The school now offers classes from Nursery (3 years old) to 12th grade at various campuses in the villages of Larchmont, Mamaroneck and Scarsdale. FASNY is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools, the International Baccalaureate Organization, and the French Ministry of Education. 69% of the students are of French origin, 21% are American, and 10% come from all over the Francophone world and represent fifty nationalities.^[1]
