Nantou Primary School (hereinafter referred to as Nantou Primary School) was founded in 1932. Like Qilin Primary School, Lilin Primary School and Dingtai Primary School, it also belongs to Nanshan Experimental Education Group. In fact, the quality of teaching between these schools is not very different, but Nantou Primary School is more well-known because of its long history.
Just as Nanshan Foreign Chinese School attaches great importance to English, Nantou Primary School pays attention to the cultivation of students' Chinese skills, and many parents also take a fancy to this. Nantou Primary School is well-known for its Chinese teaching in Nanshan District, and its goal is to make children "able to read and write at the age of eight". In the experimental teaching, the number of words of the first-grade students of Nantou Primary School was about 1,900 words, which exceeded the 1,600 words stipulated in the 2011 national language curriculum standards for the lower grades (first and second grades). While teaching literacy and cultivating reading ability, the teachers of Nantou Primary School also pay attention to the training of students' writing ability. After completing the first year of study, the children can complete 100-300 words of composition per day, and the excellent ones can complete nearly 1,000 words of daily assignments at a time, and even students under the age of 7 can rewrite "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on their own.
The conscientiousness and responsibility of the teachers have left a very good reputation for the parents of Nantou Primary School. At present, Nantou Primary School has a total of 41 classes and about 120 teaching staff, including 3 special teachers, 13 associate senior teachers, 13 master's students, and about 60 people have won national awards. In addition, teachers will be sent to the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and other countries for short-term training.
Nantou Primary School does not pay much attention to exam-oriented education, so its learning life will be relaxed and enjoyable, without too much pressure. Teachers often encourage students to participate in extracurricular sports and extracurricular reading, and assign less homework, which is usually completed within an hour. However, it should be reminded that on the other hand, students will spend more time adjusting to the exam competition when they enter junior high school.
There are a total of 9 residential areas designated as Nantou Elementary School District Houses, all of which were built around 2002 except for the Royal Forest Mansion. The closest ones are Sunshine Lijing (79,000-98,000 yuan/m2), Xiulin Xinju (81,000-94,000 yuan/m2), Lixiu Huating (about 80,000 yuan/m2), and Yulin Huafu (101,000-129,000 yuan/m2).
