Le Lycée Français International (LFI) de Hong Kong a été fondé en 1963. Il offre deux filières distinctes de la Petite Section / Nursery à la Terminale / Y13. La Filière Française, homologuée par l’AEFE, prépare les élèves à l’obtention du Baccalauréat français. La Filière Internationale suit le International Primary Curriculum (IPC) et le English National Curriculum qui incluent les diplômes de l’IGCSE et l’IB Diploma Programme. En 1988, le LFI est devenu la première école internationale autorisée à délivrer le programme IB à Hong Kong. 

Aujourd’hui le LFI est une des plus grandes écoles internationales de Hong Kong et accueille plus de 2,800 élèves, 60% en filière française et 40% en filière internationale, rassemblant plus de 40 nationalités différentes.

La mission du Lycée est de favoriser, avec les familles, le rayonnement d’une communauté culturellement diversifiée qui sera source d’inspiration pour nos jeunes ; c’est au sein de cette communauté qu’ils atteindront leur plein potentiel et deviendront des élèves indépendants et volontaires, ainsi que des citoyens responsables, ouverts sur le monde et respectueux des valeurs humanistes.

About the French International School

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 2,800 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, 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

FIS is a private, not-for-profit organization. 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 1700 students. The 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) leading to the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) in years 7 and 8, then to IGCSE and finally the International Baccalaureate in Years 12 and 13.
