Looking for a new school for your child? We’re out to give you a hand.
Next weekend (Feb 18-19) at our Beijing International School Expo, we’ll be holding an on-site competition — and 12 talented children will get cash for school as well as have their work published in our magazines.
Our Starter’s Scholarships — awarded on the basis of a drawing competition (for younger kids) and an essay-writing competition (for older students) – are an opportunity to let your child shine.
Winning entrants will be publicly recognized, have their work published in our magazine, and walk away with cash to help offset the cost of school. It’s a scholastic achievement your kid can be proud of.
To be eligible, families only need to meet the following criteria:
- In the Fall of 2017, your child is expected to be:
— Enrolling in a Beijing kindergarten/First Grade for the first time;
— Enrolling in a Beijing middle/high school for the first time (5th, 6th or 7th grade);
— Transferring to a different Beijing school (any grade).
- Register in advance for the BISE (here’s the registration link or you can scan the QR code below)
- Come to the BISE and complete a drawing (for children entering 4th grade or below) or a short essay (5th and up) on their own, without parental assistance.
The themes for the contests will be announced on-site at the event.
Children will be free to work on their drawing/essay anytime during the two-day event in a special supervised, cordoned-off area while you explore school choices at the over 60 schools exhibiting over the two-day event.
