The school aims to encourage students’ individual uniqueness, creativity, self-discipline and all-around development. And the school has gained prestigious reputation in many aspects. According to their statistics, “the college admission rate of the school's senior class has remained 100%. About 80% of the graduates enroll in key universities in the nation for higher education.”
Mr. Shen Ronghe comments at the signing ceremony that by becoming an AST test center, Hangzhou No. 2 High School has taken a great step in cooperating with high-end international programs. The collaboration serves as a platform for cultivating more future leaders with international vision and abilities. It provides more opportunities for students aiming to be admitted to many of the world’s leading universities. Professor David Cardwell also expressed his wishes for more elite Chinese students to join University of Cambridge and realize their dreams.
