Dimension 4: Capacity to take action for Sustainable Development
项目式学习宝山世外课程体系中的重要组成部分，英语学科结合自身特点和学需求，开展多样的项目。有时是基于项目的Project-based learning, 有时是问题驱动的Problem-based learning,有时是通过现象寻求本质Phenomenon-based learning, 更是心理导向系列Psychology-based learning，学生通过发表言论、设计作品、组织活动来改变困局、解决问题、实现理想。
Project-based learning is an important part of BSWFLS curriculum system, and the school has organized various projects according to its own characteristics and learning needs.

The four dimensions are arranged in an ascending spiral so that students understand language learning may be limited but the thinking and growth are unlimited.
