Parents and Alumni Community

Congratulations Class of 2025 Graduates and DELF Recipients!  

One June 6, 2025 we celebrated our newest Alumni. Our 8th grade graduates were surrounded by loved ones, faculty and staff as they received their FISOP diplomas and DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) certificates.  We could not be more proud of our graduates and know that the FISOP experience will travel with them as they navigate through high school.

Félicitations !

 Alumni Evening of Reflection

Students, parents, current and retired faculty all gathered in delight to listen to an impressive group of alumni share how a French International education helped to prepare them for life beyond FISOP. Participants paid tribute to the French International School for:

  • The confidence they carry and ability to be their best selves and stay true to themselves.
  • Providing them with the academic rigor, discipline and organizational skills, enabling them to excel in a variety of learning environments and social settings.
  • A love of language that has helped them master French at AP levels and helped learning other languages, such as Spanish, Russian and Japanese come more easily.
  • Making it possible to pursue studies and careers with an International component.
  • The ability to foster meaningful friendships among diverse groups and nurturing those friendships beyond FISOP.
