Bonjour

The French-American School of Rhode Island (FASRI) is a unique educational alternative for Preschool through 8th grade, expanding young minds at twice the speed of language. Our French immersion program runs from Pre-school through Kindergarten, and the dual language French and American program from grades 1 through 8. FASRI welcomes non-French speaking children up to and including Kindergarten.

What's the key developmental advantage of dual language schooling? Dual language schooling tends to build stronger, more complex, more agile brains, neuroscientists say.

FASRI is fully accredited, not only by the state but by the French government, which regularly judges our performance.

Please come and visit us to find out more. Our doors are open to welcome you.

“I truly believe in children receiving a multilingual education. I believe this should be the norm for ALL children in this country.”

Why two languages, and why now?

Before the age of twelve, our brains can more easily absorb language. Bilingual students are better speakers, and better thinkers, for life. Check out this video on the benefits on learning in two languages the way FASRI students do each day.
