I left EFAM in June 2018. I really liked PE and I loved history in 4th and 5th grades. I also really liked 3rd grade. After EFAM, I went to Carver for 3 years then I spent 2 years at Coral Reef. I have been in Coral Gables in 11th grade since August 2023. EFAM gave me a very good level of French, lots of friends and memories. It was really my childhood.
In the future, I probably want to take business classes at the University of Florida (FSU).
“Our adventure with EFAM began in 2008. Augustin entered CP without speaking English, and his sister Agathe joined PS without speaking English either. Their little sister joined the school in 2014 already bilingual. 2021 marks the end of 13 years of collaboration with EFAM. All three had an exceptional education within EFAM. All the actors of the school, teachers, assistants, administrators, staff provided the children with the tools and methods, a personalized support possible thanks to the small numbers, an excellent academic level, a development of their personality, an openness towards the art as well as a precious autonomy for their passage in the American system (also bilingual at the request of the children). EFAM enables students to learn about and experience French culture. Children receive more than excellent academic education, they emerge bilingual and bicultural, individuals open to the world and its differences. We are proud to have been part of the EFAM family for these 13 years. Thanks everyone.”

“We do not forget the beautiful years spent in Miami. Pierre is a 2nd year student in Political Science and History at Mc Gill in Montreal. Agathe in 12th grade should follow the same path and just passed the Bocconi exam in Milan. Louis is in 10th grade and Rose is in 7th. All went through the Notre-Dame Institute in Saint-Germain en Laye, in the English bilingual cycle. Of course, we keep a lot of contacts with friends from Miami, returned to France or stayed there. All of this thanks to you! We are very grateful.”

“We are thrilled that Maya could experience full-time French education and become fluent from a young age, and in such a charming environment. Being bilingual and bicultural is increasingly more important, and will help her in her future education and career.”

"The French American School of Miami is by far the best option if you want your kids to be educated as if they lived in France. They will become open minded, well rounded, and incredibly fluent in French. In 4th and 5th grade, they go through stuff American school only address during high school. My two kids (16 and 18) are what they thanks to Lena and her school."
"My son just finished the first year at the French American School and we can't say enough wonderful things about the caring staff and his absolutely fabulous teachers!! My son entered school in August at three years old and did not speak a word of French. Ten months later, he is fluent! And neither my husband or I speak more than a few words in French. Through out the school year, the class went on several interesting field trips including the zoo, Pinecrest Gardens, a clay studio and a tour of Publix! My son thrived in this school and absolutely adores his teacher and the new friends he has made."
"The French American School of Miami is a wonderful school. The warm and caring environment fosters learning. The classes are small and the school feel like a family. Both my sons started without knowing a word of French and are both now fluent although we don't speak French at home. It really is one of the best kept secrets in Miami. I can't recommend it highly enough."
"This school is absolutely wonderful. The teachers are European and administration really holds true to the French way. If you'd like your children to speak fluent French and be taught to view the world comme un francais, I can't recommend this place enough. Our son was treated very well by loving teachers and the only reason we had to leave was because we moved."
"Best kept secret in Miami... love this school. My daughter has been attending for two years and it is amazing."
