The Academie Fas

About The Académie

We are a diverse bilingual community with the freedom and courage to question, learn, and grow with purpose.

Knowledge gives children the opportunity to make a difference.

Located in Charlotte, The Académie offers a French–American bilingual education rooted in the understanding that early language learning is one of the greatest gifts we can offer a child.

Research shows that young children learn languages naturally and effortlessly, building stronger cognitive skills, flexibility, and confidence when exposed to more than one language from an early age.

From Maternelle (Kindergarten), students are immersed in both French and English across all subject areas, developing true bilingual proficiency rather than simple language exposure.

Through small class sizes, native-speaking educators, and a carefully balanced program that integrates academics, culture, and character development, The Académie prepares students to think globally, communicate deeply, and thrive in an interconnected world.

Message from School Leadership

Every child deserves an education that is joyful, rigorous, and deeply human.

At The Académie, we believe children flourish when they are challenged academically, supported emotionally, and encouraged to grow in two languages. Our goal is to create a school experience that gives learning meaning and helps each student build confidence.
