Shenzhen Experimental School(simplified Chinese: 深圳实验学校; traditional Chinese: 深圳實驗學校; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Shíyàn Xuéxiào; Jyutping: sam1 zan3 sat6 jim6 hok6 haau6), commonly referred to as SZSY, is a public school in Shenzhen, which consists of five sections, high school, middle school, secondary school, elementary school and kindergarten.

Though founded relatively late in 1985, the school quickly gained its reputation as an elite school in Shenzhen as well as the nation.[1]

History

[edit]

The school was established in 1985 with the middle school and high school at Baihua 6th Road campus and the elementary school at Hongli Road campus. In 1988, the kindergarten was opened at Baihua 5th Road campus. In 1998, the school merged with Huaqiang Middle School with the latter becoming the fourth campus. In 2001, the school took over the financially troubled Asia Pacific International School at Nanshan District and established a boarding school at that location. In 2002 the school made the decision to move all high school (grade 10-12) teachers and students at the original Baihua 6th Road campus to the new campus. The new campus then became the de facto high school though the Baihua 6th Road campus continues to maintain its own high school education with newly recruited teachers and students. Jing Shiru was the school's founding principal and retired in 2007. His successor was Cao Yanqing, who has retired in 2014. Current Principal is Zhong Jinggao.
