What sets us apart. 

Our Mission: “Guided by the principles of academic rigor and diversity, the French American

International School offers programs of study in French and English to prepare its graduates for a world in which the ability to think critically and to communicate across cultures is of paramount importance.”

 There are enormous cognitive and developmental advantages to a bilingual education.  Our French immersion program takes full advantage of the one-time window of opportunity for language acquisition enjoyed by very young children.

 Our purpose built Early Learning Center features two classes for three year old children.  We provide a challenging yet nurturing learning environment. Your child will be thoroughly engaged – intellectually and creatively.

 The French American community is diverse. We believe that everybody learns more if, on a daily basis, they are relating to others not like themselves.

 The international aspect of French American ensures that students make wider connections.  We are renowned for the quality of our Pre-K through 12 academic program culminating in an International Baccalaureate Diploma or French Bac.

 Our families recognize the value of more

than one language and more than one way of looking at the world.
