Soochow Academy, officially the Suzhou High School of Jiangsu Province (simplified Chinese: 江苏省苏州中学; traditional Chinese: 江蘇省蘇州中學; pinyin: Jiāngsū shěng Sūzhōu zhōngxué), is a Chinese public high school of one-millennium rich history, located in Suzhou, Jiangsu. In AD 1035, the Northern Song politician and writer Fan Zhongyan founded the predecessor of Soochow Academy, Suzhou Prefecture School (苏州府学).
During the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Boxing (张伯行) established the Ziyang College (紫阳书院) inside the Suzhou Prefecture School. It was one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation, and several emperors of Qing Dynasty praised its achievements. In the 1900s, the imperial examination was abandoned, and consequently Duan Fang (端方), the governor of Jiangsu, transformed the school into a modern school. He also invited sinology masters Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu to join the faculty of the school. In addition, during the Republic of China period, Zhang Taiyan and Qian Mu taught sinology here. It is widely regarded as one of the four most famous high school in Jiangnan.
