History

[edit]

The historic precursor of Changzhou Senior High School was Changzhou Institution (常州府学), founded in CE 756. It was transformed to Changzhou Secondary School (常州府中学堂) in 1907. The school endured the wars and the disorder of society in the first few decades in the 20th century. With several changes in nomenclature and pedagogical systems, the school has evolved to Changzhou Senior High School as it is today. With more than 400,000 alumni in over the century since its modern founding, notables of many fields in the nation count Changzhou as their secondary alma mater.
