It is one of the three major private primary schools in Hongkou, and its art education characteristics are as famous as Aiju Primary School. Founded in 1998, Liying Primary School is located in Guangling 2nd Road, covering an area of 3,987 square meters and a construction area of 2,988 square meters. In order to support the development of art education in the school, Lai Ying Primary School purchased 11 pianos, a piano room with 17 electric pianos, a choir room with standard sound-absorbing equipment, and a 120-square-meter multi-purpose classroom equipped with multimedia equipment and high-end speakers. Each classroom of the school is equipped with central air conditioning, and special classrooms such as laboratories and reading rooms are readily available. However, the building is relatively dilapidated and there is not much space for student activities.
As of 2017, Liying Primary School has 1 special teacher and 5 senior middle school teachers. In addition, more than 90% of the teachers have intermediate and senior professional titles, and more than 64% of the teachers are backbone teachers and training objects at the municipal and district levels.
The school implements city-wide enrollment, and the first and second choices are within the scope of interviews. However, according to the situation in previous years, Liying Primary School enrolled only 40 students from other districts, and only interviewed students from other districts whose first choice was interviewed. In 2017, the interview topics were: (1) Tell a story by looking at pictures; (2) Equivalent substitution; (3) Look at the picture and answer the question; (4) Watch videos to answer questions, mainly to examine memory, such as which animals appeared; (5) find out the difference between the two pictures; (6) dancing; (7) Sorting questions. During the child's interview, parents also need to participate in the school's verification and introduction consultation activities, and need to answer questions such as the child's strengths, who is responsible for the child's learning, why they chose Liying, the origin of the child's name, etc.
According to the statistics of a third-party education information agency, the number of winners in the four major cups in 2016 accounted for 22.5% of the school, ranking 11th among the primary schools in the city. However, in terms of the number of people who won the first and second prizes, Liying Primary School was more than Aiju Primary School.
In recent years, Liying Primary School has seen a strong upward trend in terms of academic performance. Among the 150 graduates of the class of 2017, a total of 145 students entered key private junior high schools, most of them entered Xinhua Junior High School, Xinfuxing, Xunxing and other schools, and the other part entered the city's three girls' middle schools and Nanmo; In addition, 2 students entered international schools and 3 students were promoted to public special classes. In addition, if the students of the Li Ying Wind Band have reached level 6 or above, they can be used as a bonus point when they go on to higher education, and the school will also give the band some preferential places.
At Lai Eng, students are divided into music classes and art classes according to their interests as soon as they enter the school. At the end of Year 2, students are given the option to participate in the Wind Band on a voluntary basis. The instruments that students play in the band are selected by the teacher according to the students' own conditions. Liying's wind band has a certain reputation in Shanghai, and has participated in many non-professional performances, and has achieved good results.
In terms of cultural courses, Liying's mathematics focuses on thinking training, in addition to the unified textbooks of the Municipal Education Commission, there are also supplementary textbooks compiled by the school; In English, there is also a textbook called "Comprehensive English", which involves more extracurricular development and is used in the preparatory class for foreign languages. In addition, Liying also offers oral courses with foreign teachers, and the students' basic course knowledge is very solid.
It is worth mentioning that every student above the second grade has a small computer, and the teacher will check the student's situation through WiFi during class to ensure that every student has the opportunity to practice in class. Moreover, the content of each class and the after-class exercises can be downloaded to the computer via WiFi so that you can practice at home. Liying, on the other hand, is known for its low amount of homework, and its students are less stressed, and they can complete their homework in less than an hour every day. In addition, the first and second grade exams are not scored, only divided into different grades, and will not be ranked.
In terms of life, parents said that Liying's lunch was good, and the school uniform was better than most schools. It is mainly a day school, with school buses and dormitories for students with special needs. The dormitory is equipped with pianos, but only about 15 people can live in one grade.
