1. Is it a problem someone did not know any French to start Form 1?
Most of the Form 1 students are directly from FIS primary, so they already have knowledge in French. But French class in Form 1-3 is divided into groups according to level. Of course it is the best if your child already speak French before s/he enters FIS but for Form 1, it is not compulsory.
2. Do you think the level of English teaching is good?
Well of course! :) Although it is a French school, the English level in international section is just the same as other IS. Many people think we speak French at school but that is only the case for students in French section. In international section, we communicate and learn in English so the level of English teaching is just the same as other IS. In addition, sometimes you would find students who speak with a Chinese accent at other IS, but you wouldn't see this problem at FIS.
3. How do you feel about the qualification of the teachers?
I don't really know much about my teachers' education background, but as a student, I judge by telling who can teach and who can't. I am sure that in every school, there are teachers who can teach and there are those who can't. I can tell you that there indeed are teachers who are quite horrible at FIS (and this teacher I'm talking about particularly teaches one of the most important subjects at FIS) but they are the minority. Most of the teachers are really good :)
4. Do you feel your school mates are friendly?
Of course I do, or I wouldn't have fitted in the circle. (and it's just hard not to fit in!)
5. Is there any bullying at the school?
Bullying is not an issue at FIS. Actually, since FIS is a small "boutique school", as our principal calls it, students are really close to each other and every grade is like a family. Comparing to those larger sized schools, which have around 100-200 students per grade, it feels really warm to be at FIS since classes are really small and so we get to know each other very well. There basically isn't any secret between us cause' even if there is, everyone will know  I have heard that in some other schools, some students who get excellent grades at school would be bullied since the others are jealous. But really, just don't worry. Everyone studying at FIS is good at academics basically so there's no such kind of bullying due to academic results.
6. Is there a lot of homework?
Yes, there is. The workload at FIS is quite heavy, especially in senior secondary. After all, it is a school that produces students with excellent grades. It's hard to escape from this homework bit.
7. If you had a choice will you choose this school to study?
In terms of academics, yes. In terms of social activities, not really.
Studying at FIS can really get me into a top university, which is like the "ultimate goal" of a student. FIS offers subjects that I love. And I am satisfied with all the aspects of the school, but quite honestly, FIS doesn't have that much connections with the "outer world". All the people from other IS are really curious about FIS because they think we're a "secret community". I have lots of friends from other IS and somehow school life at a big school seems intriguing to me. People have lots of fun with schoolmates in the same school, from different grades, and they also have lots of fun with people from other IS. You will see that there are only a few students from FIS who are really involved in the "wider social life". So if I had a choice, I might choose a bigger school. But still, I love FIS :)
8. For the interview, will the school want to interview the parents as well?
I am not too sure cause' I've never done a secondary interview at FIS! But what I guess is yes, because the school wants to know about the kid from your perspective. And when you talk about the course selection, it is always important that the parents are there. |
