Abstract
Asian youth in the US had the highest self-reports of poorer cognitive and emotional health during the COVID-19 pandemic. With Chinese international high school students comprising one of the top three sending countries in the US, understanding the offerings and utilization of school support during the pandemic is less known. This qualitative study addresses Chinese international high school student perspectives of the identified in- and out-of-school supports, along with in depth interviews to understand how these supports are being leveraged. Results indicate a range of identified offerings in- and out-of-schools–with social networks being the largest source of connectivity. Re-examination of current structures, in-school support, and communication with international students and families are needed. Recommendations include private schools leveraging cultural assets to provide greater connections between students and schools.
