Characteristics of Beijing No.21 Middle School

The characteristics of running a school are the fulcrum of a school's development, and our school adheres to the road of "characteristics-quality products". In recent years, the school has formulated a detailed characteristic school-running plan, and a characteristic school-running system based on "running a school with foreign language characteristics" such as foreign language characteristic classes, quick calculation classes, calligraphy classes and literature classes in junior and senior high schools is gradually being established.
