In Yinghua Junior High School, we are committed to providing companionship in education and growth for students in grades 7-9, helping them find the most suitable way of growth during the important transition period from primary school to high school.
With the focus on the forefront of education reform, we are committed to awakening human life consciousness, building a spiritual home for mankind, and enhancing the value of human life through education. Upon the pooling of the wisdom of all teachers, we develop the domestically pioneered PDC (Problem Driven Classrooms) education concept, and use it as the core to construct a “Discovery+· 3c” curriculum system with the focus on student growth. We break through the traditional classrooms with diversified modes and independent choices, to fully meet the needs of personalized development of students, nourish their spiritual world with education, trigger their life potential, extend their life tension, help students awaken their internal drive for knowledge in the process of constantly discovering, improving, and surpassing themselves, and make them into lifelong learners upon the foundation for their lifelong happiness.
Under the guidance of the PDC concept, Yinghua Junior High School graduates have topped in the Tianjin high school entrance examinations for three consecutive years (2018, 2019, 2020), with doublings in the number of high-performance students, overall comprehensive scores, full marks for individual subjects, and average scores for each class.

Based on Yinghua’s “discovery + curriculum system”, we have gradually formed a “3C” stepwise curriculum that includes the concept of “autonomy + exploration” to involve both teachers and students in solving problems together among a teacher-student learning community.

The "Discovery+· 3C" curriculum system, supported by the PDC concept in junior high school, starts from “people” and “self”. It consists of 4 dimensions, 12 key points, 36 literacy items, and 9 major courses. By fully focusing on the core literacy of young people, we truly achieve the goal of learning according to needs of individual students. In the project-based active learning process, we transfer the initiative of knowledge construction to students to fully mobilize their internal drive for knowledge, and make teachers the designers, organizers, instigators, evaluators, and promoters of learning activities, while students the main body, participants, experiencers, solvers, and reflectors of the classroom. With the two parties complement each other, grow together, we ultimately help students acquire the ability to discover and grow into lifelong learners.
