Welcome To The French American School of Puget Sound
The French American School of Puget Sound (FASPS) prepares students to thrive in a multicultural world by fostering global citizenship through a rigorous bilingual program. FASPS seamlessly integrates bilingualism across subjects like math, science, and history, allowing students to think, learn, and innovate in both French and English while benefiting from the cognitive advantages of a dual-language education.
With a diverse student body representing more than 60 countries, FASPS is a vibrant international community that celebrates cultural richness and global perspectives. Accredited by both the French Ministry of Education and the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS), the school introduces bilingual learning as early as 18 months, setting the foundation for strong cognitive development and long-term academic success.
At the heart of FASPS is an exceptional and diverse faculty, committed to excellence and continuous professional growth. Through a dynamic, research-based approach to bilingual education, FASPS has established itself as a leader in harmonized bilingual learning in the Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest.
FASPS hasn’t moved—we’ve grown! Our beloved bilingual preschool is now available at a second campus in Capitol Hill, offering the same immersive French program that families know and love from our original Mercer Island location. At FASPS Capitol Hill, children don’t just learn French—they live it! Our program nurtures cognitive development, strengthens problem-solving skills, and builds a global perspective in a warm, supportive environment.
