hailey, a child who studied in an international school in north america, couldn't help but feel the reality of "colored glasses" when she saw the reaction of children caused by black teachers when visiting an international school. she has witnessed the intensification of competition for admissions in international schools, as well as the decrease in the number of foreign teachers and the decline in teaching quality. there are many reasons behind this.

the new regulations of the ministry of education have put forward higher requirements for the recruitment of foreign teachers, which has forced many schools to reduce or suspend the courses offered by foreign teachers. due to the combination of factors such as consumption downgrade, declining birth rate and withdrawal of foreign investment, international schools have become a hot potato from the sweet potato in the past.

competition for international school admissions in beijing is fierce, and the collapse of nord anglia fangshan has highlighted the importance of location selection. the international school in shunyi villa district is under increased enrollment pressure and has to increase marketing expenses and enrollment efforts. "climbing the vine" has become the choice of middle-class families. they try to bypass the international route and choose to study a-level or ap courses directly, or choose to study a-level courses part-time, which is a departure from their original choice.

the campus experience in high school has also become a point worthy of attention. some students are not achieving as well as expected in public schools and even feel a lack of social interaction and opportunities for personal growth. the free atmosphere and colorful club activities of international schools bring different experiences and growth opportunities to students.

these changes have given parents a new direction of thinking, and they have begun to re-examine the value of international schools. today, international schools are facing new challenges. how to adapt to market demand and how to maintain students' learning interests and social skill development?
