Personal. Public schools refer to schools run by state government departments, and the school funds are basically all from government financial allocations. Nanchuan High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, also known as Nanchuan Affiliated School of Beijing Normal University, is a non-profit mixed-ownership school jointly funded by Beijing Normal University, Nanchuan District People's Government and Beijing Shangrong Zhidian Investment Management Co., Ltd., with a 12-year system of "private system, government support and independent running". Schools are established by social organizations or individuals outside state institutions, rather than funds from the government. Therefore, the affiliated school of Nanchuan Beijing Normal University is not a public school, but a private school.
