(5 March 2019, Shanghai) Hurun Education, the education platform of Hurun Report Inc., today released the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China 2018, a ranking of the Top 100 international schools in China. This is the second year of the ranking.

New this year, Hurun Education released the International Schools in China with the Best Extracurricular Programs 2018 Top 10 and the International Schools in Hong Kong and Macao 2018 Top 10.

The Hurun Education Top International Schools in China is based on a peer to peer review. Between July and December 2018, Hurun Education surveyed 330 experts from international education in China, up three-fold from last year. Hurun Education asked them, in an unprompted question, to recommend up to five schools from each of ‘Greater Shanghai’ (Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang), ‘Greater Beijing’ (Beijing and Tianjin), Guangdong and ‘Rest of China’ that provides – in their opinion – a good all-round education. Hurun Education received 1372 votes in total, an average of 4.2 votes from each respondent. Half were school principals and senior teachers with the other half investors, overseas study agents, training institutions and government education departments. 28% were from ‘Greater Shanghai’, 30% ‘Greater Beijing’, 27% Guangdong and 15% ‘Rest of China’. 282 schools received votes, almost double last year. 19%, down from 24% last year, of respondents were non-Chinese. Schools were ranked on an index of 1 to 100, the school with the most votes receiving the maximum index of 100. The rankings refer to international schools in Mainland China only.

The Hurun Education Top 100 came from 24 cities across Mainland China.

Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun Report Group and Hurun Education Chairman and Chief Researcher, said, “This ranking is primarily targeted at parents with children in China, helping them to find the most suitable school for their child, teachers already at or looking to work at international schools in China and admission officers of universities looking to recruit students from China.”

Guo Fei, co-founder of Everest International Education, a strategic partner of the Hurun Education Top International Schools in China, said: "I hope the Hurun Education Top 100 can suggest diversified growth paths for outstanding students, flagging up traditional powerhouses such as Shanghai High School International Division, as well as perhaps lesser-known schools that have unique teaching philosophies and cultivation of talent.”
