We are happy to welcome students from another school system.
However an entrance assessment will be required, whether you apply for French or International stream, in order to assess your child’s achievements and advise on the appropriate year group she/he could join in.
We aim to ensure a successful transition for your child and your family and make sure our school is the right one for your child.

Unfortunately, we can not answer this question in advance.
However, in general, we find that our Jardine’s Lookout campus is the most requested due to his location on HK island, convenient to many of our families based there and/or working there.
Our Tseung Kwan O campus is where there is usually most of the places available as this campus has stricter restriction concerning HK passport holders, yet this campus is also becoming in great demand as it allows families to have all the siblings schooled on the same site (French Stream kindergarten, primary and lower secondary or International Stream kindergarten and primary).

Being French is certainly a great asset to enroll at FIS but it does not guarantee a place.
For our French stream, applicants holding a French or Swiss passport will have a priority on the waiting list over other nationalities.
For the International stream, passport is not a criteria considered in our priority system.
For both streams, please note that we must comply with the Education bureau instructions in term of maximum class sizes.

A place at FIS is not guaranteed, and this applies for both streams.
Many factors are impacting how many applicants we can welcome each year (such as departures of our current students, closure or opening of classes) which we cannot forecast or control ahead of the first day of school.
This is also the reason why we may invite you for an assessment with the only guarantee to be on a reserve list while waiting for current students to withdraw.

You will first need to apply online under the Admissions section of our website.
There are no application periods, you can apply all year round and as soon as you have a birth certificate for your child.
The online application takes about 10 minutes per applicant and requires documents such as ID, School reports and Application fee receipt.
If you have any questions, our Admissions teams are at your disposal to help you.

When applying for FIS, you apply for a specific year group and school year but not for a specific campus.
A year prior to the school year you applied for, our Admissions team will contact you to know if you have any campus preference. Even if not guaranteed, we will try our best to accommodate this preference.

At the beginning of the school year, if you have not been invited for an assessment or been offered a place, we will contact you and define with you whether you wish to remain on the waiting list for the school year you applied for (hoping for a vacancy for Term 2 or 3) or defer for the next school year.
In that case, no re-application fee is required.

Your child ‘s priority status may change, for example, by having a mature corporate debenture allocated or as a result of a sibling gaining entry within the International Stream.
In such cases, your child will be placed onto the waiting list in his/her newly-acquired ranking, according to the date your child’s priority status change occurred.
