General Admission Information
In the interest of a positive educational experience for our students, the family’s demonstrated interest in and commitment to FASNY’s mission is critical.
We strongly encourage all families to apply for admission as early as possible in their child’s education in order to maximize the benefits of our bilingual program.
Because space is limited in Preschool, we strongly recommend that families apply to enroll their children in Nursery.
Because of limited enrollment at each grade level, we are unable to accept all qualified applicants and therefore maintain a waitlist.
The French-American School of New York is a day school, not a boarding school. FASNY does not enroll applicants wishing to pursue their last years of High School in New York without their families.
English as a Second Language instruction is available throughout the curriculum, therefore, non-English-speaking applicants may be admitted at any level in the French-American track.
French as a Second Language instruction is available throughout the curriculum, therefore, non-French-speaking applicants may be admitted at any level in the International track.
