The Beijing Ririxin School: Wang Xiaofeng, his wife Zhang Dongqing and a group of parents established the school in 2006. The campus is located in an orchard in Changping district to ensure the children grow up in an environment that's close to nature.
The initial funding came from parents, who also offered to participate in the school's administration. The curriculum is based on the standardized, national system, but it also has a strong emphasis on traditional Chinese culture.
There are now preschool, primary and junior middle school divisions, and there are plans to open a high school division. A branch has also been established in Princeton, New Jersey.
