This month, three exciting initiatives showcase how we nurture well-rounded development: Math Week and the Albertine Prize are strengthening academic skills, while field trips are fostering independence, social-emotional growth, and real-world learning. These experiences allow students to apply their knowledge, think critically, adapt, and collaborateβ€”all essential skills for their future.

Head of School's Message

Dear FAA Community,


As the days grow longer and the air fills with renewed energy, spring invites us to embrace exploration, curiosity, and hands-on learning. This season is not just a time for nature to bloomβ€”it’s a time for our students to flourish, discover, and connect with the world beyond the classroom.


This month, three exciting initiatives showcase how we nurture well-rounded development: Math Week and the Albertine Prize are strengthening academic skills, while field trips are fostering independence, social-emotional growth, and real-world learning. These experiences allow students to apply their knowledge, think critically, adapt, and collaborateβ€”all essential skills for their future.


With Spring Break approaching, many of us are thinking about activities and camps for our children. It’s also a great moment to reflect on how technology fits into their daily lives. We invite you to join us for our online screening of the documentary Screenagers: Growing Up in a Digital Age on April 15β€”a valuable opportunity to explore insights and strategies for managing screen time in today’s world.


Let’s make this season a time of meaningful learning experiences and growthβ€”for our students and for us as a community!


Warm regards,

Anne-Sophie Gueguen

Head of School & Founder
