École Française Internationale de Shenzhen, Shenzhen

A small parent-founded school in Shekou, opened 2018 with around 18 pupils and growing to roughly 40 across multi-level classes from kindergarten to collège. Run as a non-profit association linked to AEFE.
Founded explicitly as a cheaper alternative to the Shekou International School French section, with French families on the Bonjour Chine forum noting EFIS is roughly half the cost of SIS at primary level.
Intake is mostly Franco-Chinese and Francophone, with a small minority from Russian, Canadian and Israeli families. Mandarin sits in extra-curriculars rather than the core day, with four hours of English per week alongside the French national programme.
No independent parent reviews surface online beyond the founding announcements. Online discussion of Shenzhen French options leans negative on QSI's CNED-only French stream and on SIS's high capital fee, which is part of why EFIS exists.
Anglophone forums and Reddit do not return signal for this school. The day-to-day picture sits inside the Shekou parent network rather than any public corpus.
