The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (RDFZ; {{zh|s=中国人民大学附属中学|first=s|labels=no}}) is a public high school in Haidian, Beijing, China. It is affiliated with the Renmin University of China.

History

The school was established on April 3, 1950 as the Beijing Experimental Accelerated Middle School for Workers and Farmers ({{lang|zh|北京实验工农速成中学}});{{cite web|url=http://www.moe.edu.cn/edoas/website18/84/info4984.htm|url-status=dead|title=Jiàoyù 50 nián dàshìjì|work=Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China|language=Chinese|trans-title=Education: 50 Years of Memorabilia|script-title=zh:教育50年大事记|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090814161809/http://www.moe.edu.cn/edoas/website18/84/info4984.htm|archive-date=14 August 2009|access-date=13 October 2019}} though plans to create an experimental school for Beijing's growing population existed as early as January of that year.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}} Created by the Chinese Ministry of Education, which had been formally established only a year earlier, the school was used to further develop China's education system.

In 1952, the school became affiliated with Renmin University of China and was renamed to Workers and Farmers' Accelerated Middle School Attached to Renmin University of China ({{lang|zh|中国人民大学附设工农速成中学}}). In 1955, the school broadened its student population beyond workers and farmers and broadened its curriculum to include traditional high school classes.{{cite web|url=http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19501955/t20030415_7073.htm|url-status=dead|title=Sù zhōng de jiéshù|date=10 December 2001|work=High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China|language=Chinese|trans-title=The End of speed|script-title=zh:速中的结束|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716134856/http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19501955/t20030415_7073.htm|archive-date=16 July 2011|access-date=13 October 2019}} In 1956, the school was again renamed, this time to Workers' and Farmers' High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, a name that was kept until 1960, when the name was finally changed to its current name, the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China.

With Renmin University of China closed by the Beijing Revolutionary Committee during the Cultural Revolution in October 1970,{{Cite web|url=https://www.ruc.edu.cn/history|url-status=live|title=Lìshǐ yángé|work=Renmin University Of China|language=Chinese|trans-title=History|script-title=zh:历史沿革|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190618112412/https://www.ruc.edu.cn/history|archive-date=18 June 2019|access-date=13 October 2019}} the school briefly changed its name to Beijing Middle School No. 172.{{cite web|url=http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19661976/201012/t20101214_19865.html|url-status=live|title=Wéngé dòngluàn yǔ xuéxiào gēngmíng wèi 172 zhōngxué|date=8 December 2001|work=High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China|language=Chinese|trans-title=The Cultural Revolution and how the school changed its name to Beijing No. 172 Middle School|script-title=zh:文革动乱与学校更名为172中学|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181006092855/http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19661976/201012/t20101214_19865.html|archive-date=6 October 2018|access-date=13 October 2019}} When Renmin University of China reopened in 1978, the school reaffirmed its affiliation to the university and the school's name was changed back.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19761992/201012/t20101214_19869.html|url-status=live|title=Bōluànfǎnzhèng yǒng dǎ gāokǎo fānshēn zhàng|date=11 December 2001|work=High School Affiliated to Renmin University Of China|language=Chinese|trans-title=Let go of the chaos|script-title=zh:拨乱反正勇打高考翻身仗|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181006094151/http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xscl/19761992/201012/t20101214_19869.html|archive-date=6 October 2018|access-date=13 October 2019}}

A 2012 article in The New York Times alleged that the school was one of many in China to illegally accept bribes to admit students; however, this claim was denied by school officials.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/22/world/asia/in-china-schools-a-culture-of-bribery-spreads.html|title=A Chinese Education, for a Price|last=Levin|first=Dan|date=21 November 2012|work=The New York Times|access-date=14 October 2019}}

Structure

= Administration =

The school is also a branch of RDFZ United, an administrative body presiding over a number of schools internationally. Besides RDFZ, there are more than ten schools under the administration of RDFZ United. For example, the Shenzhen Branch of the High School Affiliated to the Renmin University of China (中国人民大学附属中学深圳分校) is a new secondary school established in 2017 in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

RDFZ United is one of the few Chinese educational organizations that have branches located outside mainland China. Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science, created by a joint venture between Chinese investor Jiang Bairong and RDFZ,{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1575072/more-chinese-high-school-students-heading-us|title=More Chinese high school students heading for US|date=17 August 2014|work=South China Morning Post|access-date=14 October 2019}} is a member of RDFZ United located in Princeton, New Jersey.{{Cite web|url=http://www.prismsus.org/about/|url-status=live|title=About|work=Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190213231229/http://www.prismsus.org/about/|archive-date=13 February 2019|access-date=14 October 2019}}

Because the growing number of schools that fall under the administration of RDFZ United, a council was created to formalize the management structure of RDFZ United. Council members are mainly officials from Renmin University of China. RUC President is an ex officio member. RDFZ United's founding principal Liu Pengzhi is the chancellor of the Council. Among others, Vice President of RUC, Dean of RUC School of Law, and Principal of RDFZ are also elected to the Council.{{Cite web|url=https://news.ruc.edu.cn/archives/289621|url-status=live|title=中国人民大学附属中学联合学校总校理事会第五次会议召开|work=Renmin University of China|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201021051356/https://news.ruc.edu.cn/archives/289621|archive-date=21 October 2020|access-date=28 December 2020}}

The staff includes 50 special-class teachers and over 170 senior-level teachers. 16 teachers have been conferred the title of "pillar teacher" at the national level, and another 25 at the Beijing municipal level. 37 are recognized as advanced individuals in their disciplines in Haidian District. There are more than 40 foreign teachers from the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rdfz.cn/xxgk/xxjj/201012/t20101214_19976.html|title=Xuéxiào jiǎnjiè 2015|url-status=dead|author=Sun Jiangbo|date=1 May 2015
