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:
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
