Head of School's Message

Dear FAA Community,


This month, we celebrated the meaningful conclusion of our Spirit Run fundraiser with inspiring visits from Georgie Badiel and Anne Hoppenot. Through the perseverance of our students and the generosity of our families, we raised $21,473 to build wells and oases in Burkina Faso through the Georgie Badiel Foundation and to support two schools in Haiti through Konekte.


As the year draws to a close, our joyful Winter Shows, inspired by the themes of Magic and Dreams, invite us to rediscover our sense of wonder and cherish the present moment.
Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with joy and a New Year full of health and happiness!


Warm regards,

Anne-Sophie Gueguen,

Founder and Head of School

Celebrating Family Traditions in the Holiday Season 

Life in our international community flourishes when we celebrate and share each other's traditions. In Englewood, first and second-grade students created poster presentations to showcase their family traditions, fostering empathy, inclusion, and a festive spirit among classmates.

Supporting Global Causes: Founder Georgie Badiel and Co-Founder Anne Hoppenot Visit Our School

Our students embraced global connections by engaging with their peers in Burkina Faso. During a Zoom meeting with 4th and 5th grade students from Samora Machel in Ouagadougou, they discovered how the oasis funded by our previous efforts have become a lifeline—producing fresh fruits, vegetables, and providing access to water. This cross-cultural exchange deepened their understanding of the impact of their actions and highlighted the power of community-driven change. Students asked each other questions to compare the vast differences in their lives.
