A K-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!

Launched as part of FASP’s commitment to forward thinking, bilingual education, Food for Thought is rooted in a timely and essential theme: sustainability. Over the course of the academic year, students rotated through four immersive workshops - Art, Film, Gardening/STEM, and Cooking - each exploring the deep connections between food, health, culture, and the environment. The program culminated in a student-produced film that showcased their learning and collaborative achievements!

At the French American School of Princeton (FASP), STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education is more than just learning scientific facts or formulas. The approach focuses on fostering creative problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration. Central to the curriculum is the engineering design process, which encourages students to not only learn technical skills but to apply them innovatively.
“It's not just about what you know, but how you use what you know to solve real-world problems,” says Brent Deisher, STEM teacher for grades 1 to 8.

Sophia had just started her higher education at Georgetown University when she chatted with us. With a love for languages and ice skating, Sophia is taking on big life pursuits; a career in law, politics and linguistics alongside her training in competitive figure skating.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, where are you now?
I am currently a student at the Georgetown University Walsh School of Foreign Service where I plan to study international politics and linguistics. After graduating I plan on pursuing a law degree and a career in international law. I am also a competitive ice dancer and am continuing to train and compete while studying in Washington.
