The school unswervingly follows the road of running a school with characteristics. "Foreign language" is the most important feature of the school. Now it offers three languages: English, Japanese and Korean, and has established long-term friendly and cooperative relations with Tokyo Institute of International Exchange, Ukrainian Crimean State University, South Korea's Shiming University, South Korea's Jinzhou Polytechnic University, and South Korea's Yuanguang University. In addition, the high school's "developing specialty and making breakthroughs in art and sports", "being good at writing and making breakthroughs in Chinese", the establishment of "new moral education" in middle school and the "small class, nationalization, artistry, bilingualism and informationization" in kindergartens and primary schools have formed many characteristics of the school. In addition to English, high schools also offer Japanese and Russian for students to choose from. Hiring foreign teachers to take oral classes all the year round has improved students' oral dialogue and listening level; While using the "national-based curriculum" textbooks, the original British textbooks are introduced as "school-based curriculum" to create an English learning environment; The use of "Planet English" and "Minter English" teaching provides more English learning methods through man-machine dialogue. Kindergarten offers basic oral English conversation classes, primary schools use "Oxford textbooks" and start reading classic works such as "Shakespeare Sonnets".

The characteristics of small class are the first to carry out the "small class tutorial system quality education experiment" in the city. The class size is less than 30 students, and each student is equipped with a "subject tutor" and an "ideological tutor". Personalized tutor guidance, all-round tutor guidance, modern teaching facilities, flexible teaching methods aimed at cultivating students' innovative consciousness and practical ability, and the educational concept of "for students' all-round development" and "laying the foundation for students' life" have become the most powerful guarantee for students' healthy growth. The choice of art as a breakthrough is based on the weak learning foundation of many students and the advantages of the school. It is taught by famous coaches inside and outside the province and excellent teachers led by provincial and municipal teaching experts all the year round. The school gives full play to the role of volleyball club, rugby club, Tsinghua University sports special student training base and China Academy of Fine Arts excellent student source base, so as to achieve early discovery, early training and early success. Artistic and sports achievements rank first in the municipal government year after year. Volleyball and rugby won the national championship and runner-up, which continuously sent talents to Tsinghua University. In the national youth talent competition, the dance team of Taishan Foreign Language School won the only special prize, the gold medal.

Characteristics of Moral Education In June 2007, the school hired Wu Shouchuan, an expert in basic education, as the vice principal in charge of junior high school, and carried out a series of educational and teaching reform experiments with moral education as the starting point, and established "the quality view of all-round development", "the education view of putting people first", "the people-oriented teaching view" and "the professional view of education as service". A three-dimensional education quality evaluation system of "moral character, academic performance and comprehensive ability" has been constructed, which has changed the traditional education and teaching quality evaluation model with academic performance as the only evaluation standard, promoted the implementation of quality education in all departments of the school and effectively improved the quality of education and teaching. From June 5, 2007 to 10, Taishan foreign language school hosted the 20th annual meeting of China Education Association. Gu Mingyuan, President of China Education Association, and Zhang Zhiyong, Deputy Director of Provincial Education Department, visited the school to guide the work, and spoke highly of the school's moral education experiment. In order to adapt to the international integration of education, the international department of the school has set up a study abroad center, a foreign student center, a KLPT training center, a translation center and a foreign teacher club. English, Korean, Japanese and Russian are offered, and foreign teachers from Korea, Japan, Ukraine, Britain, the United States and other countries are hired to teach all the year round; At present, the school has established friendly and cooperative relations with many universities in more than a dozen countries. Up to now, more than 100 students have been sent to study in Japan, more than 50 students have been sent to study in Ukraine, and 100 students have been sent to study in South Korea. The school has received more than 100 students from all over the world to study in the school, and the admission rate of international students to famous universities in the college entrance examination is over 90%.
