The French American School of Princeton celebrates its Class of 2026 graduates for their admissions into a prestigious range of local and international secondary schools. Head of School Corinne Güngör credited this success to the students' hard work, the dedication of the faculty, and the strong support of their families.
“FASP has been part of our family for 12 years. Both my daughters started in Pre-K and have spent their elementary & middle school years in this amazing environment. Both are fully bilingual and bicultural and have benefited from the loving structure and academic challenges provided by the school that has proven instrumental in raising attentive, adaptable, responsible, open-minded, curious, committed, and happy kids. Never was there a day they didn’t want to go to school. The teachers are passionate about teaching, care about the kids, and they go above and beyond for their students.”
