At the beginning of the school, it was established that "attaching importance to the whole" is the educational purpose, "sincerity-oriented" is the school spirit and "truth-oriented" is the school motto, aiming at "cultivating normal students who love their country and love teaching, have good temperament, are physically strong and are proficient in primary school teaching methods". Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, schools have fully implemented the Party's educational policy, adhered to the correct direction of running schools, and strived to explore the objective laws of normal education. The school advocates the normalization of normal education and insists on highlighting the essence of normal education; The first batch of English education majors in normal schools have been set up in the province; In the early days, I tried to train primary school teachers at the junior college level; Art education has a long history; Multimedia education technology is one step ahead.

In recent years, the school has adhered to the development strategy of "being an excellent teacher and diversifying development", taking quality as the foundation, taking employment as the goal, combining pre-job training with post-job training, and combining self-running with Sino-foreign cooperation, striving to build a regional primary school teacher training center with distinctive characteristics and superior conditions and a compound talent training base to meet the needs of Nantong's basic education and economic and social development. It is a training base for imported talents in Jiangsu Province, a training base for children's English teachers in Cambridge, Nantong City, and a training base for backbone teachers of Chinese, mathematics, English, science and comprehensive practice in primary schools in Jiangsu Province and Nantong City. In 2004, with the strong support of Chinese and Malaysian government departments, the school officially signed a contract with Malaysia University of Science and Technology, and has an overseas base for all-round cooperation in running schools. Later, it established cooperative relations with domestic and foreign universities such as Singapore Zhiyuan Education College, East China Normal University and Nanjing Art College.
