  • 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.

  • Finance How much is the assesment fee and what does it cover?

    Our assessment fees are the following:
    ● For pupils applying to International stream: HK$1,000 per student
    ● For pupils applying to French stream and selected by FIS to join bilingual parity basis system or SIA in Primary: HK$500 per student
    The assessment fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, whether the assessment is successful or unsuccessful and must be settled prior to the assessment day. It covers the admissions assessment and all related administrative tasks.

    This fee is only valid for one academic year. If an applicant does not gain admission, and thus reapplies for the next academic year, the testing fee must be paid again. Settlement of the assessment fee shall be made via bill payment, bank transfer, online credit card payment or cheque prior to the assessment. FIS reserves the right not to accept an applicant on the day of the assessment if the fee is not settled.
