Complete your online application. A $150 non refundable fee will be requested at the time of application. 

After receiving your application, the admission office will send you a checklist reminder. You can start accessing your portal and providing missing admission materials anytime after submitting your application.

The deadline to submit your application is Dec 15, 2020. If you apply after that date, your application will still be considered on a rolling basis and a decision letter will be sent based on grade availability. 

Once you have submitted the New Student Application, the next step is to schedule a 45 min. personal outreach phone call with our Admission Office. This is a required component of the FASNY application process. We look forward to learning more about your family and answering any questions you have.

We invite you to take a virtual tour at any point during the admissions process on our website.

The Student Rating Form must be sent electronically from your application portal to your child’s current teacher. Once your teacher has completed the form, you will receive an electronic notification and your checklist item will be marked as complete.

Following the French Ministry of Education’s policies, prospective students registered in a school accredited by the French Government are admitted on the basis of school records and teacher recommendations. In some cases, the French-American School of New York will contact the Director or teachers of the applicant's school for further information. 

In the case of children who live in the New York area, or those visiting the area, an evaluation to determine placement is also customary.

The Admissions Office will send your child’s virtual playgroup or screening confirmation date and time in December 2020 when applicable.

FASNY is eager to encourage all qualified students to apply to the school. We are actively committed to maintaining a school community of students from diverse backgrounds and experiences and our extensive financial aid program helps to make a FASNY education accessible for those who demonstrate financial need. FASNY grants approximately $2.3 million in financial aid to 17 percent of the student body.

The Financial Aid Program uses an outside organization called TADS to establish financial need. Questions about financial aid? Please visit our Financial Aid section for more information or contact Stephanie Reyna, Financial Aid Coordinator, at 914.250.0412 / sreyna@fasny.org.

FASNY requires that transcripts be submitted by January 5 for an application to be considered in the first round. Transcripts can be uploaded directly to your Online Application Portal. For 2019-2020 report cards, we recommend families make these requests as early as possible.

If your school provides semester report cards, please notify the admissions office immediately.
