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.
Uniforms are compulsory for Primary; students wear a uniform every day and are instructed by teachers whether to wear school or sports uniform. Secondary students wear their sports uniform only on PE days or for school outings.
Each campus has a nut-free canteen. Meals are prepared by Compass; a wholesome, balanced meal is provided daily for Primary and Secondary, with a single main course for Primary and a choice of two options for Secondary. Students may bring their own packed lunches if they do not wish to eat school meals.
FIS uses a house system where students are assigned to houses on enrollment and remain in the same house; siblings join the same house. Houses compete in sports and other activities and are used to develop cross-stream collaboration across campuses.
FIS is owned and managed by a non-profit association, The French International School Victor Segalen Association Limited, which holds charity status and employs local staff. The school has a convention with the AEFE (Agency for French Education Abroad) linking it to the French national education system, enabling conformity with national curricula and access to national examinations.
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.
