The French International School promotes social and emotional development through its Student Services and Health Services teams, which support all campuses, including Jardine’s Lookout. These teams work closely with teachers to help students develop interpersonal, communication, and self-management skills in the classroom and during co-curricular activities. Schoolwide initiatives include lessons and workshops on health, citizenship, sleep, nutrition, and bullying prevention. SEL is embedded in daily routines, helping students practise cooperation and empathy from an early age.
The school provides limited support for students with mild or moderate learning differences within its mainstream setting. SEN provision is coordinated by the Student Services team, which may recommend classroom accommodations or collaboration with external specialists such as psychologists, occupational therapists, or speech therapists. The school is not a specialist SEN institution, and admission depends on the school’s ability to meet a child’s learning needs.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision or specific support for non-native English speakers in the International Stream.
Students can access the school’s Health Services team, which includes trained health assistants and counsellors who provide emotional and practical support. A student counsellor is available for confidential appointments to assist with personal or academic concerns. Staff collaborate to monitor students’ well-being and promote a balanced approach to physical and emotional health through age-appropriate activities and health education.
Safeguarding responsibilities are integrated into the work of the Student Services and Health Services teams. Each campus has designated staff who monitor attendance, health, and student welfare. The school maintains clear communication channels for parents and staff and follows defined procedures for addressing concerns related to safety or child protection.
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.
