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.
