Ningbo Cihu High School (Chinese: 宁波市慈湖中学), also known as Cihu High School or Cizhong, is a public senior high school in Cicheng, Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. The school is located at 11 Huanhu Road. Its modern history is usually traced to Cihu School, founded in 1902.[1][2]
History
The school's modern history is usually traced to Cihu School, established in 1902 on the former site of Cihu Academy. Chen Qihuai, Guan Weizhen, Feng Junmu and others helped establish the school, and Guan Weizhen was among its early heads.[2]
In 1934, Cixi County Junior High School was founded. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the school was affected by wartime disruption, and its buildings were destroyed during the Japanese bombing of the Cixi county seat.[3]
After 1949, the school expanded. It began enrolling senior high school students in 1953, was renamed Yuyao No. 2 High School in 1955, and has used the name Ningbo Cihu High School since 1960.[2]
The school marked its 110th anniversary in 2012.[4] In 2022, activities were held to mark the school's 120th anniversary.[5]
Campus and rebuilding
The school is located near Cihu Lake in Cicheng. After rebuilding in the 1990s, the campus covered about 134 mu and had a building area of about 30,000 square metres.[2]
In the 1990s, members of the Ying family in Taiwan helped fund the school's rebuilding. Ying Minghao donated 15.5 million yuan on behalf of the family for the rebuilding of Ningbo Cihu High School.[6]
Ing Chang-ki, a businessman and Go promoter from Cicheng, was also associated with the rebuilding and supported construction projects in his hometown, including the rebuilding of Cihu High School.[7]
In 2004, Chen Shutong, who lived in the United States, donated US$100,000 to the school. The donation was used to establish a scholarship fund for students with strong academic and conduct records who were in financial need.[8]

Ningbo Cihu High School has had an exchange relationship with Adam-Kraft-Gymnasium in Schwabach, Bavaria, Germany. In 2012, during Cihu High School's 110th anniversary, the two schools signed a cooperation and friendship agreement covering student exchanges and information sharing on school systems, school management, curricula and teaching methods. In July 2013, Adam-Kraft-Gymnasium hosted a delegation from Ningbo Cihu High School for the third time.[9]
