Nanjing Zhonghua High School had been a school for women and changed its name for several times. It was officially named as Nanjing Zhonghua High School in 1983. Throughout history, Nanjing Zhonghua High School has been an outstanding high school in Nanjing which is the capital of Jiangsu province and was the capital city of the Republic of China.

Hexi campus
The campus on 369 Zhonghua Road, Nanjing is now the campus for Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School. The high school section moved to 208 Xinglong Avenue in Hexi. Hexi campus is much larger than the old one and provides better facilities with 11 buildings including 60 classrooms and dorms that can host about 2,000 students. It is also close to Olympic Stadium Station of Subway line 1and Lüboyuan station of Subway Line 10. Hexi campus opened at fall 2011, though it lacked the tradition and culture of Zhonghua High School in the points of view of some students and parents.
