SDFAS, the San Diego French-American School, intertwines French and American education to create a bilingual symbiosis that enriches both the individual and the community. With a curriculum starting as early as 18 months and spanning all the way through 8th grade, our bilingual education program offers a unique opportunity to broaden global perspectives. In our Pre-Elementary and Preschool years, young learners are immersed in the French language.

Through art projects and creative activities, students develop personal and social skills, problem-solving abilities, and fine motor skills that encourage creativity and imagination. The Elementary School years build upon this foundation, combining the requirements of the French Ministry of Education and the California State Department of Education. Our students develop critical and creative thinking skills and broaden their global perspective.

The Middle School program prepares students to thrive in French lycées, American high schools, or international schools preparing for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. In addition to academic rigor, our Middle Schoolers learn independence, emotional coping skills, and engage in community service. At SDFAS, we believe in instilling global perspectives in young learners.

Our diverse international community of students, parents, teachers, and administrators work together to develop confident, worldly individuals who can articulate their ideas, express emotions, and support each other on their educational journey. Our unique campus, located in beautiful La Jolla atop Mount Soledad, provides a safe and spacious environment for students from 18 months old to 8th grade. With multiple playgrounds, an athletic field, a library, STEAM classrooms, a science lab, and more, our students have the resources they need to thrive.
