南京师范大学附属中学是一所发展中的百年老校，是江苏省重点中学、江苏省模范学校、首批国家级示范高中，其前身可以溯源至清末两江总督张之洞1902年创办的三江师范学堂的附属中学堂。在一个世纪的办学过程中，学校十易校名，六迁校址，以慎聘良师、锐意实验、校风诚朴、善育英才而著称。著名教授王瀣、柳诒徵、邹秉文、钱崇澍、杨铨、张子高、严济慈、舒新城、沈灌群、常任侠、唐圭章、沙孟海、杨建侯等都曾担任附中课程，他们的成就和业绩为后人留下了弥足珍贵的精神财富，形成了附中教师不做教书匠而要做教育家的优良传统。学校现有教师150人，其中高级教师80人；国务院政府津贴获得者1人；江苏省、南京市名师4人；江苏省有突出贡献的中青年专家1人；江苏省特级教师9人；南京市学科带头人10人；南京市优秀青年教师30人。80年代以来，附中先后有多名教师参与国家教委颁布的初中语文教学大纲、高中课程改革计划与人教版教材教参的研究和编写工作。
锐意改革是该校最重要的特色之一。1922年，附中率先采用三三制新学制并编定新学制课程大纲，实验道尔顿制，推动了全国中学的学制和课程改革；抗战期间，艾伟主持开办中学六年一贯制学习心理实验班；50年代，进行高中文理农分科教学实验和四二制试点班教学改革；60年代，在江苏省教育厅的主持下，进行了旨在推动学生生动活泼主动发展的教育改革；80年代，在国家教委的指导和香港华夏教育基金会的资助下进行了高中课程结构改革；90年代，附中实行高中阶段必修课分层次教学实验，被列为国家"八五"科学规划重点项目的子课题；进入21世纪，学校正在构建"塑造创造性人格"的育人模式，推动高层次、高质量的素质教育，使学生的素质得到全面均衡又富有个性的发展。
为了把附中办成国内、国际一流的学校，学校一直非常重视通过多种渠道，加强与世界各国的友好合作。附中先后与日本樱丘高校、韩国檀大附中、澳大利亚考菲尔德学校等学校结成友好学校；教师有84人次先后通过定期或不定期的国际交流项目，到日本、澳大利亚、加拿大、英国、美国、韩国、法国等国进修考察；聘请外籍教师来校任教，80年代以来先后来校任教的就有37人；每年来附中参观访问的各国友人有十多批。
十年树木，百年树人[注: 树：种植，栽培。比喻培养人才是长期而艰巨的事。]。人文荟萃、名家云集、锐意改革的氛围使得附中教育根深叶茂[注: 茂：繁茂。根扎得深，叶子就茂盛。比喻基础牢固，就会兴旺发展。]，人才辈出[注: 辈出：一批一批地出现。形容有才能的人不断涌现。]。校友中既有顾作霖（瑞金时期中共中央政治局委员）、杨超（中共中央特派员）等革命先烈，也有严济慈、汪道涵、彭珮云、巴金、李国鼎等享誉世界的学者、科学家和政治家；不仅有人数位于全国普通高中前列的35名两院院士（如获得国家首届科技进步奖的"杂交水稻之父"袁隆平、中国第一位电子学女博士韦钰等），也有著名歌唱家朱逢博、优秀足球评论员黄健翔、将被外国医生宣判脑死亡的台湾著名主持人刘海若从死神手中夺回的著名医生凌峰，当然更多的是数以万计默默无闻[注: 无声无息，没人知道。指没有什么名声。]在各自岗位上为人类、为祖国作贡献的校友。历年来，附中学生不仅以高的升学率引人注目[注: 注目：注视。吸引人们注意。]，更是以高层次、高质量的素质赢得社会的赞誉。
