The PSAXJTU ,east of XJTU,is a modern school with deep-rooted culture.It used to be the primary school of Nanyang College founded in 1897 in Shanghai.In 1956,it moved to Western China due to the main part of XJTU moving from Shanghai to xi'an.Then,it was rebuilt in the current location,renamed PSAXJTU,and has come into present being after times of enlarging construction.It covers an area of 9360 square meters,comprising of 36 classes in 5 teaching buildings for 2166 teachers and students.

     PSAXJTU provides its students with diversity of stages so that they can show themselves, like the book bar ,the column of book-reading reports, the window-display of students'DIY work and the classroom for young learners of drawing, which are all playing an important role of culture communication. Further more, PSAXJTU,its teachers,students,and students' parents can exchange their ideas with each other through PSAXJTU's web on line whose columns are: the digital library, the PSAXJTU's blog, the forum of each class and the forum of parents and the school. Teachers in PSAXJTU are encouraged to show their potential and merits. As a result, teachers have come up with a variety of text books written by teachers in PSAXJTU, such as, A course fo How to play the Flute, Campus English and Learn to Use Flash(a software)in Art Class which have all been published, and some of which are issued nationwide in China. Especially, the textbook-The Folk Art of Guanzhong (the plain in central Shaanxi Province),with local peculiarities, is being worked on. Its teaching is in line with the principle that human interests are the starting point.

    Student-centered approaches are adopted in class instructions, which can be exemplified by the multifaceted evaluation mechanism of student work. Students are evaluated in terms of background, form, style, learning phase and efficiency so that they will be able to have a clear, objective understanding of themselves, thus leading to a all-around, healthy development and improvement on students. Besides, our school has attached great importance to deepening the education reforming movements, which is in particular true of English teaching classes. A great many foreign teachers have been invited as teaching consultants, who provide precious help and advice to enhance the teaching efficiency. Regarding on-campus activities, more social activities such as speech contests, a Chinese poem-reciting contest, an essay-writing competition, a 100-student calligraphy contest and a webpage-making competition have been launched in order to activate the students' interest in manual work and motivate their creativity. More social clubs such as the swimming team, aeromodelling group, school orchestra and choir, the student poetry association are open to students to expand their knowledge, develop their individualism identity and thus improve their comprehensive skills.

    The establishment of parent's school provides fine environment of education through the common efforts of PSAXJTU,the community and students' families.
