I would like my child to join the French Stream but in a class with more English learning (bilingual parity basis (BPH) / SIA), what should I do?

You apply for a specific year group and school year but unfortunately not for an option as it results of a selective process initiated by FIS
– First, students must already have been educated one full year at FIS in classic class or bilingual immersive (BIM). Yearly, a commission takes place to decide which students are recommended to attend BPH/SIA for the following school year.
– Then, students from a BPH (bilingual parity basis) class in the AEFE network will be placed directly on the waiting list, after students already schooled at FIS.
– Exceptionally, if there still are places available in class BPH / SIA after the waiting list has been exhausted, the commission may review student records enrolled for less than a school year.
In any case, please inform us if you have such an interest upon application and we will take it in consideration.
