## Introduction

[Nanning No.2 High School International Division (南宁市第二中学国际部)](https://alifaedtech.com/schools/nanning-no2-high-school-international-division) is the international programme of one of the oldest and most respected public high schools in Guangxi, China. The parent school opened in 1906 — in 2026 it marks 120 years. The International Division is much younger: [it started in April 2012, after approval by the Guangxi Department of Education, and was Nanning’s first Sino-foreign cooperative education programme.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

This guide is written in plain English for families outside China. It answers the simple questions first: where the school is, why local families rank it so highly, what the International Division teaches, and who is allowed to apply.

## Where Is the School?

The International Division sits on the Fengling Campus, which is the senior high school campus of Nanning No.2\. The address is [66 Yunjing Road, Qingxiu District, Nanning (南宁市青秀区云景路66号), postcode 530029](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南宁市第二中学).

Qingxiu District is the newer, greener side of Nanning. It holds most of the city’s government offices, business towers and modern housing. The Fengling area is a hill district on the east side of the city. [The division gives the campus area as 453 mu](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw), which is roughly 30 hectares. ([Baidu Baike lists 423 mu.](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学) Either way it is one of the largest high school campuses in the city.) The International Division office is in Room 110 of the administration building.

Getting There 

| [Coordinates](https://maps.google.com/?q=22.8257,108.4208) | 22.8257° N, 108.4208° E                                                                                                           |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Nanning East Railway Station                               | About 2 km north. This is the city’s main high-speed rail station and a metro stop.                                               |
| Nanning Wuxu International Airport                         | About 35 km south-west. Around 45 minutes by car in normal traffic.                                                               |
| City                                                       | Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region                                                                      |
| Region context                                             | Nanning is China’s permanent host city for the China–ASEAN Expo. It is the closest provincial capital to mainland Southeast Asia. |

For families in Southeast Asia, Nanning is easier to reach than Beijing or Shanghai. The airport has direct flights to several ASEAN cities. Living costs are also much lower than in China’s first-tier cities.

The School Has More Than One Campus 

This matters, because parents often arrive at the wrong gate. Nanning No.2 runs three campuses:

| [Fengling Campus (凤岭校区)](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南宁市第二中学) | Senior high school and the **International Division**. 66 Yunjing Road, Qingxiu District. Opened to students in 2008. |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Xinmin Campus (新民校区)](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南宁市第二中学)   | Junior high school. 29 Xinmin Road, city centre. This is the historic site of the school.                             |
| [Qingyun Campus (青运校区)](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/南宁市第二中学)  | Junior high school. 121 Nahuang Avenue, Liangqing District.                                                           |

The school also helped found a partner school, Nanning ASEAN Middle School (南宁市东盟中学), in 2013\. It is a separate school with its own management.

## Why Is Nanning No.2 High School So Famous?

Outside China, almost nobody has heard of this school. Inside Guangxi, it is a household name. Here is why, in order of how much weight local families give each point.

1\. It Is 120 Years Old 

[The school began in 1906 as Nanning Prefecture Middle School (南宁府中学堂). Over the next fifty years it changed its name many times, moved during the war years, and merged with other schools. It took its current name in August 1954.](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

[In January 2026 the school held the launch ceremony for its 120th anniversary.](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/) Very few schools in southern China can show that kind of unbroken record.

2\. It Holds the Top Official Labels 

[One of Guangxi’s first group of key middle schools (首批重点中学)](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

[One of Guangxi’s first group of demonstration high schools (首批示范性普通高中)](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学) — the provincial top tier

[Named a Chinese famous school in 1992, and given the “China Top 100 High Schools” title (中国百强中学) in 2005](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

3\. Its Teaching Staff Is Unusually Senior 

[**38 teachers** have earned the national special-grade teacher rank (特级教师) over the years, with more than 20 still teaching. Around **100 teachers** hold senior rank.](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

[Two staff members have received special State Council allowances for expert work.](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

4\. It Wins at the National Competition Level 

[In January 2026, student Zhang Yuhan was the only student in all of Guangxi shortlisted for Peking University’s Mathematics Talent Class (数学英才班).](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/)

[In June 2026, Professor Qu Zhenhua — team leader of China’s International Mathematical Olympiad squad — visited the campus to teach.](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/)

[In 2026, students won three golds and one silver at the U15 World School Games, reported by Guangxi Daily.](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/)

[The school’s youth symphony orchestra took first prize at the Nanning city arts festival finals.](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/)

5\. Its Graduates Are Visible 

[Older alumni include General Mo Wenhua, economist Li Jingwen, and conductor Chen Chuanxi.](https://baike.baidu.com/item/南宁市第二中学)

Younger alumni show up in technology and research: the school profiles graduates now working in quantum computing and large language models, and students admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University.

**One Point of Local Knowledge**  
Ask any parent in Nanning to name the two best public high schools in the city, and they will say Nanning No.2 and Nanning No.3\. The rivalry between them is friendly and very well known. There is no single official document that ranks them — treat this as local opinion rather than as a fact you can cite.

## What Is the International Division?

[The International Division was approved by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Education in April 2012, under document number 桂教国交〔2012〕44号.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw) [The division describes itself as Nanning’s first Sino-foreign cooperative education programme and one of Guangxi’s first group of demonstration international schools.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw)

![Nanning No.2 High School International Division robotics, fencing and science lab](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/81/c28166d6-22ce-4cad-9c10-4defbc55a069/content/images/2026/08/2-9.jpg)

Nanning No.2 High School International Division robotics, fencing and science lab

[The programme is small and stable. It takes 120 students a year into four classes and runs for three years.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw) Teaching is at the Fengling Campus. On the division’s own numbers that works out at about 30 students per class.

**One thing the school’s own documents disagree on**  
  
[The 2025 admissions brochure](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw) and [the spring 2026 transfer notice](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg) both describe the four classes as four AP classes. A [separate 2025 brochure, published on a school-linked account](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KmtVA5MtxpdY20JySnxfPg), describes them as three AP classes plus one Cambridge A-Level class. The division does hold Cambridge authorisation and markets a [“double-A” offer combining AP and A-Level](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KmtVA5MtxpdY20JySnxfPg), so an A-Level stream plausibly exists — but the split is not settled across sources. **If your child wants A-Level rather than AP, confirm the class exists for the year you are applying before you commit.**

## Curriculum

The programme is [AP](https://blog.alifaedtech.com/ap-courses-in-china-step-by-step-guide-to-us-college-entry/)\-led. AP stands for Advanced Placement — university-level courses from the United States, taken while still in high school, and accepted by universities in many countries. [The division lists seven AP subjects:](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw)

AP Subjects Offered 

AP Calculus AP Statistics AP Macroeconomics AP Microeconomics AP Biology AP Physics AP Chemistry 

![Nanning No.2 High School International Division art, classroom, football and workshop](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/81/c28166d6-22ce-4cad-9c10-4defbc55a069/content/images/2026/08/1-8.jpg)

[Since 2025 the division has also marketed a “double-A” offer — AP plus Cambridge A-Level — and calls itself the first international school in South China to run both as gold-medal programmes.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/KmtVA5MtxpdY20JySnxfPg) A-Level is the main British qualification and is the stronger route for students targeting UK universities. See the note above on how many classes each stream actually gets.

The China–US Dual Diploma 

[The AP side is run jointly with a partner high school in the United States — a US public charter school the division names in Chinese as 力德士高中.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw) A student who completes the American courses and passes the assessments receives that school’s US high school diploma.

[Alongside it, students study part of the Chinese national curriculum and sit the Chinese high school academic proficiency examination (学业水平考试). Passing it earns the Chinese high school diploma.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw)

[A graduate can hold two diplomas — one Chinese and one American — from two named institutions.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw) The division presents this as “multiple exits”: a student is not locked into one country’s university system.

## Authorisations and Partners

This is where the division separates itself from the many Chinese schools that simply teach AP. [Its published list of authorisations and awards includes:](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw)

[The only school in Guangxi authorised by both **OxfordAQA** and **Cambridge**](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw) — British qualifications sit alongside the American ones

[Official examination centre for the Australian AMC and other international competitions](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BdBaKiijM6OjP-FeDDWfTw)

**One caution:** these are the division’s own published descriptions. We have not independently confirmed any of them with OxfordAQA, Cambridge, USC, LSE or Monash. If a specific one matters to your decision, ask for the certificate or centre number.

## Tuition

[Tuition is **RMB 78,000 per year**, and that includes textbooks.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw) [The division published the same figure for the 2025 intake and for the 2026 spring transfer intake, so the fee has held steady.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg) At mid-2026 exchange rates it is roughly **US$11,000**.

This is a public school international division, and the fee is well below what private [international schools in Beijing](https://blog.alifaedtech.com/top-07-schools-in-beijing-china/), Shanghai and Shenzhen normally charge. What is not published is boarding, meals, uniform, examination entry fees, or the cost of the overseas trips described below. **Ask for a full written cost breakdown before you commit.**

## University Results

This is the strongest part of the division’s public record. Read the numbers with one thing in mind: **these are offer counts, not student counts.** One student who applies to nine University of California campuses and gets five is five offers. That is normal practice and not dishonest, but it means an offer total is several times larger than the class size.

[For a single year group, the most recent officially published figures are for the **class of 2024**: 420 offers, scholarships of about RMB 3.69 million, more than six offers per student on average, and a best individual result of 11 offers with a US$54,000 scholarship.](https://nn2z.nnedu.com/deatils?id=ed3f1139676a4bfa800e495556cd77d4)

The class of 2025 is covered inside the cumulative totals above. The division has not published a separate offer report for that cohort on any page we could verify.

Read the pattern rather than the peaks. The bulk of the record sits in strong public research universities in the US, Russell Group universities in the UK, and Group of Eight universities in Australia. The division does also report Ivy League and UK G5 offers — 143 and 69 respectively across twelve years — so elite outcomes happen, but they are the exception across more than 970 graduates, not the norm. For a family that wants a dependable route into a good English-speaking university, with a real chance at something higher, this is an honest and useful record.

## Who Can Apply?

There are two separate routes, and this matters enormously for families outside Nanning. Most guides only mention the first.

Route 1 — Grade 10 Entry, for Nanning Students 

This is the main intake: [120 places a year for current-year junior high graduates.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

[A current-year junior high graduate from Nanning who plans to study abroad. The 2025 intake was drawn from Nanning’s six urban districts.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

[A total grade of **B+ or above** in the Nanning senior high entrance examination (中考), with every single subject at grade C or above.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

[Mathematics and English subject grades are given weight.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

[Must pass the division’s own entrance test and an interview.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

A supplementary round for the 2026 intake opened on 31 July 2026\. For that round the division also required that the applicant had **no grade D in any subject** and had **not already been admitted to another high school.** *(Source: division’s official WeChat account, located via Sogou WeChat search. No permanent link available.)*

Route 2 — Transfer Entry, Open to Students from Across China 

This is the route most families outside Nanning do not know exists. [For the spring 2026 transfer intake, the division accepted:](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

[Students currently in **Grade 10 or Grade 11** at a demonstration high school in urban Nanning, or at a **provincial-level demonstration high school anywhere in China**](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

[A 2024 or 2025 中考 score that met the admission line for a demonstration high school in the applicant’s own province](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

[For Nanning candidates: total **B+ or above** with every subject at C or above](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

[A comprehensive quality evaluation result of grade A or B is acceptable](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

[The entrance test is marked out of **120**. A score above 60 gives priority in admission.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uRMDo3Q1ZI3r2rUkPeZ8qg)

Places on this route are limited and admission is competitive. But the eligibility wording is explicitly **national, not local.**

Documents Required 

[中考 admission ticket, the score slip, junior high award certificates, the household register (户口本), the junior high student handbook, the junior high graduation certificate, and five passport-sized photographs](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

[Applications are processed in order of submission, with complete files scheduled for testing first.](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/v7frv8JXdQab9vrZNR2Bnw)

Important for Foreign Passport Holders 

Both routes are built on the Chinese 中考 system and on enrolment at a Chinese demonstration high school. Every document on the required list is a Chinese school document. We searched the division’s official website and WeChat account for a policy covering foreign passport holders and Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan students, and **found none published either way.**  
  
If your child is in the Chinese school system, Route 2 is open to you regardless of province. If your child holds a foreign passport and has never studied in a Chinese school, there is no published pathway — which is not a refusal, but it does mean **you must ask before you plan around it.** Contact the division directly, or ask Alifa Education to make that enquiry in Chinese on your behalf.

## What We Could Not Confirm

We only publish what we can check. We searched for the following and found nothing published, so we list them as open questions rather than guessing:

**Costs beyond tuition.** The RMB 78,000 covers tuition and textbooks. There is no published figure for boarding, meals, uniform, examination entry fees, or the overseas trips.

**Boarding arrangements** for International Division students specifically.

**Number of foreign teachers.** The division confirms every class has a foreign homeroom teacher, but publishes no headcount.

**Eligibility for foreign passport holders** and for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan students.

**Independent confirmation** of the OxfordAQA, Cambridge, USC and Monash relationships. The division lists them; we have not verified them with those bodies.

Ask the school these five questions in your first email. **Any good international division will answer them in writing.**

## Living in Nanning

Nanning is a green, warm, mid-sized Chinese capital city of several million people. It is known inside China as the “Green City” for its tree cover. The climate is subtropical: hot and wet summers, mild winters, and almost no snow.

**Cost.** Food, transport and housing in Nanning cost far less than in Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen.

**Distance.** Nanning is the natural entry point to China from the ASEAN side. Flight times to Hanoi, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur are short.

## Is This School Right for Your Child?

Be honest about the fit. This is a Chinese academic school with an international programme bolted on, not a Western-style international school.

It Suits a Student Who 

Is strong in mathematics

Is comfortable in a demanding Chinese classroom culture

Already has a good level of English

Wants a US-style university application supported by a Chinese diploma

Is looking for value: **RMB 78,000 a year including textbooks**, against a twelve-year record of more than **5,400 overseas university offers** — one of the better-value AP programmes in southern China

It May Not Suit a Student Who 

Speaks no Chinese

Needs a full English-medium environment

Needs a wide choice of arts or sports pathways

Holds a foreign passport with no Chinese school record

Comes from a family whose only acceptable outcome is an Ivy League place — the record shows those happen here, but rarely
