International Schools Experience Boom as More Students Vie to Enter Foreign Universities

(Beijing) – A decade earlier, less than 4 percent of graduates from a popular high school in Beijing, known for high quality teachers who groomed students for elite universities, left to study abroad each year.

The majority chose to pursue their higher studies at home, with the brightest among them heading to top-ranking institutions like Peking University and Tsinghua University, said Shi Guopeng, heads of the Beijing No. 4 High School's international program.
