Lancement du Lycée ! Inscriptions ouvertes pour la 3ᵉ (Grade 9)
Le seul lycée IB Candidate de Jersey City
Nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer l’ouverture de notre Lycée et l’ouverture des inscriptions pour la classe de 3ᵉ (Grade 9). Notre Lycée accueille des élèves de tous niveaux en français : aussi bien ceux qui n’ont jamais étudié la langue que des locuteurs natifs.
La French American Academy est une école candidate* pour le Programme d’éducation intermédiaire (MYP). Elle poursuit actuellement la démarche d’autorisation pour devenir une école du monde IB. Ces écoles partagent une philosophie commune : un engagement envers une éducation internationale de haute qualité, exigeante et ouverte sur le monde, valeur essentielle à la FAA pour former ses élèves.
* Seules les écoles autorisées par l’Organisation du Baccalauréat International (IB) peuvent proposer l’un de ses quatre programmes académiques : le Programme primaire (PYP), le Programme d’éducation intermédiaire (MYP), le Programme du diplôme (DP) ou le Programme à orientation professionnelle (CP).

A la FAA, nous suivons la date de référence française du 31 décembre. Ainsi, les enfants nés après le mois d’octobre peuvent s’inscrire avec une année d’avance.
Âge Minimum
L’inscription à la French American Academy se fait au plus tôt à l’âge de 2 ans et 6 mois, en Toute Petite Section (Prek2).
Vous n'avez pas besoin de parler français pour vous inscrire
La connaissance du français n’est pas obligatoire pour entrer à l’école maternelle. A partir du CP, nous proposons un programme accéléré de français (AFP) pour les enfants n’ayant aucune connaissance préalable du français. Après 3 ans dans le programme AFP, les élèves rejoignent la filière bilingue.

Les enfants entrant en Petite Section (PreK3-4) doivent être formés à la propreté, ce qui n’est pas le cas pour la Toute Petite Section (PreK2).
Formulaire de recommandation et bulletin de notes

Pourquoi la French American Academy?
✅ Un programme complet et équilibré
Nous allons au-delà des apprentissages académiques grâce à des voyages scolaires d’une nuit ou d’une semaine : dans le désert de l’Arizona, les lagunes de La Nouvelle-Orléans, les sites historiques du Québec, et bien plus encore !
✅ Axé sur les mathématiques et les sciences
Grâce à des enseignants spécialisés en STEM, à un club de mathématiques et à notre programme de mathématiques appliquées, nos élèves sont mis au défi de comprendre ce qui fait fonctionner le monde.
✅ Apprentissage structuré
Notre approche basée sur les projets incite les élèves à collaborer et à développer des solutions innovantes à des problèmes du monde réel.
✅ Une véritable éducation bilingue
Notre programme bilingue permet non seulement à nos élèves de parler, lire, écrire, compter et penser dans les deux langues, mais il leur donne également un avantage cognitif et culturel par rapport à leurs camarades monolingue.
✅ Des professeurs hautement qualifiés
Nos enseignants ont un minimum de 3+ années d’expérience, un diplôme de master. Tous nos enseignants Français sont diplomés du Ministère de l’Education Nationale. Tous nos enseignants des cours en Anglais sont de langue maternelle anglaise.
✅ Un enseignement accrédité
Notre accréditation par les autorités éducatives françaises et américaines démontre notre engagement à répondre aux normes les plus élevées en matière d’éducation française et américaine.
Dans les coulisses de la FAA
✨The summer holidays have officially begun, and we are kicking off a season of flashbacks to celebrate this amazing and fruitful school year! ☀️
To start things off, we sat down with our graduating Grade 8 students to look back at their time as FAA students and hear about their favorite moments.
Meet our very first graduate spotlight: Ismael! 🎓❤️
Stepping up to the microphone in his graduation gown, Ismael shared a look back at his FAA years and the memories he will cherish forever:
🎒 Years of Lifelong Memories: Reflecting on the incredible experiences, fun classroom moments, and journeys shared with his classmates over the years.
🤝 A Close-Knit Community: Celebrating the tight friendships and supportive environment that made FAA feel like a second home.
🌍 Ready for the Future: Carrying the confidence, bilingual skills, and global mindset cultivated at FAA as he prepares to take on the next big chapter in high school.
We are so incredibly proud of Ismael and the entire graduating class! Watching our Grade 8 students grow into articulate, inspiring global citizens is the ultimate reward. 💙
💙Stay tuned for the next interviews of all our grade 8 graduates💙

"Starting at 3 years old? It’s the ultimate language superpower!" 🧠
Welcome to Part 8 of our Parent Insight Series!
Today, we are chatting with Joseph, proud dad of Liam in PK3, about what it’s really like to start the bilingual journey at the very beginning of early childhood education.
For our youngest learners, stepping into a dual-language environment is a magical experience.
Joseph shares his perspective on why the early years at FAA are so impactful:
🧽 The Ultimate Sponge Phase: At 3 years old, children don`t just learn a language, they absorb it naturally through play, songs, and daily routines without even realizing it.
🏡 A Warm & Safe Soft Landing: How our nurturing preschool teachers create an environment that feels like a second home, making the transition to school seamless for both kids and parents.
🎶 Surprise Moments at Home: The joy of hearing your little one spontaneously singing French songs or naming objects in two languages around the house!
Giving your child a bilingual foundation from PK3 sets them up for a lifetime of cognitive flexibility and cultural openness.
Start Your Child`s Journey Early!
Spaces for our early childhood programs are filling fast.

"The community is what makes it truly special." 🌟🤝
Welcome back to Part 7 of our Parent Insight Series!
We are catching up once again with Michelle, mom of Tesfa, to ask her a very important question: What words of wisdom do you have for families just beginning their journey at the French American Academy?
Having been a part of the FAA family for years, Michelle`s advice is simple, warm, and encouraging:
🎒 Enjoy every moment: Michelle notes that looking back, the entire journey has been an incredibly wonderful and rewarding experience for her entire family.
🗣️ Watch them grow: While your children will naturally learn and pick up French, the academic growth is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.
💙 Embrace the community: The absolute heart of FAA is its people.
Michelle encourages new parents to dive right in, take the time to get to know the other families, connect deeply with the teachers, and fully participate in school life.
Starting a new school journey can feel like a big leap, but at FAA, you are stepping into a supportive, global village ready to welcome you with open arms.

"From New York City to Paris, she adapts completely seamlessly!" 🗽✈️🗼
Welcome to Part 6 of our Parent Insight Series!
Today, we are hearing from the wonderful mom of Nives, Wolsfie, who shares her absolute proudest takeaway from watching her daughter grow up within The French American Academy`s international community.
There is nothing quite like watching your child become a true global citizen, and Nives` mom highlights the exact moment she realized the true power of a bilingual education:
🗣️ Effortless Code-Switching: Seeing how incredibly comfortable and quick Nives is when switching between French and English depending on who she is speaking to.
🗼 Making Friends Abroad: A favorite memory of waiting in line at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where Nives instantly struck up a conversation and made friends with another girl, chatting away in fluent French as if they had known each other forever!
🌎 Two Cultures Coming Alive: Whether navigating the streets of NYC or exploring France, seeing both languages and cultures genuinely come alive within her daughter.
Bilingualism isn`t just about learning words, it’s about building the confidence to connect with the world, no matter where you are. 💙

Honoring history, celebrating freedom, and fostering global understanding. Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏾✨
Today at our Heights campus, our students gathered for a deeply meaningful 10:00 AM presentation: "Juneteenth: What It Means," led by our incredible guest speaker, Reginald Bennett Jr. (Reggie)!
Reggie is a phenomenal teaching artist, baritone vocalist, music educator, and doctoral researcher at Fordham University. Through his expertise in culturally responsive education, he brought history to life, giving our students a powerful and transformative look into the significance of this historic day.📜
What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved individuals in Galveston, Texas finally learned of their freedom, a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
It serves as a vital reminder of the hard-fought journey toward liberty and equality.
🌍 A Global Perspective:
As an international, bilingual community, we look at history through a global lens.
This day of reflection beautifully mirrors France’s own historical milestones, such as the Taubira Law (which recently marked its 25th anniversary), officially recognizing slavery as a crime against humanity.
Together, these shared histories remind our students of the immense importance of remembrance, education, and a continued, cross-border commitment to freedom, equity, and justice for all.
A massive thank you to Reggie for sharing his incredible insights, art, and wisdom with our school today! 🕊️❤️

A standing ovation for our Englewood Campus! ❤️✨
Our students blew us away with an absolute masterpiece for their End-of-Year Show!
They brought to life a brilliant, original storyline about a clown who lost his nose, weaving together a beautiful blend of visual art, wonderful singing, and even some spectacular tap dancing! 🎨🎶🩰
The boundless creativity of our team and students never ceases to amaze us. We are so incredibly proud of the teamwork, raw emotion, and immense care our students poured into every single moment on stage.
A massive thank you to:
👩🏫 Our dedicated teachers for their hard work, passion, and guidance in making this vision a reality.
👏 Our amazing parents for their loudest cheers, love, and constant support from the audience!
