8月26日，伴著夏末的習習涼風，我們迎來了清華附中國際部2019-2020學年的開學典禮。與過去10年相比，本屆開學典禮因參與人數眾多，首次將小學和中學的儀式分開舉辦。這反映了國際部正以其優秀的教育水平、先進的育人理念，獲得了越來越多學生和家長的肯定。漫步校園，我們看到稚嫩且充滿期待的新面孔，也收獲了親切熟悉的燦爛笑容。別來無恙，歡迎回家！

清華附中國際部執行校長李文平女士致辭。她回顧了過去一學年中，小學部組織的豐富多彩的活動，以及學生在學術方面取得的累累碩果。學年伊始之際，李校長向小學部的同學提出了三點要求：希望他們踏實好學、嚴于律己、珍惜時間，在新的開始孕育新的希望。中學部的開學典禮上，李校長高度肯定了清華附中國際部在過去一年中取得的卓越成就，并強調了國際部“培養根植于中國文化，具有獨立思考能力及創新精神的國際化杰出人才”的使命和“中西合璧”的辦學特色。“背靠清華、面向世界”，李校長希望國際部的學生在走向世界的同時，能夠傳承和發揚清華精神。發言中，李校長還與教師、家長和學生們一同回顧了今年5月國際部舉辦的十周年系列慶典，當時的激動、歡樂和榮光依舊歷歷在目。
