Beijing Primary School was founded in 1949 and is the only primary school directly named after "Beijing". Beijing Primary School has implemented a boarding system since its establishment, and has maintained a good reputation as a public boarding school. Perhaps considering that there is a big controversy about boarding primary schools, since 2015, all districts in Beijing have stopped boarding primary schools, and by 2016, there are few boarding public primary schools left, and Beijing Primary School has become the only public boarding primary school in Xicheng District. The main school in Beijing is a full-boarding school, with more than 1,300 boarders. The campus is equipped with teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, basketball halls, gymnastics halls, swimming pools, planetary halls, libraries, etc., in addition, there are nearly 20 special classrooms for computers, music, science and technology. The school also sets up a book corner in each class, and regularly changes books to provide students with a convenient and independent reading place. Li Mingxin, principal of Beijing Primary School, is one of the first batch of professors in primary and secondary schools in Beijing, enjoys special allowances from the State Council, and is a special Chinese teacher, who put forward the educational proposition of "returning basic education to its true nature" and "building a good school education ecology", and he is also a participant in the compilation of Chinese textbooks compiled by the Ministry of Education, and served as the chief principal of the Beijing Primary School Education Group after its establishment. The school clearly puts forward the "four self" education tenet of "self-care in life, self-reliance in learning, self-esteem in behavior, and health and self-improvement", and adheres to the "five yang" education concept of "slow care, obedient care, shepherding, literacy, and care", and cultivates students' self-care ability while focusing on academics. The boarding system of Beijing primary school has a clear goal of cultivating life ability, that is, the first grade learns to master basic life skills, the second grade learns to live independently, the third and fourth grades participate in dormitory management, and the fifth and sixth grades should serve everyone. In terms of dormitory safety management, the school organizes two fire evacuation drills every semester, and stipulates that towels should be soaked and placed next to the bed before going to bed to prevent fire escape. Students are treated equally, parents are not allowed to deliver meals, and there is little comparison. Beijing Primary School is also a school with many special students, and has won the title of "Beijing Science and Technology Education Demonstration School", the school's dance troupe has been named Beijing "Jinfan Dance Troupe", and the choir has won the first prize of the city and district for two consecutive times in the "Choral Festival" competition organized by the city and district. At the same time, the school has established extensive contacts with Europe, Asia, America, Australia and other regions and countries, and has established sister school relations with many international schools. Over the years, most of the students have been promoted to the middle schools allocated by the district, and a small number of students have been promoted to Beijing No. 4 Middle School, Beijing No. 8 Middle School, Experimental Middle School, High School Affiliated to Normal University, No. 15 Middle School and other schools through the way of promotion and special students. The headquarters of the North Primary School recruits school-age children for the whole district of Xicheng. Enrolled children are required to attend an interview, the selection is strict, and parents are required to sign an agreement after being admitted, and if the student cries and cannot take care of himself during the school period, he will be discouraged. In 2016, it is planned to enroll 6 boarding classes.
