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 Submission
Parents begin by completing the online application form for either the French or International Stream. Supporting documents such as a copy of the child’s passport, Hong Kong visa, recent school reports, and a passport-sized photo must be uploaded. A non-refundable application fee of HKD 2,200 is required at this stage.
2. Assessment and Review
Once received, applications are reviewed by the Admissions Team. Children may be invited for an assessment or interview, depending on the stream and year group. This process evaluates academic readiness and language proficiency where relevant.
3. Offer of Admission
Successful applicants receive an offer via email. To confirm the place, families must pay a non-refundable deposit of HKD 25,000 and hold either a Corporate Debenture (HKD 250,000) or Private Debenture (HKD 120,000), refundable at nominal value minus an administrative fee.
4. Enrolment and Orientation
Once payment is complete, parents receive enrolment details, uniform and transport information, and invitations to orientation sessions organised by the school and the FIS Community Association (FISCA) for new families.
The school operates a waiting-pool system for both streams when no immediate places are available. Students who meet the admissions criteria are placed in the pool, and offers are made as spaces open. Priority is given to applicants with siblings enrolled at the school, corporate debenture nominees, and French nationals in the French Stream. The school does not disclose rankings within the waiting pool.
The Tseung Kwan O Campus does not offer scholarships as it caters to Early Years, Primary, and Lower Secondary students. Scholarships are available only at the Blue Pool Road Campus for senior secondary students in the International Stream through the IB Academic Excellence Scholarship, which covers partial or full tuition for the two-year IB Diploma Programme.
The Tseung Kwan O campus serves Early Years, Primary and Lower Secondary and is home to about 990 students. International Stream pupils follow the IEYC in Early Years and IPC in Primary, taught in English; the French Stream offers the French national curriculum from PS to 3ème. The campus features a wide ECA menu spanning sports, STEM (coding, robotics, STEM clubs), and performing arts (orchestra, choir, drama). Families can see where each year group is based using the school’s Find my campus guidance.
