Why Do So Many Chinese Students Favor U.S Boarding Schools?

Globalization has had an extensive outcome on modern world, and the influence has not ended at international boarding schools. According to Project Atlas, there are 886,052 number of international students enrolled in schools across the United States and 274,439 of them were Chinese students. The American education system has long been the substance of international status.

For the past ten years, it’s very surprising to know that there were less than 63,000 students from China and around 77,000 students from India who are studying in America. In a period of ten years, Indian students have gone up by less than 30,000, whereas the Chinese students have increased fourfold. China didn’t take long to outdistance India as a leading country, and South Korea maintains their strong position in the third place.

According to Douglas Lyons, executive Director of the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools, “There’s more wealth in Asia now. There is also a belief among Asian families that the choices available to them at home don’t compete with what we have here. Many believe that if you really want your child to be successful you want him or her to go to an American college.”
