Thanks to the reputation of Peking University, the High School Affiliated to Peking University is one of the most well-known star middle schools in China. There are also countless schools that try to get close to the High School Affiliated to Peking University, and the "XX Branch of the High School Affiliated to Peking University" has emerged all over the country, but in fact it has nothing to do with the High School Affiliated to Peking University. Among these many copycat schools, only the "Shenzhen Nanshan Branch of the High School Affiliated to Peking University" is officially recognized as an authentic product by the High School Affiliated to Peking University.
Parents in Shenzhen usually refer to the Nanshan Branch of Peking University High School as "Peking University High School" for short. It was jointly founded by the High School Affiliated to Peking University and the Education Bureau of Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and integrates primary school, junior high school and high school. The junior high school of the High School Affiliated to Peking University ranks among the best in Shenzhen, and the "four major rates" of the high school entrance examination are stable at more than 15% all year round, far exceeding other schools in Nanshan District. Students in the primary and secondary schools affiliated to Peking University can basically go directly to junior high school after graduation, so many parents also send their children to the school for this convenience.
However, when it comes to teaching, the High School Affiliated to Peking University actually focuses more on quality education than on exam-taking. It implements a comprehensive assessment system, with only 30% of the final examination scores, and the rest of the evaluation comes from the usual grades and comprehensive quality. The English textbook is based on the Hong Kong "Longman Welcome to English", the science course is based on the original American textbook, and the art courses such as music, art and drama are taught by foreign professors, so that students can learn in an English environment. Rich club activities, elective courses and social practice also provide a platform for students' personalized development.
The high-quality teaching quality and convenient admission channels make the admission competition of the High School Affiliated to Peking University extremely fierce every year. Every year, some of the students who enter the high school affiliated to Peking University come from Weimin Kindergarten for direct promotion, and the rest need to pass an interview. The interview will be conducted separately for the child and the parent. Parents are simply asked how they communicate with their children, their children's interests, and what they are most proud of in their children. The examination of children is also relatively simple, with a total of about 20 questions, such as self-introduction, looking at pictures and talking, listening to sounds to determine what it is, addition and subtraction within 10, and so on. In general, the test is the comprehensive ability of the child, not the stock of knowledge. However, the ratio is unusually low, usually only 10 to 1 according to previous years.
Since 2018, the Nanshan Campus of Peking University Affiliated School will open a new campus in Shajing, which is currently under construction and will be completed by August. Its teachers are shared with the old campus, and the school bus transports teachers to and from the new and old campuses, and the hardware facilities are better. What's even more gratifying is that in 2018, students who choose to enroll in the Shajing campus will be exempted from tuition fees of 11,000 yuan per semester until they graduate from the third year of junior high school.
Tuition (including books):
Old campus: 30,000 yuan/semester
Shajing Campus: 19,000 yuan/semester
Accommodation: 8,000 yuan (including food)
