Dazed and confused by International Schools? AmCham International Schools Expo can help!

Every parent wants their child to take the best pathway to fulfilment, but predicting their future challenges and opportunities is becoming ever more difficult. 
 
Hong Kong’s education landscape is complex, crowded and extremely competitive, piling on pressure for stressed out parents. So many options, but how to make the right choice? With stiff competition for places at top schools, taking a wrong step can be devastating. If that’s a dilemma you’re all too familiar with, help is at hand: AmCham is organizing the first International Schools Expo on May 5 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
This one-stop-shop event offers parents a 360 degree view on all aspects of education and future career paths from leading school principals, educators and potential employers. With disruption by technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Expo will also spotlight the interplay between the world of work and the educational sphere.
 
Putting the latest global trends into the local education setting, the event also places a key focus on psychological development and issues related to special-needs students.
