I love the French American School of Puget Sound. I came in as a sixth grader speaking nothing but…read moreFrench thinking I would not be able to adapt due to the language barrier. I was wrong. I found that the students, who all started at different levels of French, were all at an excellent level. Perhaps what makes FASPS so great is its bilingual education. The preschool is set up to be an immersion into the french language but progressively, the amount of english increases so that the middle schoolers reach the equal use of both languages. In the middle school, the French and English are both taught according to their curriculum in their respective languages. History and Math are taught separately in different languages, offering a wide range of knowledge because of the difference in material. The Spanish and Mandarin Chinese programs at FASPS are also incredible. There are after-school program in the elementary and classes in the middle school. I allows students to move up to a Spanish IV and Chinese III levels during their freshman year of high school, putting them at the top of their class. FASPS helped me get into the top private schools in the Seattle area, taught me English and made me part of a loving, tight community.

Knowing that he is safe, loved, and happy when I leave is everything.

I really wanted to feel like the cost of this preschool was reflected in the overall experience,…read morebut unfortunately I didn't. There are caring teachers here who genuinely want the best for the children, but there seemed to be a noticeable disconnect between teachers and leadership. Staff turnover was concerning, and at times the environment felt very rigid and top-down. It was also difficult to see visible investment in the building itself without seeing that same level of investment reflected in teacher support, classroom materials, food, or the children's daily experience. For the tuition families pay, I expected healthier and more varied meals, more regularly refreshed classroom materials, warmer and more engaging classroom spaces, and better outdoor opportunities. I also expected more from a school that presents itself as Christian. To me, those values should be reflected not only in the curriculum, but in how teachers are treated, supported, and valued. At times, the focus seemed much more centered on the business and financial side of the center than on building a strong, supportive early learning community. There are good educators here. I just wish the program invested more in the people, resources, and experiences that directly impact the children

My daughter (2) has blossomed socially and we have already built some lifelong friendships with other families from our class.

We really enjoy going here, and I signed up his younger -1yo- sibling in the baby class as soon as enrollment started. What I appreciate most is the great teachers who keep the focus on (learning through) play, and not on traditional academics. There's plenty of time for that later on. On the other hand, I really like the structured nature of the classes, as kids and parents always know what's coming up next. We've met some lovely families through KM, and I'm looking forward to many more years of fun and friends.
