History[edit]
The High School affiliated to Beijing Normal University was formerly known as Wucheng School (五城学堂). In Qing Dynasty, the capital Beiping (former Beijing) was divided into five cities: East, west, north, south and middle city.[1] The name Wucheng School means "five cities school." It was founded in 1901 by Chen Bi (add more about him) as the chief supervisor.[2] In 1908, the school was divided into two school, Wucheng School and Superior Normal School. In 1912, Superior Normal School was changed into Beijing Higher Normal School, and Wucheng School was changed into the Affiliated Middle School of Beijing Higher Normal School.
In 1921, a women's department was added, which was the beginning of coeducation in middle schools in Beijing. In 1923, with the upgrading of Beijing Higher Normal School to Beijing Normal University, Wucheng Middle School became the affiliated middle school of Beijing Normal University. It became the first public middle school in China.[3]
In the following decades, the High School affiliated to Beijing Normal University changed its name several times. 1977 Beijing Municipal Committee approved the restoration of the original name Beijing Normal University Affiliated High School.
