Wel­come to the French-American Char­ter School

The First Pub­lic French-American Char­ter School in New York City.

The school has opened in Sep­tem­ber 2010 with grades K-2; a new grade level will be added each year until reach­ing grade 12.

MISSION

The mis­sion of the bilingual/biliterate New York French-American Char­ter School is to develop global cit­i­zens who are well-prepared to assume lead­er­ship in a mul­ti­cul­tural society.

Prepar­ing stu­dents for the Inter­na­tional Bac­calau­re­ate (IB) as well as the Regents High School Diploma, the school blends the rig­or­ous stan­dards of learn­ing that are char­ac­ter­is­tic of the French edu­ca­tional sys­tem with Amer­i­can approaches that value indi­vid­u­al­ity and crit­i­cal thinking.

For­ti­fied by this unique edu­ca­tion, grad­u­ates will be viable can­di­dates for Eng­lish– and French-based com­pet­i­tive uni­ver­si­ties through­out the world.
