The Phoenix School for Girls (Chinese: 飞风研修中心) was a non-profit secondary school for girls in rural Poshi Village (破石村) in Gutang. 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.[1]
