It ranks among the top middle schools in Haidian District, and among the first demonstration senior high schools in Beijing.
          Founded in 1950, BIT Middle School has already a history of more than fifty years. Over the years we have been committed to building a sound, democratic and harmonious school culture which embodies both spirits of modern humanism and sustainable development. By expanding exchange and cooperation with other schools at home and abroad, and creating a top-quality school as our goal, we make incessant explorations in education and teaching and have gradually developed some characteristics unique to our school. These characteristics include: Revitalizing the school with scientific research, human-based education, education for all, all-around development, fostering abilities and stressing special skills.
          Our school has put forward the idea of "laying foundation for the lifelong development of the students and being responsible for the future of the Chinese nation", emphasizing that human development also should take the path of sustainable development. The students should have a sound and harmonious development both physically and mentally, and their basic practical and creative abilities should be cultivated, thus laying a solid foundation for their lifelong learning and lifelong development. To achieve these ends, our school, based on teaching and research, put forward the idea of revitalizing school with scientific research and revitalizing teaching with scientific research. Our school has participated in many research projects, such as the UNESCO "Environment, Population and Sustainable Development" (EPD) Project, the "participatory learning" project launched by the Ministry of Education as a reform of new curricula, and "the teaching model of subjective probe". The aims of doing so are to make attempts to explore new models of education and new models of classroom teaching and to turn out new types of talents fit with the requirements of the times.
          In the design of curriculum, compulsory courses, optional courses and comprehensive practical courses are combined, offering such courses as production of web pages, designing of animation programs, drilling of mathematical thinking, batteries and environmental protection, production of power-driven motor models, oratory and eloquence, drilling of English listening, experiments in modern physics, geographical research, calligraphy and fine arts, music composing and directing, rhythmic gymnastics, and research-oriented learning. For many years, the rates of our students entering senior high schools or colleges and universities always stand at the top in Haidian District, winning a wide acclaim from the public.
          Our school has beautiful surroundings and state-of-the-art facilities. All the classrooms are equipped with multi-media devices. The school has established a campus network that is linked to the Internet, thus the students can freely collect information on-line. Our school has 25 types of classrooms and a 400-m standardized sports-ground, and a library with a storage over 50,000 books..
          A quality faculty is the guarantee for BIT Middle School to be able to push ahead quality-oriented education and improve the teaching quality. The school attaches great importance to fostering teachers. Many professors and special-grade teachers are invited to form a guiding team, instructing young teachers and offering postgraduate programs. In this and other ways, excellent teachers are cultivated and entrusted with greater responsibility. At present, our school claims 40 classes, with 1886 students and195 teaching and administrative staff members. 43% of the teachers are senior and special-grade teachers, 21 are mainstay teachers and leaders in their respective fields, and 40% of teachers have completed courses in postgraduate programs. All the rest of young and middle-aged teachers under age 45 are participating in the postgraduate education program offered jointly with Beijing Normal University.
          In addition to the improvement of the teaching quality, our school also pays much attention to aesthetic education and physical education, which leads to a flowering of student societies. The Gold Sail Band of our school has performed at several concerts, making a visit to Hong Kong, participating in the theatrical performance at the opening ceremony and closing ceremony of the 21st Universiade. The School Chorus made sensational successes repeatedly by participating in the performing contests at the city level and district level. With a good sports tradition, our school has remained for many years at a leading level in Beijing, in such sports as baseball, softball and volleyball. In gymnastics, track and field events, table tennis and basketball, our school is also becoming stronger rapidly.
          In order to improve the quality of junior middle school education and contribute better students to the senior middle school, our school started a unitary educational system with the Branch BIT Middle School in 2001, taking complementary advantages on both sides. With a unitary administration, faculty and teaching facilities, we also recruit excellent teachers nationwide, making up a teaching staff with young and middle-aged teachers as mainstays. These teachers have fresh knowledge and rich teaching experience, and 85% of them have senior or intermediary professional titles.
