Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Application Preparation
Parents first determine whether their child will apply to the French Stream or International Stream, and to which year level. Required documents include the child’s passport or birth certificate, Hong Kong visa, and recent school reports (for applicants from Year 2 and above). The non-refundable application fee of HK $2,200 must be paid at this stage.
2. Online Application Submission
Applications are completed and submitted online through the FIS admissions portal, where supporting documents are uploaded. Once submitted, parents receive confirmation of receipt and processing status.
3. Assessment and Interview
Most applicants are invited for an assessment or interview appropriate to their age group and language stream. The evaluation considers academic readiness, previous school reports, and in some cases, language ability.
4. Offer of Admission
When a place is available and the application successful, an offer letter is issued. To secure the place, parents must pay a non-refundable advance payment of HK $25,000 and acquire a debenture (either corporate or private).
5. Enrolment and Orientation
Following confirmation, parents receive joining details, including guidance on uniforms, school transport, medical forms, and orientation sessions for new families.
The school uses a waiting-pool system rather than guaranteeing immediate placement. When an assessment is successful but no place is available, applicants are placed in the waiting pool and contacted once a vacancy opens.
FIS offers a limited number of scholarships and grants:
IB Academic Excellence Scholarship: Covers the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for outstanding students entering Year 12. Selection is based on academic merit, school reports, and a personal statement.

Thierry Dubois Family Debentures: Provide limited financial relief and priority admission for selected students through corporate sponsorship.
The Blue Pool Road campus of the French International School (FIS) in Hong Kong serves Years 7–13 (8-13 from 2026) and accommodates both the French-medium and English-medium streams in one campus setting. Students in the French stream follow the French national curriculum leading to the Baccalauréat; those in the International stream progress via IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme. Located on Blue Pool Road in Happy Valley, the campus features around 40 classes and approximately 100 teaching staff, and is supported by a school-bus network. Instruction is in French or English depending on stream, and students study additional languages such as Mandarin, Spanish, German and Latin. Co-educational and day-school only, the campus emphasises a multilingual community of learners from many nationalities. Facilities include a gymnasium, art rooms, library, canteen and multipurpose spaces. Signature programmes include bilingual education and an emphasis on sustainability and service through initiatives such as the Green Club.
