French American School of Tampa Bay
The French American School of Tampa Bay offers a multicultural educational experience through French immersion from Early Childhood through grade 6, instilling in our students a constant curiosity towards foreign languages and the world’s diverse cultures. The multicultural approach at FASTB allows students to benefit from French and American education systems, combining the approaches of two different and complementary educational methods. The education is further enhanced by exposure to both cultures.
The school’s vision is centered on the fascinating relationship between music and art education and the immersion process of learning a second language. Though the national trend is to reduce these education components, they believe a rich music and art curriculum lays the foundation for strong mathematical and scientific intelligence. All grade levels will be immersed in music and art programs, including Music Theory, the Choral Program, Music & Me, and an opportunity for private Suzuki instrumental lessons.
They believe that it is through play, actions, and the search for independence that each child discovers their unique path to learning and obtains the necessary tools for development. The children are encouraged to express themselves freely in French and through various art forms, helping them boost their confidence and their knowledge. Through this commitment to language and culture, they can provide a diverse, mind-opening educational experience in an atmosphere of understanding and discovery.
