In response to Re Clifford School in Guangzhou, China (Roundtrip)

Clifford and the great Clifford Pang...First of all, let me answer your question since I personally lived at Clifford Estates in Area A which is the newer section of the ex-pat area where Clifford is based at. The area itself is wonderful and the school looks great. I did not work there and usually they only hire Canadians. However I do know many students from Clifford personally because I was employed in GZ in business and the business I worked at had many foreign families and several of their kids went to Clifford only because Clifford is cheaper than AIG which is the American International School at GZ. The international side of the house only has about...50 students or so. The rest of the school is on the Chinese program which as you know, anywhere in China is a failed exercise. I believe that their total student population is about 2000 I have been told that the Canadian principal is an idiot by most of the students. I have been told about some assaults on students by their security guards that require them to show ID when exiting campus but not when entering. I have been told that many of their teachers do very little for the students. I have also been told that a few teachers there are "OK". I can tell you that many students there attend after school cram courses because they believe they are not getting an education there. I can tell you that many of the students there are Korean and their parents usually work in textiles or jewelery businesses. As far as I know there is very little difference pound for pound between the bilingual and the international side. You should also know that there is more than one school there owned by Clifford. They also have a school for smaller kids on the other side of the property. I call tell you that everything is expensive as hell at Clifford. I can tell you that the free buses there are useful but that if you want to do any running around at Clifford you need a bike or a scooter because it is a very large area. Oliver's, a foreign store there is excellent! They have anything you could imagine. But you will pay through the nose for it too. I can tell you that hospital at Clifford looks great inside and that it is nearly the same as a western hospital but that it is super expensive and once you are inside, except for Dr. Christian, an American, no one there has a clue. Go work for AIG instead.
