Pre-K To Open October 15

Bonjour! Sometimes the news is just too big to wait for the weekly News de Nous – this is one of those times. We are very excited to announce that Pinellas County has given us the green light to open our Pre-K for ages 3 & 4 beginning Monday, October 15! The inspectors were very impressed, both inside and out, and now we can’t wait to welcome some new members to our FASTB family!

If you, or someone you know, are interested in enrolling, please contact us at 727-800-2159 or admission@fastb.org to set up a meeting and tour. We have also included information on applying and enrolling below.

We look forward to speaking with you soon – have a great week! Merci!

Meet The Founders

The French American School of Tampa Bay, (FASTB), founded in February 2017 by Elizabeth and Willy LeBihan, offers a unique immersion school experience to students from Early Childhood through grade 12.

Inspired by their successful creation of L’Ecole Française du Maine: The French School of Maine 17 years ago, the Founders decided to put their experience and devotion for education to work in the Tampa Bay area they have grown to know and love.
