French International School of Hong Kong


French International School "Victor Segalen" of Hong Kong is a French international school in Hong Kong. It is the only accredited French school in HK. It has over 2,500 students in four different campuses. Since September 2014, FIS expanded its operations to a new campus in Hung Hom. In September 2018, the FIS opened its new campus in Tseung Kwan O.
FIS offers two Streams, the French and the International. The French stream follows the French National Education curriculum which leads to the "diplôme national du brevet" and the French "Baccalauréat". The "Option Internationale du Baccalauréat", which offers advanced level study in English, is also available. The International stream is based on the UK curriculum and leads to IGCSE in Form 5 and the International Baccalaureate in Form 6. FIS was the first international school in Hong Kong to offer an International Baccalaureate program in 1988.
