Lyc'ee Francais International French International School (Chai Wan Campus)

The Chai Wan Campus of the French International School is located at 1 Cheung Man Road, Chai Wan, on the eastern side of Hong Kong Island. The campus sits near the Chai Wan MTR Station and is accessible by several public bus routes. It is in a mainly residential area that offers convenient transport links to Quarry Bay, Taikoo Shing, and other key family neighbourhoods. The campus includes open play areas, a sports field, and a canteen.

Chai Wan Campus serves Early Years and lower Primary students from both the French Stream (Petite Section to Grande Section) and the International Stream (Nursery to Year 1). The campus will expand to include Year 2 from 2026/27. Classes focus on early literacy, numeracy, and bilingual learning through play and thematic activities.

The school is co-educational and operates as a day school.

The school provides support for students who may need additional help through its Student Services and Health Services teams, which operate across all campuses. Support includes counselling, well-being programmes, and coordination with external professionals when needed.

The school has affiliation with France via the French national curriculum stream and is linked with the French education system.

The school does not have a religious affiliation.

The Chai Wan Campus day begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:15 pm. Lunch and snack breaks are built into the daily timetable, and the school canteen provides meals via an independent provider, Compass Group. Buses depart approximately 10–15 minutes after classes finish.

A dedicated school bus service operates to and from Chai Wan Campus. Services are provided by independent bus companies, and parents enrol directly with the operator. Routes cover major residential areas on Hong Kong Island.
