French-American School of New York

The French-American School of New York (also known as the Lycée Franco-Américain de New York or FASNY) is a bilingual, international private school located in the suburban Westchester County, New York. Since its founding in 1980, FASNY has evolved from a three teacher, 17-student nursery to a school on three campuses, educating more than 800 students per year. FASNY offers a bilingual and bicultural education to a population of local American families, French expatriates, French-American families, and international families with more than 50 nationalities. The school now offers classes from Nursery (3 years old) to 12th grade at various campuses in the villages of Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Scarsdale. FASNY is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools, the International Baccalaureate Organization, and the French Ministry of Education. 69% of the students are of French origin, 21% are American, and 10% come from all over the Francophone world and represent fifty nationalities.[1]

FASNY is working to establish a White Plains campus on the site of the former Ridgeway Country Club.[2]
