The Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China states: "Education, science and technology, and talent are the foundational and strategic pillars for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country." Upholding the principle of educating students to be people of integrity, deepening educational reform, cultivating innovative talent, and advancing the modernization of education represent the mission and responsibility of educators in the new era.

The RDFZ Exceptional Children's Early Development Experimental Program (referred to as the "RDFZ Early Development Class") is an educational reform initiative exploring the early cultivation of innovative talent. The program aims to fuse the best of Chinese and foreign educational philosophies while adhering to comprehensive innovation, and to conduct scientific exploration and research into methods, mechanisms, and models for the early identification, cultivation, and evaluation of exceptional children.

Important notes:

1. Providing false information will result in disqualification from participation in activities and from admission.

3. When filling in the registration information, please describe the specific characteristics that identify your child as an exceptional child. Compared to peers of the same age, please specify in which areas your child is significantly exceptional, and in which areas your child demonstrates special talent or innovative potential.

4. Please do not include extracurricular tutoring experiences or results from extracurricular tutoring when filling in the registration information.。

IV. Eligibility Review

After the online registration period ends, the school will review students' registration information. Students who meet the enrollment criteria will be eligible to participate in subsequent screening activities. The results of the review will be communicated to parents by text message or telephone. Please ensure your mobile phone is accessible.

V. Screening

The screening process consists of three stages: preliminary screening, secondary screening, and camp activities, all to be completed before the end of July.

In order to help students become familiar with online operations, a "full simulation" activity will be arranged before the official activities. All students must participate in the full simulation activity; a student's performance during the full simulation activity will not be used as a basis for screening.

Following the conclusion of the full simulation activity, the preliminary screening will be held. Based on performance in the preliminary screening, a list of students eligible for the secondary screening will be determined. Based on performance in both the preliminary and secondary screenings, the school will determine the list of students invited to the camp activities and notify those students accordingly.

Specific arrangements for the entire process will be communicated to parents by text message or telephone. Please ensure your mobile phone is accessible.

VI. Admission

The school will determine the list of students admitted to the Early Development Class based on the screening results and will notify parents to complete the enrollment procedures.
