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.

To celebrate Black History Month, 9th graders created monochromatic portraits to honor influential activists and artists. From civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks to contemporary artists like Wangechi Mutu and Kara Walker, and poet Amanda Gorman, each portrait pays tribute to individuals who have challenged injustice and worked toward a more inclusive world, one that moves beyond categories and labels.

Finding their voice through the power of a good book! 📖🗣️
Our 4th and 5th graders (CM1-CM2) have been working incredibly hard over the past few weeks on a very special project: the "Champions de la Lecture" (Reading Champions) competition!
For this project, each student chose a favorite excerpt from a book and practiced reading it aloud in front of their classmates.
This amazing initiative is all about developing a passion for reading while building essential life skills like vocal expression, public speaking, and self-confidence.
We are so proud of their dedication and the tremendous progress they have made in their oral reading.
Following this classroom stage, one student will be selected to represent our school in the next rounds of the competition!
Let`s cheer them all on! 👏🎉

Flashback to a powerful day of learning and reflection. 🕰️🕊️
Our 8th-grade students took a profoundly meaningful field trip to the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NYC last month.
Stepping outside the classroom, they engaged deeply with history, learning vital lessons about resilience, remembrance, and the enduring importance of human rights.
Experiences like this are a crucial part of our middle school curriculum. By connecting historical events to the real world, we aim to help our students grow into empathetic, aware, and thoughtful global citizens.
We are incredibly proud of the maturity, curiosity, and respect our 8th graders demonstrated throughout this important visit.

Dive into the incredible journey of water! 💧🌍
A huge thank you to @veolianorthamerica for bringing their educational program to our classrooms!
Our students had a fantastic time learning all about the vital role water plays in our world:
Grade 1: Our young explorers discovered why water is absolutely essential for all living species and discussed the many different ways we rely on it in our daily lives. 🌱🚰
Grade 3: Through the "Incredible Journey Program," students took a deeper dive into the water cycle! They learned the fascinating science behind how water moves through our environment and how Veolia works to provide clean, safe water directly to our homes. 🌧️🏡
Hands-on learning and community partnerships like this help our students become mindful, eco-conscious global citizens! 💙

This week, our middle school students learned how pilots actually think: we filed a flight plan, ran cross-country simulator flights from airport to airport, and practiced low-fuel emergency landings. When we weren’t flying, we were building, using Raspberry Pi 5 and Arduino circuit boards to sharpen hardware and software engineering skills.
Want to try it yourself?
Come fly a 15-minute Cessna 172 simulator session with one of our certified flight instructors during our Flight Simulator Demo Day; on Saturday, Feb 28 (1–3pm) at 118 Ferry Street, in Jersey City! Perfect for adults and kids of all ages!
Join us and see if you have what it takes to be a pilot!

Brewing up a greener future in the lab! 🌱🔬⛽
Our High School students are taking hands-on science to the next level by exploring sustainable energy solutions. In their latest chemistry lab, they studied the biological process of alcoholic fermentation using yeast to convert sugars into ethanol.
But they didn`t stop there!
To purify their creation, students then set up and performed a precise distillation of the ethanol.
The ultimate goal of this experiment?
Understanding how these exact chemical processes are used in the real world to produce renewable biofuels for vehicles!
This fantastic project perfectly bridges the gap between theoretical chemistry and real-world environmental problem-solving.
We love seeing our future scientists tackle tomorrow`s challenges today. 🌍💡
