Xi'an Primary School is a renowned public school, classified as a provincial model school directly under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Department of Education. Established in 1926, it is a well-established prestigious institution in Lianhu District.
The full name of Xi'an Primary School is Shaanxi Xi'an Primary School, founded in the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926). It serves as a provincial model experimental primary school directly under the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education.
Its school motto is "Gratitude, Courtesy, Joyful Learning, and Thoughtful Reflection; Unity of Knowledge and Practice."
Currently, Xi'an Primary School has 108 faculty members, all of whom are fully qualified (100% compliance). Among them, there are 15 special-grade teachers, national-level key teachers, and provincial-level key teachers. Over 90% of the teachers hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. The school also boasts 2 national model teachers, 2 special-grade teachers, 3 senior high school teachers, 6 provincial-level teaching experts, and 12 municipal-level teaching experts.
A distinctive feature of Xi'an Primary School is its bilingual education program. English instruction begins in Grade 1, with 5 English classes per week plus an additional foreign teacher-led class, totaling 6 sessions weekly (each 35 minutes long). One day a week features two English classes. For Grades 1 and 2, the focus is on listening, speaking, and reading aloud. For Grades 3 and 4, the focus expands to include copying in addition to listening, speaking, and reading aloud. Similarly, Grades 5 and 6 emphasize listening, speaking, reading aloud, and copying.
Evaluations from current parents (for reference only):
(1) Currently, first-grade homework is moderate, primarily consisting of recitation and character recognition. The school’s teachers are dedicated and responsible, ensuring all homework is completed by 6:30 PM, allowing time for dinner afterward.
(2) Differences from Xinzhi School: Both schools use the same Chinese and math textbooks, but differ in English instruction. A parent of a child who attended kindergarten with my child now goes to Xinzhi School; they post short videos of their child’s English reading on Moments daily. Both schools place strong emphasis on academic rigor.
