It is always interesting when I read someone trying to cover up the posts about Clifford International School. My own kids attend AISG because they have actual teachers with experience that know what they are doing and AISG is not controlled by members of the Communist Party. When I say that AISG has actual teachers, I mean state certified teachers with valid teacher credentials issued by a state board of education. I have never been impressed with Clifford. The school it over priced for one, the administration is a local embarrassment, and the teaching staff, most of them, in the opinions of many parents and students alike, are not at all professional in most cases. As for the 30-restaurants at Clifford, in the first place most anything at Clifford costs an arm and a leg and teachers working at Clifford cannot even begin to afford most of what Clifford Estates offers in the way of shopping, restaurants, etc. Most parents in Guangzhou at Panyu if they can afford it, will send their kids to AISG or even a local Chinese school over Clifford when possible. I always find it highly suspect when someone from Clifford gets on here and tries to dismiss a post from someone like myself that actually lives at Clifford and has kids of their own while owning their own home at Clifford Estates. When you have 3 kids, live in China, read, write and speak Chinese, and own a home at Clifford while also having a degree in education, then perhaps I can value your opinion a bit more. Interestingly enough, last night we had some company over and we discussed the overall displeasure of Clifford International School among 4 families. It may not be one of the worse "international schools" in China, but it is far, far, from the best. AISG is clearly not the best either, but it is a far cry from Clifford International School and all of the problems that they have there.

Considering the fact that most international schools pay qualified teachers at least 22,000 RMB per month or more in China, Clifford International School's package is not only far below standard, it would be downright unacceptable for most any teacher with valid credentials to even consider working there.
