The French American School of the Puget Sound (FASPS) is a bilingual school located on Mercer Island. The students have instruction in both English and French. Though, for many, French and English are not their only languages. The students are surrounded by an extremely diverse group of peers from all around the globe. Jack Straw began working with 1st grade students at FASPS in the 2022-23 school year.
