FIS held open days at the JL campus every year in the past.

冇記錯 FIS birthday cut-off date 應該係8月31?
咁所以 10月出世反為應該係大b? (見之前有啲reply 話10月出世係細b)

Thanks!

Officially the cut-off date is Dec 31, so you are technically allowed to apply to be small B. But they wrote on the interview invitation that "It is recommended that Reception class students be aged 4 years on or before 1 September. "

In reality, seems like they rarely take small Bs for Reception, but may be more flexible for higher grades.

Thanks for your reply.
Anyway I just found this document from their website:
https://www.fis.edu.hk/sites/default/files/uploads/Admissions/year_group_2018-2019_-v2.pdf


From here it says 31 August is the cutoff date.

Thanks for your reply.

I see. Perhaps they changed policy again...Mine is a Nov-born and I had to write and call the school several times to defer his application in order to be a big B.

Is there any priority in FIS admission?  Seems it didn’t mention in its website.

Priority is given to siblings of existing students, mature Corporate Debenture holders, students returning within 2 years, and children of FIS Alumni.

No individual debenture? I thought i have just overlooked.
