OVERVIEW
In 1950, Fudan University in Shanghai, China founded the High School Affiliated to Fudan University (FDFZ). Occupying an area of five hectares, FDFZ is situated on the campus of Fudan University. Adhering to its parent university’s motto of “Rich in knowledge and tenacious of purpose; inquiring with earnestness and reflecting in depth,” FDFZ aims to give each student a complete education via varied courses, to encourage them in exploring their own interests (sports, arts, organizations, etc.), and to help them better understand China and the world through community participation and exchange programs. In 2002, FDFZ expanded by establishing its International Division, also known today as Fudan International School (FDIS).
