We’re also multilingual.

San Diego French-American School is now truly multilingual. The school proudly has now expanded its third-language Spanish acquisition program to all grades Toddlers–8. Students develop language skills and cultural competencies in a language spoken by nearly 500 million native speakers around the world.

On Wednesday, February 1, 2023, the Instituto Cervantes in LA and SDFAS signed an agreement making us the first official branch of the Instituto Cervantes in San Diego! SDFAS will soon be totally accredited to hold official Spanish language exams (the DELE) for our students and our community.
