(from ICEF Monitor) More and more international students enroll in U.S. secondary schools each year. But the number of schools hosting international schools has grown at a faster rate, pointing to tighter competition among some schools long accustomed to their choice of full-pay students from abroad. These and other findings, in a report from the Institute of International Education, found that 2,800 U.S. schools enrolled international students in 2016, up from 2,300 in 2013. Over the same period, the annual growth of students studying on F-1 visas, indicating long-term studies, has declined, from 8 percent growth between fall 2013 and fall 2014, to 3 percent growth in fall 2015, to only 1 percent growth in fall 2016.
Nearly 80 percent of all diploma-seeking students in the U.S. come from Asia. Europe accounts for most (nearly 70 percent) high school students on exchange programs. China alone accounts for nearly 60 percent of international enrollment overall.
