Blackboard in the Fragrant Harbour: 50 Years of the French International School
[Tableau noir dans le port des parfums: 50 ans d'histoire du LFI de Hong Kong]

Around thirty children in 1964, over 2,500 students in 2014. The history of the French International School of Hong Kong is one of a constantly developing institution, adapting to the growth of the French community, to the environment and to local needs as well as to the many educational evolutions over these past fifty years. The French School, a pioneer in many domains, has developed along with the territory. It is divided, like Hong Kong, into 'one country, two systems', within it there is both a classic French school and an International stream. From testimonies to anecdotes, this work relates the many changes that have left their mark on the school but, above all, it also focuses on the everyday life of a community.
