The French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS) inspires the next generation of global citizens to learn, understand, and act wisely in a multicultural world. Students achieve bilingual fluency in a rigorous academic program that combines the best philosophies of the French and American educational systems.

At FASPS, we welcome students of all language backgrounds. No prior French is required for admission. Beginning in Grade 1, students without French experience, especially highly capable learners, will be admitted into our FAST (French Accelerated Scholars Track) program, where they will receive tailored support to thrive in our bilingual environment.

We are committed to meeting every child’s unique needs. Our dedicated learning specialists provide differentiated instruction and enrichment opportunities for all students—including accommodations for neurodiverse students, and advanced coursework, project-based learning, and mentorship programs for advanced learners—ensuring each child is challenged and engaged.

Beyond academics, we nurture the whole child. Our community celebrates diverse perspectives, fosters social-emotional growth, and enriches young lives through multicultural experiences.
