At the French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS), our unique bilingual program celebrates the cultural wealth, diversity, and multilingualism that define our community. This rich environment strengthens the learning experience and fosters an inclusive and collaborative atmosphere where students thrive academically and personally. Our harmonized curriculum is aligned with both the French Ministry of National Education and the American educational system, ensuring that students receive a robust education grounded in high standards from both systems.

Our bilingual classes, taught in either French, English, or by co-teaching instructors of both languages, broaden students' perspectives and encourage cognitive growth. In the early grades, classes are taught predominantly in French, with a 90% French immersion approach that gradually transitions to a 60% French learning environment by Grade 3. This balanced approach allows students to achieve fluency in both French and English, fostering bilingualism while encouraging global-mindedness.

FASPS teachers work closely across grade levels to harmonize the curriculum in both languages. Through thoughtful coordination, they plan project themes, curriculum content, and classroom experiences that complement and reinforce one another’s teaching styles. This synergy between the French and American educational systems not only enhances academic success but also instills in our students a lifelong love of learning. Our internationally recognized program equips students to succeed academically and thrive as engaged global citizens.
