Shenzhen Foreign Languages School, or SFLS for short, is a prestigious high school in China which specializes in language studies. Located in Shenzhen, a coastal special economic zone in Guangdong Province, China, it provides students with study in English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish and Russian. Besides excellence in languages, Shenzhen Foreign Languages School is well-known for its performance in the Chinese university administration examination, commonly known as the Gaokao. In the 2011 Gaokao, the percentage of SFLS students admitted to undergraduate studies was 99.53%.
The first Principal Mr. Gong Guoxiang started the school in 1990, with nine teachers, 50 students and three classrooms. In 1994, the school, with its secondary and high school department, moved to its new site in the heart of the city at Hongli Road and Yannan Avenue. It was also the Center for Japanese Language Research back then.
In 2003, the Senior High Department was moved to the seaside Yantian District, at the foot of Wutong Mountain.
Today, Shenzhen Foreign Languages School has been expanded to an integrated school-system with Primary School, Secondary School, High School, Longgang Branch, and a kindergarten.
The students are involved in academic contests, extracurricular activities, varsity sports and international communication.
With the help of a recently established Advanced Placement center, graduates of the school have gone on abroad to become students of worldwide well-known universities such as the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Harvard, Chicago University, University of California, Stanford University, Cornell University, Duke University etc.
