While most seniors in high schools are nervously awaiting the results for the national college entrance exams they wrote on June 7, Gao Ge, a graduate of Shanghai Datong High School, can relax. He has already received offers from many universities, including Carnegie Mellon and Tufts.
Gao is one of the first graduates of the Vermont International Academy program in the school, which offers American-style high-school education to Chinese students.
Gao will also be one of the last graduates of the program.
Beijing and Guangzhou have announced that they will no longer approve international programs like Gao’s in public high schools. Shanghai has reportedly made the same decision.
