Phoenix School for Girls

Phoenix School for Girls

The Phoenix School for Girls is a non-profit secondary school for girls in rural Xiaoshicun, Hunan Province, China. The school was established to address the shortage in educational options for rural girls, who are often denied educations due to the high costs of tuition. The school is the product of collaborations between the local community and the American Friends Service Committee.

The first class graduated in June 2005.

During the summer, an alternative summer camp is held at the Phoenix School, called [http://www.pym.org/workcamp/China/china.htm China Summer] . The classes are taught by volunteers from the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea. Class topics range from English to astronomy to insect biology, with the emphasis on providing the students with an experience that is different from their standard educations.
