International Education

Building Global Awareness Through International Education

Students are empowered to deepen their global perspective by engaging with the rich educational frameworks of both the French and American systems.

Through this experience, they cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning skills by actively comparing, contrasting, and analyzing diverse viewpoints.

This approach equips them with the tools to navigate a complex world while emphasizing the profound value of a genuine International Education. As they embark on this journey, students emerge as thoughtful, informed global citizens, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

International Education at The French American Academy

Starting as young as preschool, we teach our students to think as global citizens. Our students are aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world and how it works.

Our bilingual curriculum encourages students to ask meaningful questions, analyze evidence from multiple sources, and draw conclusions. Our students recognize that there are different perspectives and learn to incorporate them into their points of view.

Our students communicate effectively in a diverse community. By applying what they learn, we encourage students to take action to address local and global challenges. We are committed to providing a global mindset at the French American Academy, where we strive to be one of the top international schools in New Jersey.

International Education in the Classroom

La Semaine Du Goût

Through events like La Semaine Du Goût, students are exposed to a wide variety of cuisines and cultures. This event brings together students from various backgrounds to try new foods and learn about different cultures, helping to broaden students understanding and appreciation for diversity.

French & American Revolutions

In history class, our students analyze and compare revolutions. This method helps them learn more than just the dates and locations of world events; it allows them to comprehend the reasons behind these occurrences.

Foulées Olympiques

Through events like “Foulées Olympiques,” our students have the opportunity to learn about and support global causes. These experiences help our students understand their ability to make a positive impact on the world and encourage them to take action to help those in need.
