We give you all the essentials in Beijing, from events to news to community connections.

Jingkids International School Expo (JISE) 2019

Preparations for the Jingkids International School Expo (JISE) 2019 Beijing are in full swing. With only 57 days left until the event kicks off, our registration link is officially active! (Scan or long-press the QR code at the end of the article to sign up.)

JISE 2019 Beijing is an education-focused conference hosted by True Run, geared towards the readers of beijingkids and Jingkids, and based on our understanding of your needs and our detailed knowledge of the educational sector. The event will help you find answers to your questions and concerns about your child’s learning and development, explain the choices available to you, and give you the information you need to make the right choices for your child, with a view to their long-term future and not just their immediate learning provision. All this and more will be brought together at the Kerry Hotel, Kerry Sports Center, and Kerry Mall in Beijing on February 23-24, focused on the theme of “Education Beyond School Choice.”

Here’s everything going on throughout the JISE 2019 weekend, and check out the video welcome above from the principals from a handful of the attending schools:

JISE 2019 Beijing · K-12 School Fair (5-18y)

JISE 2019 Beijing · Early Years Education Fair (0-6y)

JISE2019 Beijing · Educators Forum (4 sessions)

JISE 2019 Beijing · Parenting Forum (4 sessions)

JISE 2019 Beijing · Jing Youth Entrepreneurship Competition (12-18y)

Without further ado, here are the top five reasons why families shouldn’t miss out on all of the fun and excitement at JISE 2019:

 1 

Directly obtain a better understanding of the curricula and learning environments of Beijing's top schools from their principals, teachers, and admissions teams.

Jingkids International School Expo is the largest annual educational event for Beijing’s international community. It is known not only for the quantity and quality of the exhibitors, but also the huge numbers of parents attending. For the 2019 event, we have secured all of the available conference and exhibition spaces that make up the Kerry Hotel, Kerry Sports, and Kerry Mall in Beijing. The school exhibition will be divided into two areas, one focusing on primary and secondary schools, and the other focusing on early education, making this year’s event more targeted and convenient, so that you can discover efficiently the schools which are most suitable to the needs of you and your child, and benefit from essential face-to-face communication with participating faculty and staff from these academic institutions.

Get insights into the challenges and rewards of implementing innovative education techniques from principals of some of Beijing's top schools. 

JISE 2019 will feature a unique education forum to disseminate cutting-edge educational concepts and practices. At this year's forum, principals from the most prestigious international schools and education experts from Beijing will gather for the first time to explain the latest educational research and ideas, explain how these can be turned into real-life learning experiences, and answer questions from parents.

At present, three headliners are confirmed for our first Innovative Education Forum. They are:

- Mr. Simon Herbert, Headmaster of Dulwich College Beijing

- Mr. Patrick Hurworth, Head of School at the International School of Beijing 

- Dr. Marta Medved Krajnovic, Director of Western Academy of Beijing

Meet parents sharing their experiences and challenges on the path toward self-growth and being a positive role model for your child.

Along with our exploration of contemporary educational issues, we are also passionately engaged in exploring new thinking about parenting, and our need for intellectual and psychological growth as carers. Dr. Sun Daqiang, a well-known lecturer at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will be at the Expo to explain to parents the importance of being both happy and healthy, mentally and physically.

Watch student entrepreneurs from Beijing international schools compete for cash, prizes, and glory!

Student teams from Beijing’s best international schools will match wits in a day-long event where they will learn to craft an entrepreneurial business pitch from scratch. Participation is free and no experience is necessary – you just need to be a middle or high school student currently enrolled at a Beijing school, and form a team of five. The competition is held in English, so fluency in the language is a must.

Best of all, there’s RMB 38,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs – so you’ll not only learn and grow, you can walk away with tangible rewards for your efforts.

Administered by professionals, and coached and judged by real-life Beijing-based entrepreneurs, the contest is one part of the Jing International School Expo taking place at the Kerry Hotel on Feb 23-24, 2019.

Come for the Expo, but stay for all of the fun and entertainment at Kerry!

We’re thrilled that we’ve secured Kerry Hotel, Kerry Sports, and Kerry Mall for this year’s expo. The Kerry Center is conveniently located in CBD, and along with being an ideal place to hold our comprehensive event exploring the world-renowned educational opportunities that exist in Beijing, it is also a venue which offers a host of playing, dining, and shopping options. While parents meet with schools or attend our forums, there will be plenty of top-notch entertainment opportunities throughout the weekend for visitors young and old to enjoy.
