Guangdong Experimental High School (simplified Chinese: 广东实验中学; traditional Chinese: 廣東實驗中學; pinyin: Guǎngdōng shíyàn Zhōngxué; Jyutping: Gwong2dung1 Sat9jim6 Zung1hok9) is a Public High School in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China.

[2] The school is commonly known as SS[citation needed], an abbreviation of Sheng Shi or Sang Sat,(simplified Chinese: 省实; traditional Chinese: 省實; pinyin: shěngshí; Jyutping: saang2sat9) by parents and students in Guangzhou[citation needed].

[3] It is backed up by the story that the school selected the year to commemorate Sun Yat-sen.[4] In 1888, Dr. Andrew Patton Happer established the Christian College in Shaji, Guangzhou, known as '广东格致学堂' in Chinese.

It was then reformed into National Higher Normal College, known as '两广优级师范学堂' in Chinese, in 1910 to train teachers within Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces.

Although they are administered by the same senior management team and have links with SS's main campus, they are highly independent and completely privately funded.

Guangdong Experimental School has always maintained a fairly high entrance requirement to ensure the limited places are offered to students who meet the academic standard.

[citation needed] The school also encourages students to have talents besides academics, primarily in sports and performing arts, to apply.

This policy has attracted many student athletes, singers and dancers, and it proves to be a successful measure in boosting the school's competitiveness outside academic areas.

There is a gym primarily for badminton, table tennis and eight outdoor basketball courts and a standard 400m track with a football pitch in the middle.

[citation needed] The school offers a vast range of extracurricular activities to the students.

Guangdong Experimental High School Choir, founded in 1952, has participated in many national and international chorus competitions and won.

Being a choir that was made up of no professionals but only high school students, it has won nine consecutive champions in the Interscholastic Chorus Competitions.

Recent awards were received from festivals held in Australia, Austria, Japan, Korea and Germany.

The popularity of basketball has had a dramatic growth in high schools in recent years, with students' participation rapidly increasing.

Tryouts are normally held in the second semester every year for Senior 1 students for the coming season.

In September 2011, several major medias reported that a new campus of SS in Los Angeles, CA, United States was established, which made SS the first Chinese high school to have a campus in the United States of America.
