French-American School of New York

[EduCativ]

We are An international, independent, coeducational day school providing a global education to approximately 800 students in the nursery (3 years old) through grade 12. When analyzing a phenomenon or event or attempting to solve a problem, FASNY students learn that analytical approaches and problem-solving methods are highly influenced by culture and vary significantly. They understand and appreciate this intellectual diversity because they see that more than one valid point of view can be used to address the same challenge. The ability to formulate concepts, raise questions, study problems, play, write, sing, act, and make friends in two languages and within two different cultural frameworks expands our students' academic, cultural, and ethical horizons.

If you walk through the buildings that house our three divisions on any given day, you may see preschool students eagerly engaged in studying the English and French names of the vegetables they are about to plant in the school's garden. You may observe lower school students learning about the American War of Independence in their social studies classes while discussing the French Revolution in their "Histoire Histoire. You may encounter secondary school students reading Shakespeare in English and Corneille in French, then composing a typical French deductive dialectical essay or writing an inductive composition in English, following the MLA format.

As FASNY students progress through the school, they become knowledgeable, adaptable, open-minded young men and women who have acquired significant skills, learned to love and respect many cultures, and consider themselves loyal citizens of the world.

FASNY develops globally literate, multicultural lifelong learners through a unique program that integrates French, American, and international curricula. We educate students to understand, contribute to, and thrive in an interdependent world. FASNY holds its students to the highest standards of academic excellence, supports them in their personal development, and fosters a spirit of inquiry, service, and social responsibility to the environment and the global community. Our Values:

• We believe that an international education, built on bilingualism and multiple approaches to learning, opens minds, teaches adaptability, and prepares children for tomorrow.
• We believe that critical and creative thinking, rigor, and curiosity drive academic excellence.
• We believe that a complete education goes well beyond academics.
• We believe that embracing diversity and inclusiveness shapes better people.
• We believe that students thrive in a safe and nurturing environment.
• We believe that empathy, integrity, and responsibility are at the core of global citizenship.

Our teaching principles are driven by our mission to develop globally literate students who understand, contribute to, and thrive in an interdependent world. Our teaching model, therefore, goes beyond the mastery of two languages. It is based on the acquisition of two cultures, two thought systems, and two ways to express one's ideas. Once students understand and personally experience different ways to comprehend a problem, that different points of view may be equally valid, they are truly global citizens.
