The Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University (Chinese: 北京师范大学第二附属中学) is a secondary school in the north Beijing neighbourhood of Xicheng. As a school "attached" to a major university, it is considered a prestigious institution, and the entry requirements for the programmes are quite rigorous.
The school's character is international, with students from countries such as South Korea and Russia and teachers from Canada and the United States as well as China. There are also foreign programmes taught at the school, such as SYA.
