中国国际学校特色榜·2025

China International School Characteristics Rankings 2025

Background

研究背景

据京领研究院统计，近20年来，中国国际学校数量从不到百所增长到现在的1200余所，国际学校已经进入品牌时代。随着青少年发展目标的日益多元以及对于个性化体验的期望，简单地以“国际化”、“英语”、“外教”为特色，已不足以满足广大家庭的国际化教育需求。具备清晰的品牌定位与突出特色已成为国际学校未来的发展趋势。

Research Objects

研究对象

中国境内（除港澳台地区）应用国际高中课程，且学生以留学海外高等院校为目的的公办学校国际部、民办国际化学校或外籍人员子女学校。

出于公平角度考虑，京领研究院以单体学校独立校区为研究案例。对于只体现集团层面数据、无法区分所在校区数据的学校，则不予上榜。

Evaluation Methods

评选方式

本次榜单由京领研究院专家共同评审并制作发布。京领2025中国国际学校特色榜评选过程中除采用数据进行量化分析以及实地调研等方式外，同时面向以上类型的国际学校进行公开参选征集。每个榜单着重突出一项主题，分别评选出相应的特色学校。入选学校排名不分先后，均为某一特色上榜学校。

China International School

Characteristics Rankings2025

Background

According to statistics data from KingLead Research, after decades of development, international schools in China have grown from less than 100 to more than 1,200 now. With the increasingly diverse goals of young people and higher expectations for personalized experience, simply featuring "Internationalization", "English" and "Foreign Faculty" is no longer enough to meet the international education demands of families. Having a clear brand positioning and outstanding features has become the future development trend of international schools.

Research Objects

International departments of public schools, private international schools, and schools for children of foreign personnel in China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) that apply international high school curricular and whose students aim to study in overseas higher education institutions.

From a fairness perspective, KingLead Research adopts individual school campuses as the research cases. Schools that only provide group-level data and cannot distinguish campus-specific data are excluded from the rankings.

Evaluation Methods

This ranking is co-reviewed by experts from KingLead Research, produced and released by KingLead Research. Besides quantitative analysis of data and field research, KingLead China International School Characteristics Rankings 2025 is also open to the above types of international schools for registration. Each ranking focuses on a theme and selects corresponding characteristic schools. The selected schools are ranked in no particular order and are all on the list with a certain characteristic.
