Sichuan Chengdu Shude High School, also known as Sichuan Chengdu No. 9 High School, is a municipal public secondary school in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. The school is managed by the Chengdu Municipal Education Bureau.
The phrase "Shu De" in the school name translates to "cultivation of morals."[2]
In 1929, Sun Zhen (孫震), the deputy general of the 29th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army of the Kuomintang founded the first Shude Voluntary School. Between 1929 and 1932, Sun Zhen founded four other Shude Primary Schools. Among the four Shude Primary Schools, one of them was later expanded to include a co-educational Middle School division. The boys' division was located at Hsi Lai Temple (西來寺) at Shude Lane (樹德里) on Lingxia Street (寧夏街), while the girls' division was located at Shude Alley (樹德巷) on Lingxia Street (寧夏街). [3]
In the fall of 1937, with the donations from the then Governor of the Sichuan Province, Li Jieren and Chairman Chen of the Jialezi Company, the school was expanded to include a High School division. A school board was formed. Since then, Shude High School became a fully operating co-educational secondary cchool.
Following the establishment of the People's Republic of China, in 1950, the school was nationalized and renamed Chengdu No. 9 High School (成都九中) by the Chengdu Municipal People's Government.
The International Department of Shude High School, jointly set up by Chengdu Shude High School and Chengdu Huaying Consulting and Service Ltd., was accredited by Chengdu Bureau of Education in 2002. (Verification No:(2005) 5). To date, the school offers the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the Advanced Placement (AP) Program.[4] [5]
