[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having Chinese students raises the academic profile for Prep[/quote]

Please explain how having Chinese students raises Prep's academic profile.[/quote]

The large number of Asian students that are boarding students at Prep has absolutely nothing to do with Academic Profile.

It has everything to do with the tuition and boarding revenue.

During the Summer, Prep offers an International Program for kids from around the globe and it's supposed to be an English Immersion experience.

What they discovered in running this program is that there are a large number of students in Asia who are very interested in going to high school in the US and for whom money is not a problem. They are from very rich families. There are so many of these prospective students in Korea, Japan, Indonesia, etc. that they could fill the whole school with them, if they wanted.

If Prep could fill the boarding program with students from around the US, they would do it. Instead, they make recruiting trips to these countries to fill these slots.[/quote]
