Xi visits Xiong'an campus of Beijing No. 4 High School

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Monday visited a high school during his inspection to the Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province.

Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, viewed construction progress in the start-up zone and visited China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. and the Xiong'an campus of Beijing No. 4 High School to learn about the development of the Xiong'an New Area.

Located in the start-up zone of Xiong'an New Area, the campus is one of the three schools constructed by Beijing to support the development of the new area. They are the branches of Beijing No. 4 High School, Beijing Shijia Hutong Primary School and Beijing Beihai Kindergarten in Xiong'an, all designated to meet the educational demand of children of those working in organizations relocated as part of the projects to relieve Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as China's capital.

The campus covers an area of 56,600 square meters with a total floor space of 42,600 square meters. It is planned to accommodate 36 classes across junior and senior high school levels, with a total enrollment capacity of 1,350 students. The school officially started recruiting students in September 2023.
