It is a full-time high school providing education to students aged from 12-15 (junior high school) and 15-18 (senior high school). Foreign language teaching is traditionally a specialty.

“It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
“Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Was there a little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false?”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
