French American International School

Mission

Guided by the principles of academic rigor and diversity, French American and International 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.

Our international community brings together people from many backgrounds. Together we strive to create a shared culture that develops compassionate, confident, and principled people who will make the world better. We base our community on these values:

• RESPECT – We celebrate the dignity, shared humanity and potential in everyone. We listen attentively, speak thoughtfully, and act with courtesy and kindness. We take care of ourselves, our community, and our environment.
• INTEGRITY – We speak and act with honesty. We take responsibility for our actions and we meet our commitments.
• INCLUSION – We celebrate the diversity that defines our school, our community, and the world. We seek to understand one another and to appreciate differing perspectives. We act with empathy and compassion.
• COLLABORATION – We prize the benefits of working and learning together. We succeed through shared effort and by seeking excellence in ourselves and one another.
• CURIOSITY – We are inquisitive about the world and our place in it, about ourselves, and about one another. We ask questions, take risks, and delight in discovery.

At French American International School, our youngest minds are immersed in two languages from day one. Teachers pay close attention to the linguistic and socio-emotional development of each student, warmly encouraging critical thinking, active exchange, and cooperation.

As students progress through the school, they learn to communicate in at least three languages, study mathematics in two languages, participate in a rich array of arts, athletics, and travel programs, engage in local and global service learning projects, and further develop strong critical thinking skills within a challenging, engaging curriculum. There is no better way to see what we do than to come to an Open House, schedule a tour of campus, or attend one of our community events. Our doors are open, and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
