Choosing a school for the children in a foreign country is no easy decision for expat families. If you have school-age children and happen to live in the capital, one event you should not miss this weekend is the 2015 Beijing International School Expo.

Held by Beijing-based beijingkids (English) and JingKids (Chinese) magazines, the annual international schools fair will gather the cream of the crop of international schooling options in Beijing all under one roof.

You will have the chance to ask questions of admission teams and learn what each school can offer.

At the same time, there will be plenty of play options to keep the children occupied. There are free play areas manned by different organizations to offer kids of all ages reading, face painting, painting and more art-based activities.

Here are the schools and education centers that will be in attendance at the school expo at the Kerry Hotel on Jan 24-25 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
