Aperçu des admissions
Bienvenue à la French American Academy !
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 !
Avec toute notre considération,
Kalyana Maréchal, Ph.D
Directrice des Admissions
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

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.

🌟 Week 2 Magic: Exploring, Creating, and Growing Together in PK3!
Our little learners had an extraordinary second week of school!
From establishing daily classroom routines to creative play, every single day brought new discoveries, big milestones, and endless laughter. 📚
Highlights from Week 2 for our PK3:
🏷️ Classroom Routines: Discovering new materials, learning calendar and math concepts, and identifying our personal photo name tags!
🎨 Artistic Adventures: Diving into painting, experimenting with mark-making, and scribbling with both markers and hands.
🧱 Independent Play: Exploring learning stations and engineering VERY tall block towers (and having even more fun knocking them down!).
🏃♂️ Friday Fun: Conquering the gym obstacle course with incredible energy and giant smiles!
Bravo to all of our amazing children for making so much progress and settling into school so smoothly!
We are so proud of you all! 👏💖✨👇

✨ School Year Theme: Gender Equality! ✨
This year, The French American Academy is diving into UN Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality! 🌍
To kick off our focus on leadership and human rights, we’re looking back at last year’s Echo Projects, where so many of our students chose to research and amplify the voices of inspiring, history-making women and men. 📣
Through these student-led projects, learners choose figures who inspire them and examine how their legacies shape a better future, building critical thinking, empathy, and deep research skills along the way.
💡 Fun Fact: Former 4th grader Julianna independently chose feminist leader Gloria Steinem as her mentor, exploring her impact alongside Hillary Clinton with incredible passion!
Swipe through to revisit some of last year’s standout student projects on remarkable women, and join us in celebrating Gender Equality all year long! 💙
