School Notes
Since our founding nearly 60 years ago, our community has
prepared students to navigate the world with confidence and
command, empathy and joy. We achieve this through rigorous
bilingual, French, and International Baccalaureate education
programs, and a vibrant school culture strengthened by
multilingual, multinational educators and families.
Our community includes French American International School
(Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8) and International High School
(Grade 9 through Grade 12).
At French American, our students experience a unique,
bilingual environment. By Grade 8, our students are fluent in
both French and English.
In Grade 9, our community expands to include incoming students
from across San Francisco and families from around the globe. Many
of these students are not bilingual, yet they all have a desire to
experience the world around them.
At International High School, students earn an internationally
recognized baccalaureate diploma in addition to a U.S. high
school degree. We prepare our students to go on to thrive at the
best universities, anywhere in the world.
