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.
