The High School Affiliated to Renmin University Of China (simplified Chinese: 中国人民大学附属中学; traditional Chinese: 中國人民大學附屬中學; Pinyin: Zhōngguó Rénmín Dàxué Fùshŭ Zhōngxué), colloquially Rendafuzhong abbreviated to RDFZ (Chinese: 人大附中), is the affiliated high school of Renmin University of China, and is one of the most prestigious high schools in Beijing. It is the sister school of Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, Buckingham Browne & Nichols in Massachusetts, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Illinois, and Punahou Academy in Honolulu. RDFZ is situated in Haidian District of Beijing, and also in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Zone. It is among one of the beacon high schools accredited by Beijing Municipal Government. In a 2016 ranking of Chinese high schools that send students to study in American universities, RDFZ ranked number 5 in mainland China in terms of the number of students entering top American universities. The school is also a member of the G20 Schools Group.
In the 1950s, due to the specific political and cultural backgrounds at that time, the government felt the need to establish middle school for blue-collar workers and farmers to increase their labor skills. Thus, the school, originally named Beijing Experimental Fast Track Middle School for Workers and Farmers, was founded directly by the Ministry of Education in January 1950. After only three months of preparation, the school welcomed its first group of students on April 3, 1950. Since it has the duty to experiment, discover and establish the paradigm of education for blue-collar workers and farmers, the word Experimental was placed in the name of the school.
