The governance of the French American School of Princeton is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees. The Board hires, evaluates, and supports the Head of School, implements the school mission and policies, and holds fiduciary responsibility. The school is accredited and part of a broader network of international French-language schools, including AEFE and AFSA.
French American School of Princeton is an independent bilingual day school serving ages 3 through 14, offering a blend of French and American teaching. The Preschool–8 program uses cross-language transfer to build fluency in both languages. No prior French knowledge is required through Grade 3; Grades 1–5 students receive additional French support (FLE). Beginning in Grade 6, students must demonstrate French proficiency and participate in an admissions assessment. The school is affiliated with AEFE and accredited by the French Ministry of Education and the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools, with NJAIS/MSA-CESS dual accreditation. The 42-acre campus beside Lake Carnegie in Princeton includes a gym, a soccer field, and multiple recess areas within neo-Gothic facilities, including a chapel and a stage. Textbooks are bilingual, and middle school students receive iPads. The program emphasizes bilingual fluency and biliteracy, preparing graduates to think and communicate in both languages across diverse settings worldwide.
