Seems there is not much discussion about this school.
Anyone know the Chinese level of FIS? I know it's not high (if not low...), but how is it comparing with other IS like ESF? How many hours of Chinese class in a week?
Also, since there is a new TKO campus coming in 2018, would it be easier to be admitted into the school?
Many thanks~

u can treat the chinese as interest class, very very simple like greeting, colours and only one session a week.

Kellet is surely better than ESF.
Kellet targets to provide the education to British Expat's kids in HK
ESF is a side product during colonial hong kong. You can treat it as ordinary school for Bristish Government Officers child in HK.

I think you need to consider IB vs A level, more British style or more french style ( perhaps more freestyle)? Learning french might be advantage too. Ethnic mix? Kellet mostly expats, FIS might be more local after moving to TKO?

Probably TKO campus will have more local but I think Jardines can still maintain a good student mix as many expats are living on island side.

I know, what I mean freestyle is not about academic. Btw I think a lot of British curriculum schools are quite academic, yet there is no conflicts being academic and happy learning.

At my time they never reply anything too on enquiry too. Then suddenly on one day I received a email asking us to do the interview 3 days later (Saturday). Then after that we received a email stating we passed assessment and were on waiting list ( Feb). And in April we got another email that we got the offer. French style.

Just usual stuffs like attending the kindergarten, the kid will spend two hours unaccompanied and have different activities like drawing, circle time, puzzles etc. Just keep the child in good mood and tell them it’s a playgroup.

Thanks for your reply. It’s true that some kids studying in Singapore International have Singish. My colleague’s kid studied there and finally changed to another IS due to this reason. I talked to the staffs from FIS admission office and found that the staffs there have strong French accent. So I worry the kids follow this kind of accent too.

I went to the FIS Christmas Fair last year. Some of the students (probably lower secondary from their appearance) who were selling stuff at the booths had heavy French accent and weren't particularly fluent in English. But they are possibly from the French stream.

For Jardine lookout campus, mostly foreigners / mix , some Chinese. Not sure will it be changed after moving to TKO. But even for NAIS and kellet in Kowloon east can still maintain a high proportion of foreigners, so I think probably not a big problem.
