French American School of Rhode Island (FASRI) is an independent bilingual day school in Providence serving students from preschool through eighth grade. The curriculum combines a French program and an American framework, taught in both French and English, with Spanish added in grade 6. The school is part of the AEFE network and holds accreditation from the French Ministère de l'Éducation, NEASC, and the Rhode Island Board of Education. Maternelle (PK–K) begins the cycle in two languages; elementary classes are co-taught in French and English across language arts, reading, writing, science and social studies, and middle school continues bilingual instruction with English-dominant math and science and a French-English language arts track. The Coast to Coast Signature Program connects FASRI with another AFSA network school for cross-country, cross-cultural collaboration. Field trips and partnerships with RISD Museum, Providence College, and institutions enrich learning. DELF language certifications are offered in multiple levels.
