French-American School of New York

French-American School of New York is a day school in Mamaroneck, New York, serving 700–1,000 students from pre-school through high school. The school integrates French, American, and international curricula into one academic program, allowing students to become fluent in both languages while building cross-cultural literacy. This tri-curricular structure sits at the heart of what makes the school distinctive and shapes every faculty hire.

Teaching here demands bicultural fluency. Unlike schools where French is a department, language here is a medium of instruction across disciplines. A history teacher presents units in English and French; a science instructor collaborates with language colleagues on technical vocabulary in both tongues. This integration rewards educators who embrace pedagogical complexity and are genuinely curious about how language shapes thinking across subjects.

The school sits in a prosperous commuter region with stable enrollment and strong financial footing. It hires year-round for sciences, mathematics, humanities, languages, elementary generalists, and administrative roles. Most openings cluster before the academic year, though mid-year departures occur regularly in schools this size.

The student body is genuinely international, with many families rooted in Francophone countries. For educators seeking a rigorous independent day school where language and cultural identity are central—not peripheral—this environment offers meaningful work. You are not teaching French as a skill add-on; you are building curriculum where bilingualism is the foundation of learning.
