French International School "Victor Segalen" of Hong Kong (FIS, Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a French international school in Hong Kong. It is the only accredited French school in Hong Kong (linked by an agreement with the Agency for French Teaching Abroad (AEFE). 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, closing the Hung Hom Campus.

FIS offers two Streams, the French and the International streams. 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" (OIB) offers advanced level studies in English. The International stream is based on the British curriculum and leads to IGCSE (University of Cambridge International Examinations) in Form 5 and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Form 6. FIS was the first international school in Hong Kong to offer an International Baccalaureate program in 1988.Шаблон:Citation needed

History

Шаблон:Expand section FIS was established in 1963, as French engineers and technicians arrived in Hong Kong to build the Shek Pik dam.[1] It became the first international school in Hong Kong and initially had 30 students.[1] The original campus was a portion of a flat in Pok Fu Lam.[2]

In 1973, FIS was the first international school to offer Mandarin classes to students.[1]

Construction began on the Jardine's Lookout campus in 1982. The Hong Kong government donated the land to have the school built.[3] In 1984, FIS established the Jardine's Lookout campus and opened the international stream.[1] Classes began in September of that year.[4]

Prior to 1988, the English medium stream only went up to the fifth form, with the General Certificate of Secondary Education being the end qualification.[5] In 1988, FIS became the first international school in Hong Kong to be awarded the World IB status.[1] The IB curriculum became available to the English medium stream and lengthened the course of study available to sixth form-equivalent students.[5]

In 1994 the school was renamed after Victor Segalen.[6]

In 1997 the school began building another campus. The Government of Hong Kong loaned $80 million, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated $20 million, and the Government of France gave a grant for $15 million. The Hong Kong government loan did not collect interest.[7] In March 1999,[8] the newly constructed Blue Pool Road Secondary School campus was opened.[1] It had a cost of $130 million.[8]

In 2011, the Chai Wan campus was opened and was later recognised with a Green Building Award.[1]

In 2018, the Tseung Kwan O eco-campus was opened. [1]
