[edit] History
The school was established in 1928 as a middle school for boys. In 1930, the name was changed from "Common Middle School" (平民中学) to Beiping No. 5 Middle School (北平市立第五中学). It became co-educational in 1968.
Although the school has been on its current location since 1945, the campus was totally renovated during 1991-1993.
In 1998, the middle school part was spun-off into an independent school, although it still retains the "No. 5" in name.
