Jingkids International School Expo (JISE)
As parents, we share a common goal: providing our children with the best possible start in life. A crucial step in achieving this is selecting the right school tailored to our children’s unique needs and aspirations. It’s easy to fall into the assumption that all international schools are alike. The reality is far more nuanced, with each institution offering distinctive curricula and strengths that significantly impact a child’s education and future career paths.
Each year, the annual Jingkids International School Expo (JISE) stands out as a beacon for parents seeking comprehensive insights into their child’s educational journey. JISE isn’t just a gathering of major international schools in one convenient location; it’s a transformative experience that elevates the school selection process.
This year’s topic is focused on an issue that we’re all dealing with: AI. As AI reaches more areas of our daily lives, we often find ourselves asking, “What are the things that cannot be replaced by AI in the future?”
As the traditional style of memorization and repetition becomes obsolete in the AI age, we’re challenging schools to share their plan for how to help students learn, think, ask questions, create, and navigate their lives in this new age.
Join us for this year’s JISE on Sat, Feb 22, from 9am to 5pm at China World Summit Wing Beijing. This is a must-attend event both for parents who are choosing a new school for their child and for those who are invested in where the new age of education will take their children.
Where: China World Summit Wing Beijing, 1 Jianguomenwai Dajie, Chaoyang District
When: Feb 22, 9am-5pm
