Suzhou High School, officially the Suzhou High School of Jiangsu Province (Chinese: 江苏省苏州中学), is a Chinese public high school of one-millennium rich history, located in Suzhou, Jiangsu. In AD 1035, the Northern Song politician and writer Fan Zhongyan founded the predecessor of Suzhou High school, Suzhou Prefecture School (苏州府学).

During the Qing dynasty, Zhang Boxing (張伯行) established the Ziyang College (紫陽書院) inside the Suzhou Prefecture School. It was one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation, and several emperors of the Qing dynasty praised its achievements.[2] In the 1900s, the imperial examination was abandoned, and consequently Duan Fang (端方), the governor of Jiangsu, transformed the school into a modern school. He also invited sinology masters Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu to join the faculty of the school.[3] In addition, during the Republic of China period, Zhang Taiyan and Qian Mu taught sinology here. It is widely regarded as one of the four most famous high school in Jiangnan.[note 1][4]

After the establishment of People's Republic of China, Suzhou High School became one of the 24 key high schools of China in 1953, which is selected by the Ministry of Education,[5] and one of the top four high schools in Jiangsu Province as well.[note 2][6] In 1997, Suzhou High School became the first batch of national model high school in Jiangsu Province. After the key school concept was abolished,[7] it became four-starred high school in 2004. In a 2016 ranking of Chinese high schools that send students to study in American universities, Suzhou High School ranked number 39 in mainland China in terms of the number of students entering top American universities.[8][9]

## History

### Suzhou Prefecture School

In 1035, Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Northern Song dynasty founded the Suzhou Prefecture School, which is the first time in Chinese history that combined prefecture school with Confucian temple.[10] The same year, Fan Zhongyan donated a house, and began the construction of quasi-government school after the approval of the Emperor Ren Zong. Then he employed the educator Hu Yuan,[11] the implementor of "sub-Studio" teaching style. Since then, with the school in Suzhou, Suzhou High School began the "Millennium Prefecture School"(千年府学) of history.

### Ziyang College

During the Qing dynasty, Zhang Boxing (张伯行) established the Ziyang College (紫阳书院) in the Suzhou Prefecture School.[12] At that time, most of the governmental schools are examination-oriented while the Ziyang College focused on Neo-Confucianism.[13] Zhang also engaged famous teachers from all over the country and the college attracted students nationwide.[14] In 1860, Suzhou Prefecture School was seriously damaged in the catastrophe of Taiping Rebellion. Fourteen years later, governor Zhang Shusheng (张树声) arranged a huge budget in its reconstruction.[15]

### During the late Qing dynasty and ROC

Gate of Wisdom and Virtue (智德之门)

In 1902, Ziyang College was renamed to Xiaoshiguan (校士馆, literally meaning a place for school scholars).[2] Two years later, Duan Fang (端方), the provincial governor of Jiangsu, established Jiangsu Normal School (江苏师范学堂) on its campus. He invited sinology great masters Luo Zhenyu and Wang Guowei to the school, serving as principal and teacher respectively.[16][17] After that, the renowned elite college in Jiangnan became a public high school.

Jiangsu Provincial Suzhou High School

In 1911, the school was renamed to Jiangsu Provincial No.1 Normal School (江苏省立第一师范学校).[18] During May Fourth Movement, students in the school established a student council with some universities to protest the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. In mid-May, the students' strike finally affected the government's decision.[19] In 1927, Wang Maozu, an educationist who studied at Harvard University and Columbia University and former principal of Beijing Normal University, became the principal of Jiangsu Provincial Suzhou High School. After that, he modified the English name of this school to Soochow Academy.[20] He invited some famous scholars, including Qian Mu,[21] Zhang Taiyan and Lü Shuxiang.

After Wang resigned in 1931,[22] Jiangsu Province Department of Education let geographer Hu Huanyong at National Central University to take this position temporarily. In July 1932, SHS started to admit girls, which is considered as a progress in China at that time. In the 1st Jiangsu Provincial High School Graduate Examination held in 1933, SHS students attracted nationwide attention by having 24 of them ranked in Top 100 in the province.[23] Two years later, Hu Huanyong returned to National Central University after the negotiation of university and the Department of Education.[24]

On November 19, 1937, the Japanese Army invaded Suzhou and occupied the campus of Suzhou High School. During the 8-year war, the school relocated seven times and changed its name twice, in order to minimize attention. After the fall of Suzhou, SHS initially moved to rural Yixing—the Suzhou High School at Boyang (亳阳苏中). The students and faculty members had to change their campus again when Japanese occupied the whole Sunan (Southern Jiangsu) region. The Suzhou High School at Shanghai (苏中沪校) was located at Fuzhou Road, Shanghai International Settlement.[25] On December 8, 1941, the U.S. declared war upon Japan and the Japanese Army eventually annexed the International Settlement. As a result, SHS moved to Changzhou ("Private Qingyun School", 私立青云), Yixing[26]("Private Hongyi School", 私立弘毅), though in the name of private schools.[27] In October 1945, Suzhou High School finally returned to its original campus after the surrender of Japan.[28] During the 1940s and 1950s, Suzhou High School continued to be one of China's top high schools, with 40-50 students admitted by Peking University, Tsinghua University and Jiaotong University each year.[29] Despite this, the high-level academic atmosphere comparable with top universities no longer existed.[20] During the Chinese Communist Revolution, the People's Liberation Army occupied Suzhou on April 27, 1949 and the Communist Party took over the school.[30]

### During PRC

## Today

In 1978, the school was named as a high school in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and became the first school to restore one of the key secondary schools.

In 1985, the school and the University of Science and Technology co-founded the Junior Class College preparatory classes.

It established friendly relations and cooperation with schools in Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom,[31] the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries more than 10 universities (such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Waseda University, Japan) . In 2007, Suzhou High School introduced the Cambridge International High School program.

Founded in 1996, the Suzhou Lida Middle School was transformed in 2005 into the state-controlled joint-venture Suzhou Lida school. The Suzhou High School Park affiliate was founded in 2003 and located in Suzhou Industrial Park.

In 2004, the school was classified as a four-star high school in Jiangsu Province. For three consecutive years since 1999, the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee and Jiangsu Provincial People's Government awarded the "Civilized Unit of Jiangsu Province pacesetter" honor.
