French International School (Blue Pool Road Campus)

Founded in 1963, the French International School is one of the first international schools established in Hong Kong and was the first school in Hong Kong to offer the IB programme in 1988. It offers two parallel Streams, the French Stream and International Stream, leading to internationally recognised diplomas. Currently, it welcomes over 2,500 students, representing 40 different nationalities, in four campuses. In 2014 in the International Stream, 23.5% of FIS Upper 6 students received 40 points or above in their IB results, with two of them awarded 44 points. In IGCSE, 80.5% of Form 5 students achieved grade “A” across all subjects. In the French Stream, 39.4% of students of the final year were awarded “Très Bien” (excellence), much higher than the 19.7% - average of French Schools overseas.
