Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Founded 25 years ago by Corinne Güngör to promote bilingual and international education. Academics and accreditations are important and form the bedrock of FASP, but nurturing a school that supports students, families, faculty, and staff is equally critical. The school models the world envisioned by its founder, emphasizing open-mindedness, tolerance, and respect. FASP invites prospective families to visit, learn about its mission and values, and explore the Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School divisions, along with dual accreditations by NJAIS/MSA-CESS and the French Ministry of Education.

Community

FASP maintains a bilingual, international community across its three divisions: Early Childhood, Elementary, and Middle School. The community emphasizes a respectful, supportive environment where students are treated as valued individuals who are part of the school family. The Head of School highlights a culture of leadership, curiosity, and collaboration within the school community. Visitors and prospective families are encouraged to engage with the school to learn about its mission and values.

Parent-Teacher Association

The French American School of Princeton has an active Parents Association. The Association collaborates with parents, teachers, and school administrators to organize activities for students and their families. Its goal is to enhance and supplement the classroom experience and strengthen the school community. There are many activities and events planned for 2025-26, and members can sign up to volunteer through the volunteer sign-up sheet. For questions or to propose events, email pa@ecoleprinceton.org. The Association runs a Spiritwear store, with proceeds benefiting the association.

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.
