My son is attending FAISBR, and he is so happy to be a part of this great school. He loves his teachers and directors are very attentive, and we are very happy with our school choice .

The French American International School is a five star school. It is a rare gem amongst the private school in the area. It is an amazing bilingual (French/English) school that offers a great academic program in a friendly environment. My children have been attending for the last three and I can only recommend the school.

Great school! The staff is amazing.

Cozy and loving school with involved families, hands-on administrators, and dedicated, creative teachers. The progress my daughter has made in French over a year and a half is remarkable, but her development isn't limited to French. She's made progress in reading and writing English, in math and science, in her motor skills, and in her social development.

This is a fantastic little school that is bi-lingual and very International. The class size is small which gives every opportunity for individual attention. The directors are very passionate and do a great job in listening to parents and students concerns.

I am a fan of this school. Bilinguals means success in life. I have known the school since its inception. Children are happy. Quality of teaching and programs are top. The teachers are passionate about their job. As a bilingual French/English and French teacher, I would recommend the school with no reservation.

Great little school with a big program! The kids are taught all their school subjects in both languages French and English. It is truly a bilingual immersion school and the only one in all of Palm Beach! This year the school has added the IB (International Baccalaureate) program to the curriculum in both English and French sections. Plus there is tennis, art, music (piano lessons), and Spanish included . And clubs like Karate and study-hall during after school program.

We are French people from Quebec, Canada. We were in Florida this winter and our 8 year old daughter went to FAISBR. What a great experience it was. It's an excellent school with exceptional teachers. She even had the chance to learn Italian over there. She definitely wants to return next year.
We highly recommend this school!

Attended the Open House. Great school with lots of bright and comfortable classrooms. For a new school, I was nicely surprised with the establishment and resources. There's even a music room and rec. room for rainy recess days! Also, the teachers are passionate and have worked in other French/American schools. The student/teacher ratio is really good (about 14 a class). And they have a great big auditorium for their school shows and ceremonies. So happy to have an international school in our area at last. My daughter already speaks Spanish and i'm sure will do great in French with this full immersion curriculum.
