The 2017 Beijing International School Expo will be held at the Crowne Plaza Beijing Chaoyang U-Town on Saturday and Sunday (Feb 18-19).
More than 60 international schools have confirmed they'll participate, including the British Schools of Beijing, Keystone Academy and the Canadian International School of Beijing.
The annual event is the capital's largest gathering of international schools to help families with international education options in Beijing.
Organized by the city's international education-focused media platforms beijingkids (English) and JingKids (Chinese), the event was initiated in 2000.
This year's BISE will feature an on-site competition where 12 talented children will get cash for school as well as have their work published in beijingkids and JingKids magazines.
The Starter's Scholarships (1,000-5,000 yuan/$145-$727) will be awarded on the basis of a drawing competition (for younger children) and an essay-writing competition (for older students).
There also will be children's areas on-site to keep the little ones entertained and busy.
Admission to the expo is free. Click here for more information and registration.
