DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & WELLBEING
MIDDLE SCHOOL
 
Our Middle School program delves deeper into social justice, leadership, and global citizenship. Students engage in service learning, participate in affinity groups, and take part in transformative trips abroad to understand the complexities of global issues. Through these experiences, they gain the knowledge and skills to become effective, thoughtful leaders who can advocate for change and make a positive impact in their communities-both locally and globally. Students not only engage with social issues but also take action to address them, building confidence in their ability to lead with purpose and compassion.

A Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Across all grade levels, our school fosters a community where every student is valued for their unique perspective. We celebrate the richness of cultural diversity, and through age-appropriate curriculum and experiences, we ensure that every child is equipped with the tools they need to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Peer Mediation

Elementary and Middle School students engage in peer mediation programs, where they are trained to help resolve conflicts, and develop strong communication and empathy.

Conferences

Students in Middle School attend and participate in regional leadership and diversity conferences.

Student Council

The Student Council also plays a key role in fostering student leadership and activism, guiding initiatives that promote inclusivity, sustainability, and community involvement. Students collaborate on projects that address issues such as equality, environmental stewardship, and community service, both locally and globally.

International Exchange Trips

One of the most exciting opportunities for our Middle School students is the chance to participate in international exchange trips. FASPS has partnered with organizations in France, the Canary Islands, and Taiwan to provide students with an immersive multicultural experience.

Affinity Groups and Clubs

FASPS is currently developing the following affinity roups for Middle School students: AAPI, Black Student Union, Latinx and Hispanic, LGBTQIA+, MENA, Multiracial, and South Asian.

FASPS

With two campuses, our main campus on Mercer Island and our new preschool campus in the vibrant Capitol Hill area of Seattle, the French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS) is a private, bilingual school for children age 18 months (tiny young pre-kindergarten) through grade 8. Students benefit from a rigorous academic program, arts and technology curriculum, social and emotional learning, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities.
