Southern China new hotspot for British schools

And I thought they were buying out British Schools but that isn't the case...

It seems Asia is going to be the hot spot for American & British schools starting up shop.

I wonder if Australia or some other countries are on a "hot list" to start up schools as well.

10000 miles away from home? That is odd to send kids to school that far away.

10000 miles away from home? That is odd to send kids to school that far away.

The reference to not wanting to send kids 10,000 miles from home was weirdly phrased in the article. But it means "British families that live in China don't want to send their kids to boarding school in Britain where they will be far away from their families and at higher rush of COVID exposure," not "Families that live in Britain used to be willing to send their kids to a British school in China, but are now reluctant to do so in the age of COVID."

(I was one of those kids going to American  and British international school in non-English-speaking countries. All of the kids were living in the country with their families. But some of the kids would occasionally be withdrawn and be sent back to a boarding school in Britain or the US while their parents remained in country, or come to the international school from a boarding school situation.)

It is rather common for there to be American styled High Schools in many foreign countries with large expat communities. Not surprising the British expat community is doing this.
