Beijing 101 Middle School was founded in 1946, just after the victory over Japan in the Second World War. The school was founded on the war-torn Zhangjiakou, a town in the nearby Hebei Province.

After two years of moving, the school entered Beijing City and built its first permanent campus in Xiyuan, Haidian District. This moving is known as "the Long March of 101".
