Why
In 2021, The French American School of Denver became Denver's first and only public French immersion elementary program. Fundraising helps us bridge the gap between the financial resources Denver Public School system provides and what is actually needed to implement our unique curriculum and ensure the success of our school.
FASD has identified a $100,000 fundraising goal to:
-
Expand, retain and better support our high caliber teaching staff and fund the necessary visas for teachers from France and other Francophone countries.
-
Secure more of our unique curriculum materials for our growing student body, which come directly from France
-
Support enrichment programs and collaborations with neighboring instituations like the Denver Zoo and Musuem of Nature and Science. We aspire to add a part time visual arts teacher and provide sustained exposure to the arts.
-
Expand our facility to support growth and enhance classroom technology.
-
Enhance professional development in language immersion techniques for all our staff.
event
Parent Volunteers and FASD staff are hard at work planning a spectacular event for our families and our supporters in the community at large. We invite supporters of tuition-free French immersion education in Denver to join us at this amazing event to help continue the legacy we are building at our blossoming school!
ENTERTAINMENT
