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 (CP–CM2) or the International Stream (Years 2–6). Required documents include the child’s birth certificate or passport, valid Hong Kong visa, recent school reports, and a passport-style photo. The non-refundable application fee of HK $ 2,200 must be paid upon submission.
2. Online Application Submission
Applications are completed via the school’s online admissions portal, where all supporting documents are uploaded. An assessment fee of HK $ 1,000 applies for both streams, payable after submission. Families receive confirmation of receipt once the application is processed.
3. Assessment and Interview
Applicants may be invited to complete an assessment or interview appropriate to their year group. The evaluation considers academic readiness, prior schooling, and—where relevant—language ability. Reports from previous schools may be reviewed as part of this process.
4. Offer of Admission
Successful applicants receive a formal offer. To secure a place, families must pay a non-refundable advance payment of HK $ 25,000 and hold a valid debenture—either Corporate (HK $ 250,000) or Private (HK $ 120,000), refundable at nominal value less a HK $ 5,000 administrative fee.
5. Enrolment and Orientation
Once enrolment is confirmed, parents receive joining details including uniform information, transport arrangements, and the start-of-year calendar. New families are invited to attend orientation sessions and community events hosted by the FIS Community Association (FISCA).
The school operates a waiting-pool system for both the French and International Streams. When an application is successful but no immediate place is available, the student is placed in a pool. When a vacancy arises, offers are made according to priority criteria—such as sibling enrolment, debenture status, and language stream.
The Jardine’s Lookout Campus serves only primary and middle school students, and no scholarships are offered at this level. Scholarships at the French International School are reserved for senior secondary students at the Blue Pool Road Campus—most notably the IB Academic Excellence Scholarship, which covers the two-year IB Diploma Programme for selected students entering Year 12.
The Jardine’s Lookout Campus of the French International School serves Primary-aged students in both the French and International Streams. Located at 34 Price Road in a peaceful residential area on Hong Kong Island, the campus provides dedicated facilities including a gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, auditorium, and library. Students in the French Stream (CP – CM2) follow the official French national curriculum, while those in the International Stream (Years 2 – 6) study through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) taught in English. The campus will expand in 2026/27 to include CE1–CM2 and Years 3–7, offering continuity for primary education. Language learning is central, with French and Mandarin taught across both streams. With around 740 students and 100 staff, Jardine’s Lookout provides a diverse, bilingual environment supported by the school’s active community and strong links to its sister campuses in Chai Wan, Tseung Kwan O, and Blue Pool Road.
