FASNY is a bilingual, bicultural N-12 day school with three campuses in Mamaroneck and Larchmont, NY, educating over 700 students. It offers two programs: the French-American Program and the International Program, which begins in Grade 1. The school is accredited to offer both the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and the French baccalaureate, and all graduates earn a New York State high school diploma. In preschool, the program is French immersion starting at age 3, with Nursery 80% French and 20% English and PreK–Kindergarten 70% French and 30% English; the curriculum centers on six core areas: language acquisition, mathematical concepts, science exploration, social studies, arts and sports, and social-emotional skills, with curriculum interconnected across themes and languages. English as a Second Language and French as a Second Language instruction are available throughout the curriculum to support entry at various grades. In High School, the International and IB programs are taught in English and offered as an option alongside the French-American program.
Well-being is the foundation of learning at FASNY from Preschool through High School. In the bilingual Preschool, a team of French and English-speaking educators ensures every child feels secure and supported. A dedicated Well-Being team—nurse, counselors, a librarian, and a speech therapist—creates a caring atmosphere that supports social, emotional, and academic growth. Lower School maintains bilingual instruction with routines, outdoor play, and collaborative teaching that builds confidence, independence, and belonging. In Middle School, a network of educators and wellness professionals guides students through adolescence with life- and study-skills classes that support academic success and personal growth. By High School, students take ownership of learning and leadership, with the Well-Being team fostering social-emotional development alongside student-led clubs, athletics, and service opportunities.
Learning Support is provided with differentiated teaching to address the needs of each child. Extra help is built into students' schedules, varying by age group. Directed Studies offers after-school structures, including tutoring, homework help, and supervised study, though these structures are currently not available because of the covid pandemic. Language Support in English uses a three-tiered approach to move students from beginner level to native-like fluency while benefiting from the American curriculum. In French, Lower School uses push-in and pull-out models to tailor language instruction, and a French speech therapist provides personalized support; in Middle and High School, extra help in French is available at every grade level. The School Support Team includes professionals such as a Speech Therapist and Counselors who coordinate these services.
English as an Additional Language is supported through a three-tiered program that moves students from beginner to native-like fluency while engaging with the American curriculum. Students who are not fluent in English are taught the American curriculum in smaller groups, with emphasis on language acquisition. English language support emphasizes language development in tandem with content learning.
Mental wellbeing is foundational to learning at FASNY, with a Well-Being team supporting students from preschool through high school. The team includes a nurse, school counselors, a librarian, and a speech therapist who collaborate with teachers to address psycho-social needs. Counselors implement SEL programs, facilitate circle time, teach social skills, and provide a space for students and families to talk. In Middle School and High School, life- and study-skills classes help students develop time management, self-awareness, and communication. On campus, resources and collaboration with families promote a safe, supportive environment that fosters personal growth.
When concerns arise about a student's academic or psycho-social performance, the well-being team meets to discuss concerns. The team includes the leader of learning, the counselor, the dean of students, the head of school, and others directly involved with the child; for Elementary, the format is simpler with teachers, counselors, administrators, and parents. The team develops an action plan with strategies to support the student academically and psycho-socially, shares the plan with parents, and may involve the school psychologist and the speech therapist. If further academic or psycho-social evaluation or therapy is necessary, a referral to outside resources will be made. In collaboration with families, division heads, teachers, and the well-being team, FASNY offers on-campus services to enrich the learning environment.

Applications and Admissions
Step 1: Submit your online application
The submission of applications to FASNY is done online. To do this, go to the Application Space: once your account is created, please follow the instructions provided. We will require a non-refundable application fee of $150.
Upon receipt of your application, the Admissions Office will send you a reminder email with the list of documents needed to complete your file. If you have omitted any documents at the time of submission, you can of course upload them later from your Application Space.
The deadline to submit your application is December 15, 2025. If you apply after this date, we will certainly review your file, but you will be placed on a waiting list and we will send our decision based on remaining places available.
Step 2: Schedule your Discovery sessions
Individual interview
After submitting your application, the next step is to schedule a 45‑minute phone interview with the Admissions Office from your admissions portal. This step is mandatory in the FASNY admissions process. It is for us to get to know your family and to answer any questions you may have at this stage.
Meetings & Discovery
We also encourage you to attend our virtual “Meet and Greet” sessions: small discussion groups that will allow you to learn more about FASNY and the unique experience the school offers to its students and to their families. To participate, please select a date from your Admissions Space.
Visits
You can also schedule a virtual or in‑person visit from your admissions space. Our photo gallery also allows you to view our campuses in pictures.
Step 3: confidential evaluation form due by December 15
A confidential evaluation form must be completed by the teacher (or teachers) currently responsible for your child's education. We ask you to send this form to the teacher as early as possible via your Admissions Space. The teacher must return the completed document to us by December 15, 2025.
Once the teacher has completed and returned this form, you will receive a notification and the list of documents added to your file will be automatically updated.
Step 4: Meetings with students and placement interviews
Two scenarios: your child is currently enrolled in the French system, or your child is enrolled in an American (or foreign) system.
If your child is currently enrolled in an institution accredited by the French Government (French school or AEFE network): in accordance with the directives of the French Ministry of Education, we will decide on the student's admission based on the school reports and the recommendations provided by the teachers.
In some cases, FASNY reserves the right to directly contact the head of the school or the teachers of the school in question to gather further information about the student.
Depending on the chosen program, and for greater flexibility, virtual or in‑person evaluations may take place. The dates will be confirmed in December.
For students from CP to terminale: evaluations last about 45 minutes and focus on prior learning. We assess the student based on five criteria: reading comprehension; writing skills; oral expression; mathematics; and, if relevant, French (note: French is not a prerequisite to be admitted to FASNY).
Step 5: Complete the financial aid application by February 1 (optional)
All families wishing to apply for financial aid must complete the corresponding forms by February 1.
We are deeply committed to ensuring diversity within our community and strongly encourage any deserving student to apply. A family's financial situation should not be an obstacle to enrolling children at FASNY.
We have put in place a substantial financial aid program to assist families with limited resources: currently, FASNY provides about $2.3 million in financial aid to 17.6% of its students.
The Financial Aid Team works closely with the TADS/SSS organization to identify the specific needs of families and to support them effectively in their steps.
If you have questions, please consult our dedicated page for more information.
Step 6: Transcripts due by January 10
Transcripts and report cards must be provided by January 10, 2026 to secure priority review of your application. You can upload these transcripts and reports directly to the Admissions Space.
What documents are requested exactly?
For students previously educated in the French system, these are the quarterly reports. For students not educated in the French system, we request:
- Transcripts of all grades obtained by the student in their previous schools.
- The interim reports corresponding to the current school year (2025-2026): these are the report cards. We recommend that families contact their child's current school as soon as possible to obtain the documents within the deadlines.
Generally, these reports are provided to families every term, but some schools only provide semester reports, which may affect your schedule; if this is the case at your school and you anticipate a delay in document delivery, please notify the FASNY Admissions Office immediately.
- Some schools provide families with progress reports detailing student progress over the term: these are progress reports. If applicable, please share these documents with us.
Quick access to the Admissions Space
Step 7: FASNY communicates its decision
On February 6, 2026, you will receive an email notifying you of FASNY's decision regarding your child's admission.
Please note that if you submitted your application after the December 15, 2025 deadline (see step 1), you will receive the notification after February 6, 2026: the calendar will depend on the date you submitted your application and the number of places still available.
Regarding the allocation of financial aid and scholarships, you will receive notification directly from the Financial Aid Office. We invite you to consult this page for more information.
Step 8: Confirm your child's enrollment at FASNY
If your child is admitted to FASNY, we ask you to confirm their enrollment by March 10, 2026 to guarantee a place at the school. To confirm enrollment, please:
- Return the enrollment contract duly signed (you can submit it online), and
- Pay a deposit of $3,000 by check, bank transfer, or online (a link to the Smart Tuition platform will be provided). This deposit, which covers part of the tuition for the start of the year, is non‑refundable.
