The French International School – Chai Wan Campus offers both French and International Stream programmes designed for Early Years and Lower Primary students.
In the French Stream, children follow the French national curriculum (Programme de l’Éducation Nationale Française), with a focus on language development, early numeracy, and discovery-based learning. Classes are conducted mainly in French, with opportunities for bilingual learning through the Immersive Bilingual programme, where English and French are co-taught.
In the International Stream, the school follows the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) in Nursery and Reception, and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) in Year 1. These programmes are taught in English, introducing structured literacy and numeracy through thematic, inquiry-based learning.
Across both streams, students explore creative arts, music, movement, and sports as part of a well-rounded early education that builds foundational academic and social skills.
FIS’s Chai Wan Campus serves Early Years and selected Primary classes in both French and International Streams. The campus page lists around 230 students, 10 classes, and 30 teachers, with facilities that include a sports field, multipurpose room, library, and canteen. In the International Stream, children follow the IEYC in Nursery/Reception and the IPC in Primary, with classes taught in English and French added as a foreign language. The French Stream follows the French national curriculum, and at kindergarten level the school offers an Immersive Bilingual pathway co-taught in French and English. Extracurricular options for younger learners include arts, drama, choir, chess, coding, Mandarin, and gardening, among others.
