Sitting on the other half is the school itself, which consists of two classroom buildings A and B, and C the administrative center.

Bittersweet Transition 蜕变
While we have enjoyed our time here at Futian Experimental, we’ve now outgrown our present home and like the industrious but limited caterpillar, must now prepare for our inevitable transformation into something far more beautiful and capable. We welcome you all to accompany us on what is certain to be a very interesting year to come.
