It is located in a ’suburb’ of Chengdu city（成都市）called XinDu Qu （新都区）. The school has Primary, Middle, and High School and is very famous and many kids from Sichuan come here. It is a private school, and the students stay in dorms on campus. From my understanding of college education, the dorms are probably bunkbeds with about 8 students per room with a sink and area to hang their clothes. The girls and boys dorimtorys are strictly seperated. There is a school cafeteria that is between the primary and middle/high school campus. The students will eat all their meals there, and spend the rest of the day in the classrooms. They have a 2 hour lunch/nap break at noon. Sometimes they will be in class untill 22:00. Here are just a few pictures I have taken recently of the school.
