After the founding of the Republic, many of the monasteries in Tài County 泰縣 banded together to open a school for their younger monks. Zhìguāng 智光 was the school's first principal. Courses included Chinese language, history, geography, math, English, and Buddhist studies. The school averaged over fifty students.

The school closed after three terms owing to a lack of funds.
