So how can our city’s Moms and Dads possibly settle on the best option?

The task may seem daunting, but have no fear. beijingkids’ and JingKids’ annual Beijing International School Expo (BISE) will make that decision easy and fun, providing parents a comfortable environment to meet with headmasters and teachers of various campuses, attend lectures and speaking events by experts, and more while their little ones take part in the event’s kid activities and games.

The expo will be held at the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel in Shuangjing on Jan. 16 and 17 from 10am-4pm. Representatives of more than 50 international schools from all over Beijing, at the preschool, primary and secondary levels, will be in attendance and eager to answer all your questions.
