A Successful Conclusion! The 2025 Asia International School Education Expo (Shanghai & Hangzhou Stops) Draws Huge Crowds, Fostering Mutual Engagement to Kick Off a New Journey in International Education

2025-09-09 10:20

As the tail end of midsummer met the fervent expectations for education, two high-profile educational events—the 2025 Asia International School Education Expo—

were held at the HSBC Building in Shanghai on August 23 and Huanglong Hotel in Hangzhou on August 24. Both events concluded successfully with strong recognition from both parents and schools!

This grand gathering, focusing on top-tier international education resources in Asia, not only demonstrated the urgent demand of families in the Yangtze River Delta for high-quality international education in Asia through the booming attendance of hundreds of people at each stop, but also built an efficient communication bridge between student families and participating institutions based on its core value of "precision matching and mutual empowerment".

Two Stops, Surging Popularity: An Immersive Connection to Asia’s Top Educational Resources

Though distinct in style—the modern business vibe of the Shanghai stop and the elegant cultural atmosphere of the Hangzhou stop—both events were equally popular. Over 100 high-net-worth families attended each event. With careful consideration for their children’s study-abroad plans, parents moved between the booths of Asia’s top international schools, including Harrow International Schools Asia, Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong, Singapore Australian International School, Stamford American International School, UWC ISAK Japan, and Raffles American School (Malaysia & Singapore). Every booth was surrounded by families seeking consultations.

“Finally, I can talk face-to-face with admissions officers about the details of courses—it’s much clearer than searching for information online!” shared a Shanghai parent planning to send their child to study in Singapore. During the on-site one-on-one consultations and thematic lectures, parents asked in-depth questions about core topics such as curriculum systems (IB/AP/A-Level/IGCSE, etc.), boarding management, and college admission trends. Admissions officers answered each question while highlighting their schools’ unique features—for example, the French-English bilingual program at Singapore Canadian International School and the leadership development program at UWC ISAK Japan. Many families even identified 2-3 key target schools on the spot, leaving with substantial gains.

For participating schools, this expo served as a "golden channel" to accurately reach target students. A school admissions representative stated, “Families in the Yangtze River Delta have a strong awareness of education planning, and the consulting parents came well-prepared. Nearly 30% of the interested families we collected match our student profile, which will greatly improve the efficiency of our follow-up work!” Institutions such as Harrow International School Aizu Japan and Harrow International School Asia Hong Kong also reported that the quality of interested families registered on-site exceeded expectations, laying a solid foundation for the next phase of enrollment.

Precision in Mutual Matching: Lingyu Education’s Core Advantage of "Efficient Connection"

Why could this expo achieve a win-win situation where “parents gain insights and schools attract students”? Behind it lies 16 years of experience accumulated by Lingyu Education in the field of younger students’ international education—from pre-event precise screening of high-net-worth families in the Yangtze River Delta, to targeted invitations to K-12 bilingual schools and top-tier IB/AP/A-Level institutions from Hong Kong (China), Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia; from on-site arrangements of “one-on-one family-school communication” and “special lectures on education systems and identity planning for Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, and Hong Kong (China)”, to post-event provision of on-site registration evaluation forms for schools. Every link was centered on “precision”.

As a Hangzhou parent put it, “Looking for international schools used to be like ‘looking for a needle in a haystack’. This expo gathers all high-quality resources in Asia, and we can also get professional planning advice—Lingyu Education’s service is extremely thoughtful.” This concept of “full-cycle support” is precisely the core reason why Lingyu Education was awarded the “2025 Forbes Outstanding Brand for Study Abroad Services”. Beyond building bridges through expos, Lingyu Education provides families with one-stop services from study-abroad planning and visa application to overseas adaptation support, helping them avoid detours on their international education journey.

Study Abroad Application Discounts Ongoing; Invitations for Next Year Launched in Advance

While the expo has concluded, the connection to high-quality international education never stops! Currently, exclusive application discounts from many participating institutions are still valid—seizing this opportunity can save significant costs for your child’s study-abroad planning!
