It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The French International School supports students’ social and emotional development through its Student Services and Health Services teams, which work across all campuses, including Chai Wan. These teams focus on health, citizenship, and well-being education, incorporating activities around sleep, nutrition, organisation, and bullying awareness. Teachers and educational assistants collaborate to help children develop self-regulation, cooperation, and empathy within the classroom environment. The approach is integrated into everyday routines and learning themes rather than being taught as a standalone programme.
The school provides limited support for students with special educational needs in a mainstream setting. Support is coordinated through the Student Services team, which may involve individual assessments and collaboration with external specialists such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, or psychologists when necessary. The school is not a specialist SEN institution, and enrolment depends on the school’s capacity to provide appropriate support at the time of application.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding specific English as an Additional Language (EAL) support or dedicated EAL programmes for its International Stream students.
Students have access to the school’s Health Services team, which includes health assistants and counsellors providing daily care and emotional support. Confidential appointments can be made with a student counsellor to address personal or academic concerns. The team also works with teachers to monitor student well-being and promote positive habits around physical health and emotional balance.
Safeguarding and child protection are embedded in the school’s Student Services and Health Services framework. Each campus, including Chai Wan, has designated staff responsible for attendance, health matters, and student welfare. The school maintains structured procedures for communication between parents and staff and promotes a caring, secure environment where concerns can be reported and addressed appropriately.
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.
