According to media reports, there are currently 334 international schools/public high schools in the country. By evaluating the number of offers from foreign famous schools, the quality of students, the level of teaching improvement, the score of competitions, and the indicators of community activities, The top 10 domestic and international schools in 2020 are Beijing Normal University Experimental High School, Beijing No. 4 High School, South China Normal University Affiliated High School, Shanghai International Studies University Affiliated Foreign Language School, Beijing Middle School, Nanjing Foreign Language School, East China Normal University Affiliated High School, Fudan University Affiliated High School, China Changshu World Union College, and Shanghai Middle School.
Judging from the application results of 2020, the United States is still the first country for Chinese students to study abroad, with the most offers, accounting for 44.08% of the total offers in the country. The UK accounted for 28.19% of admissions, Canada accounted for 17.98%, and Australia accounted for 7.93%. Other countries accounted for 1.81%.
It is worth noting that because students studying abroad this year applied to universities before the outbreak of the epidemic, the epidemic did not have a large impact on them. The impact of the epidemic and the economic and trade relationship between China and the United States will be reflected in the applications through 2021.
Which international schools are favored by overseas elite schools
According to statistics, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University and other six universities application competition is very fierce, only Beijing No. 4 High School, Beijing Normal University affiliated experimental high School and other 23 schools graduates, got a total of 48 offers.
The largest number of schools for the experimental High School affiliated to Beijing Normal University and Beijing No. 4 High School, each with 6, South China Normal University Affiliated High School, Nanjing Foreign Language School, Shanghai International Studies School Affiliated High School with 4, these 5 schools got half of the total. Another 195 schools received 2,454 offers from the top 30 universities in the United States.
The 67 schools on the list have received 229 offers from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, of which 30 are from Shenzhen International Exchange College alone, accounting for 13% of the national total.
According to the application of the top 30 comprehensive universities in the United States in 2020, although the school has a wider coverage of the phenomenon, in the application of top universities in the United Kingdom and the United States, the domestic well-known international schools/international departments still have considerable competitive advantages.
"The world's top universities represented by 'Ivy School' and 'Oxsword' have relatively stable total admissions in China each year." "Ivy School" in China each year to issue about 200 offers, "Ox Sword" is maintained between 200-300. There will be more or less changes from year to year, but there will be no structural adjustment."

International schools are directly related to the flow of talents
According to statistics, the number of international schools in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Beijing ranks among the top four in the country, with 159, 131, 104 and 99, respectively. In terms of the final application results and educational standards of schools, these four regions also rank in the forefront of the country.
Qing Dayad Institute of Education Science and Technology believes that the best international schools in China are concentrated in the super first-tier, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta regional cities, which has a decisive role in enhancing urban competitiveness. Relatively high-level talents attach great importance to their children's education, and if there are high-level international schools in the local area, it will be of great help to attract them to work and start businesses. This is also the source of many cities trying to introduce well-known international schools.
According to statistics, Shanghai has 104 international departments of international schools, the largest number of cities in the country. The development of private international schools in Shanghai is related to the introduction of international courses rather than international programs in Shanghai's international education policy. According to reports, the international Department of Shanghai's famous public schools generally adopts the introduction of international courses as the model of the school's characteristic courses, and charges for the general high standard, resulting in a small enrollment, generally more than 20 people. In addition, due to the generally high quality of private junior high schools in Shanghai, more students in Shanghai who want to study abroad flow to private schools.
Beijing is considered to have the highest quality international schools in the country, but it is the opposite of Shanghai. The number of international departments of Beijing's public schools is large and the enrollment is large, according to reports, such as the three well-known public schools, such as the Sino-Foreign Cooperation School Project (ICC), the international Department of the Experimental High School affiliated to Beijing Normal University, and the International Department of Beijing Eleven School, the graduates of studying abroad reach 200-300 people every year.
Around 2010, after the establishment of international departments in Beijing's public schools, the enrollment of private elite schools in Beijing was greatly affected. However, due to Beijing's strict household registration policy, many outstanding non-Beijing students can only choose private international schools, so private international schools in Beijing still have a large advantage compared with other regions.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which have similar economic size and structure, have obvious differences in international schools. In Jiangsu, the number of international schools in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and other places is relatively developed, and the number and quality of schools are among the top in the country.
In the face of the "restart" study abroad market, Hong Changchun, dean of Qing Daya Yade Educational Technology Research Institute, pointed out that with the fully opened study abroad market, families who arrange study abroad planning in advance will open a new direction in life.
