A PreK-8 Education for Wherever The World Takes You
There are few gifts you can give to your child greater than the ability to feel confident, capable, and prepared as they make their way through the world.
That is the gift of a bilingual, multicultural education — a lifelong edge that begins in early childhood and expands as one grows, providing greater opportunities for higher-level thinking, creative exploration, and global understanding.
A leader in bilingual, multicultural education for 25 years, the French American School of Princeton (FASP) expertly stewards PreK-8 students through their academic journeys preparing them for remarkable success in high school and beyond.
With no French required up to 5th grade, the gift of bilingual, multicultural education is more attainable than ever. We invite you to learn more about the compelling FASP advantage and to schedule your visit today!

While a new NJ state law now requires cursive for public schools, FASP has been leading the way for years—starting as early as preschool. Why? Because the science is clear: cursive builds better brains, improves writing, and boosts student confidence.
