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:
“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On”, has solved and will always solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
