At the beginning of the fall semester of 2023, in order to enrich the after-school life of students, SHBS offers a variety of elective courses for students. On the afternoon of September 8th, students gathered in the auditorium to listen to the teachers' elective courses. A total of 55 courses were presented on that day.

To accommodate students with specialized needs in course selection, the school also collaborates with external educators to offer CRCC Super Artificial Intelligence activities, Thinking Contests, Academic Explorations, and other relevant courses. These initiatives aim to maximize the holistic development of students. SHBS consistently upholds its commitment to interest-based education and encouragement, which is evident not only in the diverse range of elective courses but also in every facet of the school. SHBS firmly believes that what is most suitable and intriguing is ultimately the best approach.
