The year 2022 is a very important milestone for Newfield International Education Group. From 2002 to 2022, Newfield achieved its first 20 years of rapid development. In these 20 years, rapid growth has been witnessed in a variety of aspects: from a small New Zealand company to a Group with 11 direct branches and one Canadian international school in 6 countries, including New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and China; from a single study-abroad service to a comprehensive international education business with five modules: "overseas education, overseas service, cooperative education, international study and study abroad"; from the initially one employee to the current team of hundreds; from cooperation with only one single university to with more than 1000 universities and institutions at home and abroad; an accumulation of the number of students served and cultivated from fewer than 100 to tens of thousands. With 20 years of journey and hard work, Newfield has not only achieved the multi-level and leapfrog development of the above "one-hundred- million", and has gained both joy and praise!

Mr. Chen Shoutian delivered a speech as the parent representative of the “Toronto Elite Program”. His daughter, successfully won the offer from the main campus of the University of Toronto and several other offers from other well-known universities such as McGill University, Melbourne University, British Columbia University, etc. Based on his own experiences and feelings, he analyzed the Chinese meaning of "Field" in the English version of the Group name: as a noun, it means "field" for the fact that Newfield is deeply involved in the field of international education, with the "Toronto Elite Program" and "British Super Elite (G5) Program" helping children enter the ideal world top universities. The achievements have not come easily, and the honor is unparalleled. As a verb, “field” means "acting as an off-site counterpart, handling, dealing with, and serving the on-site team members". Newfield has done this, relieving the worries of the overseas students' families, and practiced the overseas service concept of "concern, trust, and company". Finally, a story shared by Mr. Chen Shoutian made the parents at the scene echo, accompanied with constant applause. "One day, I happened to find that the signature of my daughter's WeChat was changed to 'All leaving home is for the sake of returning home'. A child who is abroad and supposed to have a childish mind has now started unexpectedly to ponder life so deeply and has such patriotic enthusiasm! I think that behind this change, lies the good edification of Newfield and the good intentions of all teachers."
