It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school offers a harmonized bilingual program from TYPK (18 months) through Grade 8, combining French and American curricula to develop proficiency in both languages. Learn about FASPS by signing up for an in-person tour or registering for open houses through the Ravenna application portal. Preschool and kindergarten applicants can attend Discovery Morning on a Saturday in March, while elementary and middle school applicants experience a Class Visit Day scheduled by the Director of Enrollment Management. A 15‑minute Book a Call with the admissions team is available to answer questions.
The school awards over $2 million in tuition assistance each year, supporting about 20% of families. The program is based on demonstrated financial need and the availability of funds, with the Clarity Financial Aid system used to determine a family's level of need based on assets, income, expenses, and debts (the application is mobile-friendly). French citizens may be eligible for Bourses Scolaires through the French Consulate in San Francisco, and families may also apply for tuition assistance with FASPS; the Bourse Scolaire application is submitted online through Scolaide, a portal managed by AEFE, with information on creating a profile available from the Director of Enrollment Management. A list of supporting documents can be found for the Bourses Scolaires, and eligibility details are provided by the French Consulate. The school's Tuition Assistance FAQ explains that tuition assistance decisions are independent from admissions decisions, and that the Tuition Assistance Committee (comprising the Head of School, CFO, Director of Enrollment Management, and a board member) makes those decisions based on the provided financial information; a New Family Fee is a one-time charge that supports capital expenditures.
French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS) serves students from 18 months through Grade 8 across two campuses and a future North Beacon Hill campus opening in 2026–2027. The school offers a blended curriculum that combines the French national framework with American practices, delivered through bilingual instruction in French and English. From preschool through middle school, students follow France's cycles while participating in MAP assessments in math, reading, and language usage. The school holds affiliation with AEFE and Mission Laïque Française, is a member of AFSA, and participates in NAIS and NWAIS networks, with accreditation from the French Ministry of Education and NWAIS. Facilities include Mercer Island's 30 classrooms and a library, Capitol Hill's Preschool Campus, and a planned North Beacon Hill home with arts, STEM labs, and gym spaces. Athletics compete in CYO and CMSL; middle school clubs include Math Club, Science Club, and Musical Theater for families worldwide.
