Visiting French International School

The campus is far away from where we live. You really can't get any transportation back down once you get up there.  But the campus is really huge and it gave me a breathe of fresh air. The admission people are really friendly. My friend's son is starting school there this fall and he is going into the French section. The best thing about this school is that if you have a French passport you are automatically in. And my son has a French passport. But I am not sure if the French section would be best for him since he never spoken a word of French in his life. My hubby started for the first two years of his life just speaking to him in French and I spoke to him in Cantonese, but when we found out that he has speech delay we just spoke plain English.

The French school has 3 different sections: French, Bilingual and International. And they have several campus and also expanding as we speak. My friend's son is going to start at a brand new campus.

Over all I say it is better than the American International School by the way side hands down. Like I have mentioned before in my previous post. American doesn't mean they cater to the Americans expats they are just a bunch of money grubbing business men running from the top. So don't really expect much to have them help you even if you have an American passport. AIS campus is so run down it is really a disgrace. And did I mention they charge you HKD 10,000 for admission fee as oppose to the FIS HKD 500.
