Parent Experience

History
Founded in 1980 by Katrine Watkins and Sylvette Maschino, the French-American School of New York began in one room with 17 nursery and pre-kindergarten students at 111 Larchmont Avenue in Larchmont. A second campus opened on East Boston Post Road in the early 1990s and, in 1995, moved to 145 New Street in Mamaroneck to house preschool and the high school, which then went up to the 10th grade. In 2007, FASNY added grades 11 and 12, offering the French baccalaureate tracks as well as the International Option, and the first high-school graduation took place in 2009. The International Baccalaureate program was added in 2015, the high school relocated to the Most Holy Trinity site in 2017, and the preschool returned to Larchmont in 2018. In 2020, FASNY celebrated its 40th anniversary and launched the International Program for grades 1–8, with roughly 70% of subjects taught in English and 30% in French; in 2024 the school ranked highly within the AEFE network worldwide.
