01.

International Schools

International schools in China are educational institutions that offer an international curriculum and are designed for students who are not Chinese citizens. These schools often have a diverse student body and faculty from different countries, and provide an education that is recognized internationally. They cater to expatriate families, Chinese returnees, and local families who seek a global education for their children.

02.

Private Schools

Private schools in China are educational institutions that are not funded by the government, but rather by private individuals or organizations. These schools vary in terms of curriculum and level of education, ranging from kindergarten to university. Private schools in China have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they offer more flexibility in terms of curriculum, teaching methods, and admissions criteria than public schools.

Public Schools

Public schools in China are educational institutions that are funded and managed by the government. They provide education from primary school to high school, and some also offer tertiary education. Public schools in China follow the national curriculum and teaching standards set by the government, and are often seen as a more affordable option for families.

Where would you like to teach?

In China, cities are classified into different tiers based on various factors such as population, economic development, infrastructure, and cultural significance. The tier system is commonly used to categorize cities and to guide policy-making, investment decisions, and market strategies.

  1. Tier 1 Cities: These are the largest and most developed cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. These cities have a high level of economic development, world-class infrastructure, and a significant cultural and political influence. They are also the most expensive cities in China in terms of housing, transportation, and cost of living.

  2. Tier 2 Cities: These are the second-largest and moderately developed cities, including cities such as Chengdu, Hangzhou, Tianjin, and Wuhan. These cities have a relatively high level of economic development, and are important regional centers for manufacturing, trade, and finance.

  3. Tier 3 Cities: These are smaller and less developed cities, including cities such as Fuzhou, Hefei, Xiamen, and Nanning. These cities are still developing, but are rapidly growing in terms of population and economic activity. They are often considered emerging markets and are attracting increasing attention from investors and businesses.

  4. Tier 4 Cities: These are the smallest and least developed cities, including cities such as Dali, Tongren, and Suqian. These cities are mostly rural and have limited infrastructure and economic activity. However, they are also seen as potential growth markets due to their large population and untapped potential.

It's important to note that the tier system is not a fixed or official classification, and there are variations in how cities are categorized depending on the specific criteria used. Moreover, some cities may be classified differently depending on the sector or industry being considered.
