Secretary International Primary Stream

Established
in 1963, the French International School (FIS) is the oldest international
school in Hong Kong and was the first school in Hong Kong to offer the IB (in
1988). It is a dynamic educational institution, which welcomes over 2,700
students from around the world. It offers both French and international
curricula and is one of the largest French schools in Asia.

FIS
currently operates four campuses, and next year all of which will accommodate
students in the International Stream. Regarding the three primary schools, one is surrounded by greenery in
Jardine’s Lookout and another campus is by the sea in Tseung Kwan O and the
third is a beautiful campus in Chai Wan. The fourth is the secondary
campus at Blue Pool Road situated at the heart of Hong Kong Island.

FIS is
a private, not-for-profit organisation. In the last five decades, it has grown
from a small school with 35 students to one of the most renowned international
schools in the region. Its students are from 40 countries speaking some 30
languages – it is a truly multicultural learning environment.

FIS
operates two streams, French and International. The French Stream follows the
French national curriculum and has approximately 2500 students. The Primary
International Stream follows an English and Mathematics curriculum based on the
English national curriculum and also the International
Early Years Curriculum (IEYC)  and International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
In 2020/21 the International stream
primary  successfully went through the
IEYC/IPC Accreditation process.

In the
Secondary section this  leads to the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) in years 7 to 9, the International
General Certificate for Secondary Education (IGCSE) for years 10 & 11,
and finally the International
Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP) in Years 12 and 13. As a whole, the
International Stream currently has over 1100 students registered..
