Located in the beautiful Xiaoheshan Higher Education Zone in Xihu District, Hangzhou, it is surrounded by mountains and water, with winding streams, a superior geographical location, and a strong learning atmosphere—a good place to study and learn. The school's chairman is Yang Zhikai, a Doctor of Engineering and international education expert. The principal, who presides over the school's daily work, is Gu Lai, former director of the Research Office of Hangzhou No. 2 High School, former principal of Hangzhou No. 2 High School Shulan Experimental School, Zhejiang Provincial Special-Grade Biology Teacher, and one of Hangzhou's first batch of senior teachers. Chen Kening (at principal level), former vice principal of Hangzhou No. 2 High School, director of the Zhejiang Mathematical Society, and deputy secretary-general of the Hangzhou Mathematical Society, serves as the school's consultant, comprehensively planning the school's development and the implementation of teaching plans.
The school draws on the successful management model of Hangzhou No. 2 High School, adhering to the educational philosophy of "let every student enjoy suitable education"; with "You can do it, and so can I" as the school motto; "carrying virtue through culture and cultivating people through culture" as the school's purpose; strict management, rigorous style, respect for differences, full of care, development of potential, development of individuality, and emphasis on habit cultivation, striving to achieve a triple harvest in education and teaching quality, social reputation, and school-running efficiency.
The school has an excellent teaching team, including 1 doctor (it is currently the private high school in Hangzhou with doctoral-degree teachers), 5 provincial special-grade teachers, 4 teachers, and 27 full-time teachers, among whom a group of outstanding university graduates have been recruited from domestic universities, and a group of experienced and outstanding middle school teachers have been attracted from within Hangzhou to teach at the school. It is a trustworthy teaching team. The school invites a Hangzhou teaching expert team dominated by Zhejiang provincial special-grade teachers to guide the school, carry out teacher teaching business training, and improve teachers' professional level.
In teaching, we apply the concept of "new educational civilization" in daily teaching work, focusing on students' habit cultivation, tapping students' inner potential, creating successful experiences, and emphasizing personality development from the three dimensions of knowledge learning and accumulation, innovative thinking, and cultural improvement.
Adhering to the educational philosophy of "let every student enjoy suitable education," the school, through overall observation of students' learning situations, soliciting parents' opinions, and following the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude, combines the new high school curriculum reform to tailor an educational plan suitable for each student's own development.
The school implements fully closed management. Through military training, morning running, mountain climbing, sports meets, outings for visits and study, New Year's Day welcome parties, and other rich and colorful campus activities, the school provides students with opportunities for success and cultivates students' self-confidence; in learning, through the comprehensive implementation of the "grasp," "help," and "watch" learning management method—grasping the formation of students' good learning habits, helping students understand and apply knowledge, and watching students' corrections and reflections after exam results—every student develops good learning habits in the process of learning.
The school covers an area of more than 70 mu, with a building area of 27,000 square meters, composed of the main teaching building, comprehensive building, multi-functional teaching building, and student apartment building, including 46 standard classrooms and 16 special-purpose classrooms.
