Why Should Parents Attend JISE? We Have 5 Great Reasons!

We’ve been saying for weeks how the Jingkids International School Expo (JISE) 2020 is something you can’t miss this coming October 24-25 at Beijing Renaissance Capital Hotel. If the extracurriculars or the chance to cheer on your nominated educator aren’t enough, what about these incredible reasons why you should join the schools and experts at JISE this year?



1: It’s the Most Efficient Way To Choose the Best Fit for Your Family From Over 70 Schools

Important decisions like school choice can’t be rushed. Or rather, they shouldn’t be, especially when a quality education can cost as much as an entire Nova Scotia island. But who has time to research all your options in the School Choice Guide, then call or email for an appointment, never mind tour all of your possibilities? By attending JISE for free and meeting with school staff face to face, you’re giving yourself and your kids the best chances possible to sniff out a new potential school, maybe even one that was never on your radar!


2: It’s an Easy Way To Share Info/Feedback With and From Other Parents

With over 70 schools in attendance at this year’s JISE, though, how can one parent possibly see everything? That’s why it’s so great that JISE is free for parents to attend; you can come with a friend, divide, and conquer your list of prospects! Figure out what your family’s top priorities for the right school fit are, and share notes over a wonderful coffee or happy hour at the end of your JISE day!

3: At JISE, You Can Ask Your Tough Questions in Person

If we learned anything from e-learning, it’s that nothing beats the special connection you can make in the flesh. Even on a tour of a school, your mind is often taking in so many different stimuli that important questions might be lost. But the ability to go from table to table, checklist in hand, asking each educator the same questions and delving deeper as needed – that is an experience you can only find at JISE.


4: You Can Get the Spirit, or Vibe, of the Schools

We already wrote about how important the vibe of a school can be, but it bears repeating. Do you want them to feel like the world is their oyster or like they’ve arrived at a second home? Is an international or more Chinese vibe what you’re after? Do you want to stay on top of your child’s progress or only hear if there is a problem? Remember that what works for you may be different than your friend’s vibes, so trust your instincts and ask the questions you want to ask.


5: Listen To Education Forums and Learn More About the Trends of International Education

We’ll publish more information on our expert panels this week, but where else can you hear directly from leading educators in their fields, from Early Childhood Education (ECE) all the way through to high schools? Here you’ll have a chance to hear straight from teachers themselves what is on the uppermost of their minds, and where they see concerns as well as breaking developments in international schools as a whole.

Come for all these reasons and more at this year’s JISE. Attendance is free for all prospective parents, family members, and students. It’s the perfect opportunity to really get to know schools on a one-on-one basis before making decisions on your child’s education.
