The 2025 School Leadership Recruitment Trip was a resounding success! From February 27 to March 9, Cambridge Network led a delegation of U.S. high school principals and admissions officers to China, helping schools connect with prospective students and boost their international enrollment.
A Firsthand Look at the Trip
Admissions representatives from top private day and boarding schools across New York, Boston, Chicago, Texas, and Ohio traveled to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Xi’an for in-person recruitment events. These events provided schools with the opportunity to:
Meet families face-to-face – Schools introduced their academic programs, student life, and admissions process directly to interested parents and students.
Engage in one-on-one interviews – Many students took the opportunity to interview with admissions officers on-site, with some even receiving conditional offers based on their strong performance.
Showcase the American classroom experience – Mini demo lessons allowed students to experience American-style education firsthand, helping them envision life at a U.S. high school.
Build relationships with local partners – Schools strengthened connections with educational agencies, student advisors, and key recruitment partners in China.
