Chères familles,
Un accueil chaleureux et sincère de la part du service des admissions de la French American Academy !
Merci d’avoir envisagé d’offrir à votre enfant (ou vos enfants) une éducation internationale au sein de notre école bilingue français-anglais du New Jersey.
À la French American Academy, vos enfants, nos élèves, évoluent dans un environnement international, au cœur d’une communauté riche de cultures, de langues, d’idées et de perspectives. Cette diversité les encourage à explorer le monde avec un regard global. Notre mission est de former des citoyens du monde, capables de relever les défis et de contribuer à construire un avenir meilleur. Nous visons à développer chez nos élèves le respect, la curiosité, la santé, la résilience et un leadership éclairé. Ils sont inspirés à cultiver un état d’esprit ouvert et une sagesse qui leur permettront de mener une vie épanouie, guidée par l’intégrité et le sens des responsabilités.
L’équipe des admissions de la FAA est à vos côtés pour vous accompagner dans cette étape importante qu’est le choix d’une école pour votre enfant. Cette section vous donnera toutes les informations pratiques relatives à notre processus d’admission.
Nous vous remercions de visiter notre site web et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir prochainement sur l’un de nos campus !

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). Le statut de candidat ne garantit pas l’autorisation. Pour plus d’informations sur l’IB et ses programmes, veuillez consulter www.ibo.org.

Informations à connaître avant de s'inscrire
Cutoff Date - Dec. 31st
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.
La Propreté
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
Nous demandons aux parents de nous fournir une recommandation de l’enseignant si l’élève a déjà été scolarisé dans un établissement scolaire ou une garderie. À partir du CP, nous demandons également les bulletins scolaires.
Procédure d'Application
Pour plus d’informations sur la procédure d’admission, veuillez consulter notre page Étapes pour s’Inscrire
2025-26
Nous acceptons actuellement les candidatures.
2026-27
Les candidatures ouvrent à l’été 2025.
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.

Coffee, croissants, and… a pop quiz? 🥐🔬☕️
Last week, our 9th graders hosted a wonderful Parent Breakfast, but they didn`t just sit back and mingle, they completely ran the show!
Here is what they had planned for their families:
🎤 Student Presentations: The kids took the stage to share their recent projects!
🧬 Parents in the Hot Seat: To mix things up, the students challenged their parents to a lively, interactive science quiz. (We loved seeing the parents put to the test!)
It was such a joy to see our high schoolers step into a leadership role with so much confidence and enthusiasm.
A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us, played along, and made it such a great morning! 👏✨

Sparks of curiosity in Grade 9 Science! ⚡️🔬
This week, our 9th graders rolled up their sleeves for a fascinating, hands-on physics lab.
In their science co-teaching class, learning in both English and French, students investigated the relationship between current and voltage across various voltage sources.
By measuring and analyzing the electrical data, our young scientists tested core physics principles and observed real-world electrical behaviors in action.
This collaborative, bilingual approach to STEM not only deepens their scientific reasoning but also expands their technical vocabulary in two languages! 🌍💡
We are incredibly proud of their focus and teamwork in the lab.

The Future of Energy, Explained by Grade 9! 🌍⚡
Our 9th graders are tackling a massive topic in Science class right now: the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy.
Instead of just reading from a textbook, they took total ownership of this unit!
They dove into the theory, built hands-on projects to show how different energy systems work, and even stepped in front of the camera to explain their findings themselves.
It is so inspiring to see our high schoolers go from learning the science to confidently teaching it.
Check out the video to hear directly from our students! 🌱💡
