京领2026中国国际学校城市指数

KingLead 2026 China International Schools City Index

2026年5月12日，京领世界首创并正式发布京领2026中国国际学校城市指数。这是京领连续第九年发布中国国际学校系列榜单后，在原有的个体学校评估体系基础上，首次推出的城市指数创新成果。

该指数基于京领多年积累的大数据与京领国际学校品牌、创新、竞争力三大榜单学校评级成果，将数十个城市的优质国际学校资源进行系统梳理与量化呈现，旨在推动国际学校、国际化产业与国际化人才生态建设形成良性循环与高质量发展，为行业和社会提供全新的观察视角。

Background

研究背景

在全球层面的技术革命下，创新人才已成为衡量国家综合竞争力的核心指标。国际学校是创新人才培养的重要基地，更是连接中国与世界的重要教育载体。在此背景下，中国国际学校行业正在经历从规模扩张到内涵提升的深刻转型，人才培养体系正在不断优化和创新。

城市集聚创新要素、前沿产业与国际人才，其国际教育发展水平可视为城市综合竞争力的一个体现。当前行业内评估多聚焦于学校个体，尚缺乏从宏观层面的系统的观察。随着人工智能演进与全球创新人才竞争加剧，建立一套长期、动态、可参照的城市指数观测体系，有助于推动国际学校、国际化产业与国际化人才生态建设形成良性循环与高质量发展。

Data Sources

数据来源

京领2026中国国际学校城市指数的数据来源于京领2026中国国际学校品牌、创新、竞争力三大榜单中所有获得评级为AAAAA、AAAA、AAA的学校及其所在城市归属信息。

京领榜单数据基于动态更新的全球国际学校大数据库和京领研究院国际化教育领域专家的实地调研。

Evaluation Methods

评估方式

京领2026中国国际学校城市指数模型依据上榜学校在京领2026品牌榜、创新榜、竞争力榜三大榜单中的最高评级按梯度赋分，通过城市总分加总及基准折算，量化各城市优质国际学校资源的相对水平。所有上榜城市均至少拥有一所AAA及以上评级的优质国际学校。

京领中国国际学校城市指数模型构建如下：

学校赋分：每所国际学校以其在京领三大榜单所获的最高评级为准赋分（5A=30分、4A=10分、3A=5分）。同一学校若在多个榜单上榜，仅取最高评级计分一次，不重复计算。
城市原始总分：将同一城市内所有上榜学校的赋分求和。
指数折算：以所有城市中原始总分的最高值为基准，设定为100分，其余城市的指数按以下公式折算：“城市指数 = (该城市原始总分 / 最高城市原始总分) × 100”，最终城市指数结果落在0–100区间。

KingLead 2026 China International Schools

City Index

On May 12, 2026, KingLead pioneered and officially released theKingLead 2026 China International Schools City Index. This is the first innovative city-index achievement launched by KingLead on the basis of its existing individual school evaluation system, following nine consecutive years of releasing the China International School Rankings Series.

The index is built on KingLead's years of accumulated big data and the rating results of schools listed in its three major rankings — Brand Value, Innovative Competitiveness, and Competitiveness. It systematically organizes and quantitatively presents high-quality international school resources across dozens of cities, aiming to foster a virtuous cycle and high-quality development among international schools, internationalized industries, and the international talent ecosystem, and to provide a brand-new perspective for the industry and society.

Background

Amid the technological revolution at the global level, innovative talent has become a core indicator of a nation's comprehensive competitiveness. International schools serve as both important bases for cultivating innovative talent and vital educational carriers connecting China with the world. Against this backdrop, China's international school industry is undergoing a profound transformation from scale expansion to quality enhancement, with the talent cultivation system being continuously optimized and innovated.

Cities concentrate innovation factors, cutting-edge industries, and international talent, making their international education development level a reflection of their comprehensive competitiveness. Current industry evaluations mostly focus on individual schools, with a lack of systematic observation from a macro perspective. As artificial intelligence evolves and global competition for innovative talent intensifies, establishing a long-term, dynamic, and referable city index observation system will help foster a virtuous cycle and high-quality development among international schools, internationalized industries, and the international talent ecosystem.

Research Objects

Cities in Mainland of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) with at least one international school listed on any of the following three KingLead rankings:

· KingLead China International School Brand Value Top 100 · 2026

· KingLead China International School Innovative Competitiveness Ranking · 2026

· KingLead China International School Competitiveness Ranking Top 100 · 2026

Data Sources

The data for the KingLead 2026 China International Schools City Index comes from all schools rated AAAAA, AAAA, or AAA on KingLead's three major 2026 rankings — Brand Value, Innovative Competitiveness, and Competitiveness — along with their corresponding city affiliation information.

KingLead's ranking data is based on its dynamically updated global database of international schools and field research conducted by international education experts from KingLead Research.

Evaluation Methods

TheKingLead 2026 China International Schools City Indexmodelassigns scores on a gradient basis according to the highest rating each listed school achieves across KingLead's three major 2026 rankings — Brand Value, Innovative Competitiveness, and Competitiveness. The relative level of high-quality international school resources in each city is quantified by summing the city's total score and applying a benchmark conversion. All listed cities have at least one high-quality international school rated AAA or above.

The KingLead China International Schools City Index model is constructed as follows:

1.Single School Scoring Standard:Each international school is assigned a score based on its highest rating across the three major KingLead rankings (AAAAA = 30 points, AAAA = 10 points, AAA = 5 points). If a school is listed on more than one ranking, only the highest rating is counted once, with no double counting.

2.City Initial Total Score:The scores of all listed schools within the same city are summed.

3.Index Conversion:The highest initial total score among all cities is taken as the benchmark and set to 100 points. The index scores of the remaining cities are calculated using the following formula: City Index = (City Initial Total Score / Highest City Initial Total Score) × 100. The final city index results fall within the range of 0–100.
