Education
The students of Zhenhai High School are mainly from Ningbo City, with a small proportion from other parts of Zhejiang Province.
Like many other schools in China, the school curriculum is largely exam-oriented. Zhenhai High School has its reputation in good National College Entrance Examination performances.
Zhenhai High School emphasises on mathematics and science education. Students from Zhenhai High School have won numerous awards in national and international mathematics and science olympiads and other competitions.
In recent years, following the change in government's education policy, Zhanhai High School gradually moves away from the exam-oriented mode and starts to emphasise on an all-rounded education. With its co-curricular activities and various interest groups, Zhenhai High School students can pursue their interests in spare time. Students have won top prizes in national invention competitions and national singing competitions.
Thanks to the generous funding from local government and donation from school alumni, the school underwent major renovation in 2000. The school has a science experiment building, an IT building, a gymnasium, an indoor swimming pool and a library with over 100,000 books.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
