aristocratic spirit revered in Britain is not the spirit of the boomers, which is never opposed to the spirit of the common man, and does not mean a life of luxury, but a pioneering spirit centered on a series of values, such as honor, responsibility, courage, self-discipline and so on.

Both British Princes William and Harry were sent by the royal family to the Army Officers' School for study. After graduation, Prince Harry was even sent to the front line in Afghanistan to be a machine gunner. The British royal family knows the nobility of Prince Harry's status and the dangers of the front line, but they recognize that dedicating oneself to the country and taking risks is the nobility's duty, or where it belongs.

Many of the UK's aristocratic schools have a history of more than a century, with a rich learning atmosphere and deep roots. Schools generally cover a large area, usually with indoor heated swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses and other facilities, some schools also have their own running track and stables, for the overall development of students to provide a sound basic environment.

At the same time, British education emphasizes personal attention to students, and each student is provided with a personal tutor and a very strict routine. Students are required to get up early every morning, dress in formal attire and go to church in order to start the day in a dignified manner, as well as to run in the cold wind in winter.

For example, Eton, the world-famous British aristocratic school, not only teaches students academic knowledge, but also focuses on the overall development of students' personalities. 50% of the school timetable is for physical education, and they advocate that students in secondary school should actively participate in sports, especially team sports.

The curriculum of an average British secondary school is completed by Eton in only one-half of the time. The rest of the time, students are assigned to learn all kinds of noble sports, such as equestrianism, rowing, fencing and so on. The school expects to better cultivate students' sense of independence, communication, teamwork, persistence, leadership, and fair play through sportsmanship. Among them, equestrianism is highly valued by the school because of its long history.

Since ancient times, the British royal family has been eager to show their elegance and nobility through equestrianism, and it has gradually become one of the most "fashionable" sports among the aristocracy. It became one of the most "fashionable" sports among the aristocracy. Based on this, modern equestrianism originated in England and developed over the years into a diverse range of sports. Today, not only in England, but also in Europe, royalty are still required to practice this sport from a young age, and many of them are already outstanding representatives of the equestrian image at a young age.

For example:

Princess Zara Phillips

Zara is not only the fourth equestrian world champion in British history, but also the second "Equestrian Princess" to come out of the British royal family.

Letting children learn equestrianism can shape their posture and correct their hunchback habits, promote cerebellar development, and improve body coordination and balance. In the process of learning to ride a horse, children can continue to improve their courage, accumulate self-confidence and expand their social skills. Unlike other sports, many children will have a desire to get close to horses when they see them, and horses will be a friendly animal friend to children.

Now, in the early morning of March 25th, the young students of i05 International Private School Chongqing Longhu Campus came to Jiubin Equestrian Park and had a close contact with the horses.

Amaury taught the children the English words for equestrian equipment: saddle, bridle, helmet, spur, stirrup, boots, and so on.

In order to better understand the living environment and habits of the horses, the young students followed the professional coach to visit the stable, the horses are very easy to be frightened, so the children are very quiet~

Theoretical knowledge has been learned, and now, cross the horse on the battlefield!

One word, handsome! Two words, So cool~

Your little knight is now online!

This fun equestrian experience is one of the PBL programs featured by i05 International Private School. Through real-life scenes and hands-on participation, children can learn equestrian trivia while having close contact with animals, as well as learn related English words, sentences, and so on. We hope that through this small experience program, we can cultivate children's curiosity and interest in this sport, in order to bring them a positive influence in their growth process with the noble spirit conveyed by equestrian sports.
