OUR MISSION

French School of Austin was founded by a family of educators upon principles of multilingualism, multiculturalism, academic excellence, and exclusivity. Our mission is to foster respect, integrity, and self-discovery in a compassionate, multicultural, and small environment.

The school is a learning community that ensures high academic achievement for all students in both French and English, develops leadership, and values other cultures, systems, and practices. Through our rigorous academic curriculum, music, performing arts, and our celebration of diverse cultures, our students learn the skills and values they need to become influential participants in their communities.
