Phoenix School for Girls

The Phoenix School for Girls (飞风 研修 中心 fēi-fēng yán-xiū zhōng-xīn) is a non-profit secondary school for girls in rural Small Stone Village (破石村 Pò-shí-cūn), Hunan Province, China. The school was established to address the shortage of educational options for rural girls, who are often denied education due to the cost of tuition. The school is the product of collaborations between the local community and the American Friends Service Committee.

The first class graduated in June 2005.

During the summer, an alternative summer camp is held at the Phoenix School, called China Summer. The classes are taught by volunteers from the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea. Class topics range from English to astronomy to insect biology.
