Beijing SMIC School-Institutional Review

SMIC is an internationally renowned semiconductor manufacturer with strong corporate strength. In the early days of its establishment, SMIC School mainly served the children of the company's employees, and was recognized by the company's employees and the community for its first-class hardware facilities and excellent teaching standards. Shanghai SMIC School, which is invested by the same group, was established earlier than Beijing SMIC School and is quite well-known in the local area. SMIC School was officially opened in September 2005 and implements a nine-year system, and also has a kindergarten.

SMIC School takes "character first" as its educational philosophy, and advocates that character is the foundation of education, followed by happy education. This concept was proposed by Zhang Rujing, the founder of SMIC and the founder of SMIC, and has been practiced in SMIC for many years.

The school's teacher ratio is also very competitive among private schools, with more than 300 teachers, including more than 70 foreign teachers. He joined SMIC in 2008 after graduating from Tsinghua University with a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. SMIC schools focus on English teaching, so the pace of teaching English and the difficulty of the curriculum are higher than those of public schools, and SMIC has already entered the middle school English learning in the sixth grade, and the "English Literature and Writing Class" in the upper grades is also a major feature of SMIC's English teaching. The library has a collection of 40,000 books, one-third of which are original foreign books, and the library management teachers have also compiled a graded reading list of Chinese and foreign books to facilitate students to find books that meet their own knowledge level.

When it comes to meals and pick-up and drop-off services, students and parents are highly satisfied. The on-campus canteen is organized by Beijing Xiangxiangniao Nutrition Food Co., Ltd., which won the gold medal in the 2017 Student Nutrition Meal Industry Nutrition Meal Recipe Making and Skills Competition. SMIC does not have a boarding system, but provides school bus pick-up and drop-off, and the school bus service area covers the main streets and communities in the three major areas of Yizhuang, Maqiao and Wangjing, making it very convenient for students to go to and from school.

SMIC attaches great importance to home-school co-education, and has established a parent committee within the school, whose members are all parents of current students, who are responsible for assisting the school in carrying out various student work. For example, half a year before the domestic media began to pay attention to PM2.5, SMIC parents popularized the smog problem to the school, and installed air purifiers in the whole school in 2013. After that, considering the problems of high noise of air purifiers and affecting the learning environment, parents submitted their suggestions for the introduction of new fan equipment to the school, and in 2015, the school replaced the new fan. As a pioneer in the use of fresh air equipment, SMIC School has received great attention in Beijing's education circles.

SMIC schools, whose enrollment is gradually opening up to the outside world, are still mainly the children of SMIC employees. If the children are enrolled in SMIC in kindergarten, 50% of them can be directly promoted to the primary school, and children who do not have direct promotion are also required to participate in the kindergarten to primary school admissions interview. SMIC School Beijing enrolls about 6 classes of 30 first-year freshmen every year. The school interview is divided into two stages: the student interview and the family interview, and only students who pass the student interview are eligible to enter the family interview stage. Although SMIC does not have a Haidian student status and is not in a strong education area, its enrollment ratio has reached 15:1, and it is not easy to get in.
