办学情况
吉首一中
The Jishou No. 1 Middle School is situated in western Hunan, 60 miles from the Zhangjiajie nature preserve, a United Nations Natural Heritage site. Hunan is well-known for producing Chinese leaders, including Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic of China, Liu Shaoqi, its former President, and Peng Dehuai, its former defense minister.
Jishou city is the capital of the Tu and Miao Minorities Autonomous Region, which has an annual per capita income of $300 (US). Since most of our students will come from this poor region, the school will provide exceptional opportunities to deserving students, especially women and minority students, from poor backgrounds.
The school is a coeducational institution with 3600 students. Through course work and superior educational instruction, students, grades 7-12, will achieve outstanding intellectual, moral, and physical development in preparation for college and vocational careers, possibilities hitherto beyond the reach of students with such backgrounds. Students will be prepared to attain high international standards of academic achievement, intellectual growth, ethical awareness and behavior, cultural tolerance, and service to others.
The school takes leadership seriously and stresses moral character for all of our students.
