Teaching
The school encourages students to take part in competitions, such as International Olympic competition in physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology as well as sports and games. Many students gain entry to university. In 2000, experimental classes were set up with the purpose of enhancing high-level personal teaching of the most able students. There are now 10 experimental classes. Since 2001, special classes for the artistically talented have been incorporated into the syllabus. In 2001, eligibility for enrolment into the school was extended from city-wide to province-wide.
The school has exchange visits with high schools in America, Britain, France, Japan, Australia, Hungary, Korea, Singapore and Germany.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
