We are the largest operator of private high schools in Western China and the third largest operator in all of China in terms of student enrollment as of December 31, 2019, according to the CIC report. We experienced the fastest growth rate with a CAGR of 77.3% in terms of high school student enrollment and with a CAGR of 41.4% in terms of the number of high schools from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019, among top 20 operators of private high schools in China, according to the CIC report. We believe we are well-positioned to seize the enormous and sustainable demand for high-quality high schools in China. The total revenues generated by the private high school education industry in China is expected to increase from RMB51.0 billion in 2019 to RMB160.0 billion in 2024, and the penetration rate of private high schools in China in terms of student enrollment is expected to increase from 14.9% in 2019 to 22.0% in 2024, according to the CIC report. All of our schools are strategically located in Western China, which has seen growing demand for high-quality educational resources. We trace our history back to August 2012 when we established our first school to provide after-school tutoring services. We have since developed a network of 19 schools, offering 14 high school programs, seven middle school programs and four tutorial school programs for Gaokao repeaters, as of September 30, 2020.
