Do you organise school tours/open days?
We provide school tours twice a month to our Jardine’s Lookout, Tseung Kwan O and Blue Pool Road campuses.
You can book your visit on our page “Campus visit” where you will see all available dates left.
As places book fast, we recommend you to visit often as there may be some last-minute space due to late cancellations.

Finance
Can I redeem my debenture?
Both types of debentures are FULLY redeemable, either when the student leaves the school and all outstanding bills in respect of the student have been paid in full, or when he is now covered by the alternative debenture.

Finance
What is a debenture and what is the difference between private and corporate?
The French International School (FIS) is owned and managed by a non-profit organisation (The French International School Victor Segalen Association Limited [the “Association”]) which is a Hong Kong Limited Company with charity status.
By purchasing a debenture, the debenture holder agrees to become a member of the “Association” and be subject to its Articles of Association.
Admission to FIS is conditional on the purchase of a debenture.
A corporate debenture is purchased by one of the parent’s employer (company registered at the Hong Kong Company Registry) and should it be a “mature” corporate debenture (held by a company for at least one year) provides priority on the International Stream waiting list. A private debenture is purchased by the parents themselves. -
Admission
My child does not hold a HK visa yet, will he/she be able to start school?
Your child does not need to hold an HK visa throughout the Admission process.
Then, in accordance with the Education Bureau and Immigration Department’s regulations, only students in possession of a valid immigration status or visa can be enrolled in Hong Kong schools. Failing this, the French International School of Hong Kong will not be able to accept your child to enter the school’s premises.
