In 2006, Songjiang District People's Government met the needs of new town development and Songjiang people's growing demand for high-quality high school education. In order to alleviate the pressure of degree shortage and large class size in the new urban area, it was decided to buy back the private Shanghai New Century Jianghai School. On the basis of integrating the high-quality educational resources of Songjiang No.6 Middle School and Songjiang Experimental Middle School of China Normal University, a public Songjiang Experimental High School of East China Normal University was established.
The school covers an area of 68845m2, with a building area of 37047m2 and a green area of 7633m2. At present, there are 47 classes with nearly 2200 students, which is the largest senior middle school in Songjiang District.
