Testimonials from Guardians

Yoona's Mother

Yoona's Mother

Designer

"As a Korean parent, I was initially anxious about sending my eight-year-old daughter, Yoona, from Seoul to the Shanghai International School alone. However, our concerns quickly faded thanks to the excellent Alifa Guardianship Team. Each week, we received heartwarming videos of Yoona confidently sharing stories in Chinese and showcasing her homemade wontons. The team's attentive care, including accommodating her food allergy, made us incredibly grateful. It reassured us that she was thriving, not just surviving!"

"I am incredibly grateful for the support my son, Thanawat, received from Alifa's Guardianship Team. When he broke his arm during swim training, they acted swiftly and ensured he was at the nearest school clinic within 10 minutes. I appreciated receiving a photo of his cast decorated with doodles of his favorite cartoon characters and a lighthearted message that brightened his spirits. As a busy parent, I often worry about not being there for him, so I am thankful for the care and comfort that Alifa's team provided. Thank you for your exceptional support!"

"We are incredibly grateful for the Alifa Guardianship Program. During his first Ramadan in China, our 14-year-old son, Ali, balanced his faith and studies with the program's support. Watching him share dates with his classmates on Eid was pure joy.Initially, we feared he'd have to choose between his studies and his faith, but he has blossomed into a cultural ambassador, bridging diverse traditions. This program has filled us with pride beyond any school diploma. I highly recommend the Alifa Guardianship Program to any family wanting to support their child during crucial moments—it's truly transformative."

HR Director

"As a parent of twins in separate international schools in Shanghai, I often felt disconnected from their lives. Thanks to Alifa Guardianship programs, I now receive updates that bridge that gap. On their birthday, I got detailed reports about my son's orthodontic progress and my daughter's six soccer assists, along with fun details about their lunch swaps. These insights let me celebrate their achievements and feel closer to them, no matter the distance. Alifa has truly transformed my parenting experience, and I'm incredibly grateful for this service!"

"I am pleased to express my gratitude for the outstanding collaboration between ACG School Jakarta and HD Qingdao School, facilitated by Alifa Education Service. Our students gained invaluable insights into marine culture and advanced robot programming during their visit to China, particularly at Haier's Industrial 4.0 Laboratory, which was a transformative experience. The Alifa team provided exceptional support, creating customized Chinese learning plans and introducing an innovative 'online + offline' hybrid STEM project. This engaged our students in virtual reality collaborations focused on ecological protection. The meticulous attention to detail in logistics and cultural adaptation greatly enhanced our experience. This partnership is a significant milestone in our student's development and is essential to our school's internationalization strategy. Thank you, Alifa Education Service, for your unwavering support!"
