My 3 children have been attending the French American Academy for 1 year. They are very happy to go to school every day. We are thrilled with this beautiful bilingual learning experience for our children.
With the pandemic and in these difficult times, my children have been lucky enough to be in a full class setting throughout the year.
The program they offer is unique: it blends 2 programs (American and French) and goes beyond. The American and French teachers are simply amazing: The teachers are dedicated to the student's success and take a very individualized approach so that everyone feels included and heard.
The community is international and very caring: parents, teachers, staff. Everyone works together to help children grow and thrive. Bravo!

Being a foreigner and bilingual in French and English, it is not easy to find a school.
Fortunately, we have the FAA. Our children have been attending the school for one year, in Elementary and Middle School, and it has been a great success.
This success is true both academically and socially.
The teachers know how to stimulate the children to give their best. The general level is very high.
The class sizes are low and my children have a personalized relationship with their teachers. This is very nice for a Middle School.
The school has a very diverse and international student body, which is very open-minded for our children.
I can add that FAA makes every effort to ensure that the education is always the best it can be. My children went to school in person for the entire year, which was incredible in 2021! Not many schools have done that!
My children are extremely happy to be going to FAA and are achieving excellent academics, all in a very challenging environment!

Both our daughters go to the French American Academy. Teachers and staff are carefully selected, and all exhibit strong qualifications and dedication. Thanks to the staff's skills combined with low student/teacher ratio, our children have thrived. Bilingualism and international perspective are a way-of-life at the FAA. Their academic program is rigorous, complying with both French and American requirements. Of note is how quickly the FAA adapted to the COVID-driven lock down. Within just a couple of days, all children had access to daily remote learning sessions with their teachers. The program remained equally demanding of them. Our children's academic trajectory is not negatively impacted, despite these difficult circumstances. Bravo to the FAA team for stepping up to the challenge!
