As part of our community centered mission, and with the partnership of our Parent–Faculty Association, we are able to offer a broad spectrum of events each year, celebrating and sharing our wide array of nationalities, cultures, and traditions, including all-school picnics, holiday celebrations and fairs, International Day, and so much more!
Here are just a few of our annual events.
Our back to school BBQ is an all-community event sponsored by ASP and the PFA. It is an afternoon filled with food, fun, music, and games! So come catch-up with old friends and make new ones. Sports teams, clubs, and grade representatives will all be on hand to greet you and introduce themselves.
Are you new to Paris? Don't worry, we are here to help you learn how to navigate French life! These seminars will help you learn how to shop, navigate the metro, drive, learn more about the medical system, and so much more. It is also a great way to meet other new families. These seminars take place at the beginning of the school year and again in January or February.
Lower School students may trick or treat in the safe and enclosed area of the ASP parking lot as car trunks are decorated and families gather and enjoy the Halloween spirit. It is a real treat to see so many in costume and such creatively decorated trunks-and lots of candy!
For over 20 years, thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Steven Barclay '77, we have been able to showcase some of the literary world's best-known authors. Each March, this evening reception at an exclusive location in Paris is one of ASP's premiere community events and a highlight of the school calendar.
Each spring, the American School of Paris celebrates its incredible diversity through International Day, a fun-filled showcase of food, music, crafts, and games from around the world, especially from the countries represented in the ASP community. Taste your way around the world and experience food and beverages from over 20 countries. It's the perfect moment for students, parents and faculty members to come together and celebrate our international community. What is more, kids can enjoy the inflatable games!
