The secondary school affiliated to Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College (formerly the secondary school affiliated to Yan 'an Institute of Education) is a high-starting, high-standard and modern complete secondary school funded by the Institute of Education. The establishment of the school has been strongly supported by the government and all walks of life. The minutes of the executive meeting of Yan 'an Municipal Government in 2003 pointed out that the secondary school affiliated to Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College is state-owned and private, and it should be established as a provincial key middle school as soon as possible. The affiliated middle school has elegant environment, pleasant scenery, complete teaching facilities and strong teachers. Since its establishment, the school has created a good social image with advanced educational concepts, brand-new school-running mode and first-class management level, and won wide recognition from the society and parents. Schools adhere to the implementation of quality education and take the road of running schools with characteristics. The management features of our school are: new mechanism, new mode, target management, quantitative management, class democratic management and paramilitary management. In teaching, the classroom teaching characteristics of the affiliated middle school, which is based on inquiry teaching method and students' inquiry learning, integrates North-South styles and highlights bilingual and computer teaching, have initially formed. I firmly believe that the secondary school attached to the Institute of Education will definitely become a first-class characteristic school in Yan 'an.

The secondary school affiliated to Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College, formerly known as the secondary school affiliated to Yan 'an Education College, is a private joint-stock complete secondary school approved by the Municipal Education Bureau in 2003. In 2008, Yan 'an Education College merged with Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College, and the secondary school attached to Yan 'an Education School was affiliated to Yan 'an Vocational and Technical College, so the school recovered all the teachers' personal shares through bank loans, and the school-running system was changed from the original "joint-stock private school" to the "state-owned private school" system. land
