    “I really feel like people have my back at this school… I’ll never be able to thank the school enough for what they’ve poured into me and helped me achieve in my life.”

    – Madeleine Mousseau (Class of 2013)

  • A young woman with dark brown hair, wearing hoop earrings and a beige sleeveless top, smiling at the camera. She has a name tag that reads 'Quincy-23'. In the background, there is a sign with stylized blue outlines of the Eiffel Tower and another structure, likely an art display or store sign.

    “I built such a strong community here that I was devastated to leave… but I realized those connections stay with you. It goes beyond just the place.”

    – Quincy Souquet (Class of 2023)

  • A smiling woman wearing a black top and a blue necklace, standing in front of a sign that says 'FASPS.' She has a white name tag that says 'NOUR - 2021.'

    “We always had this running joke in my class — ‘FASPS forever.’ It started as a joke, but somewhere along the way it became true.” 

    - Nour Khalifa (Class of 2021)

  • Close-up of a woman with curly red hair, smiling, wearing a gold chain necklace and earrings, and a white sleeveless top.

    The bilingual education I got at FASPS has given me a diverse approach to learning, which extended through my high school and college experiences.
