U.S. News & World Report quotes Boteva in article about benefits of U.S. high school for international students
U.S. News & World Report quoted Orlina Boteva, director of the Office of International Programs at the University of Maine, in the article, “How U.S. High School Can Prepare International Students.” International students who attend a high school in the United States for at least a year can reap benefits including improved English skills and a familiarity with American academic culture, which prepare them for attending an American university, the article states. “We have observed that students who have spent a year or two in a U.S. high school adapt more quickly to college-level academics, create a more diverse set of friendships, seek additional academic support and join extracurricular activities,” said Boteva.
