The school is located on Xinshiliang Road in Daliang, the central urban area of Shunde, beside the Guipan River, enjoying convenient transportation and a prime location. The campus environment is elegant, covering an area of 100 mu with a floor area of 70,050 square meters and 100% greenery coverage. All education and teaching facilities meet or exceed the provincial first-class school standards, and air conditioning is installed in all classrooms, dormitories and public spaces such as the library, canteen and gymnasium.

Since its founding, the school has carried forward the fine traditions of Shunde No.1 Middle School, upheld the century-old school's cultivation goals of "learning to conduct oneself, learning to seek knowledge, learning to get things done, and learning to keep fit", and, in light of its own realities, established the school-running philosophy of "harmony and development", with the mission of "laying the foundation for students' lifelong development, paving the way for teachers' professional development, and reforming for the school's future development", striving to build an educational ecosystem suited to cultivation and growth.

The school is led by the renowned expert principal Mr. Tan Jinshi, supported by an experienced professional management team. It boasts a strong teaching faculty: all full-time teachers are fully qualified, including several special-grade teachers, associate professors and lecturers from prestigious universities, and 30 senior-grade teachers, as well as a group of master's degree graduates from the world's top 100 universities or leading domestic universities. The faculty also includes winners of honors such as the "21st Century Asian Education Reform and Innovation Award" conferred by the Asian Education Reform Research Association, "National Advanced Teacher in Moral Education Research" and "Gold Medal Coach of the International English Elite Competition", as well as a recipient of the "United Nations Medal of Peace"; 7 teachers have won national-level or above honorary titles, 20 at the provincial level, 26 at the prefectural and municipal levels, and 80 at the county and district levels, along with a group of backbone teachers and subject leaders at the provincial, municipal and district levels.

The school regards students' developmental needs as the direction of its education, and has actively pioneered a path of personalized, diversified and internationalized schooling to cultivate students who develop in an all-round way while expressing their individuality, with remarkable results. Diversification is the natural outcome of personalization: the demands of personalized education have given rise to diversified and internationalized classroom teaching and student cultivation, and in turn a diversified and internationalized university admissions landscape. The school makes full use of social educational resources at home and abroad to provide students with diversified and internationalized university guidance and a wide variety of pathways to higher education. Since its establishment in 2016, the school's International Division has sent nearly 500 students to quality overseas universities, more than 60 of whom have entered the world's top 100 universities. Physical education and arts education are flourishing at the school, with classes offered in media arts, fine arts, music, sports, dance sport and ethnic dance, making sports and arts education another distinctive feature of the school. This diversified approach provides students with personalized teaching services and meets their needs for a wide range of higher education pathways.
