Alexandre took some time to talk with us about his current life and to share memories from his FASP years and the foundational impact of his bilingual education.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself before we go down memory lane?
My name is Alexandre Cartier. I am originally from France, but I had the opportunity to come to the United States at the start of 6th grade and spent 7 years there until the end of high school. I spent 3 years at FASP, a school that helped me transition not only from France to the US but also to an international way of thinking because of the people I met.

We had a wonderful opportunity to catch up with Akshay and talk about his current studies and work in Veterinary Medicine. Akshay remembers his FASP years with fondness and discusses the many advantages of his former education.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself before we go down memory lane?
Yes, of course. My name is Akshay. I am a student at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. I was born in Toronto, Canada where I lived until my family and I moved to Princeton at the when I was 10 years old. When I’m not at school, I love playing with my dog, Hudson, cycling, cooking, and watching sports.
My 10 year experience at FASP was unlike anything I could have received at any other school. The dynamic between the teachers and the students was amazing and the smaller classes allowed for more attention to be given to students. I was able to participate on many educational trips such as our trip to the United Nations and my eighth grade trip to Puerto Rico where we learnt about the different ecosystems of the island and its history. We also had speakers from other countries educate us about their life and experiences. I truly don’t believe I could have had such a unique, bilingual experience anywhere else.
