They will be missed by staff and students alike. Thank you for your contributions to our school over the years! Merci beaucoup!
After three years as Education Coordinator, Genevieve Vincent has decided return to full-time teaching and offering her experience as a teacher trainer at FASRI in the fall. We thank her for her time and contributions as part of the management team and look forward to her work in-class in September.

Excellent communication and organization If you know someone who would be qualified for this position, please have them send a CV and references to headofschool@fasri.org.
Please stay tuned for more developments on this front as we approach the summer. |
