Team
A high quality
educational team
“All the class observations and interviews that followed demonstrated the quality of the teaching offered by FASN. This is confirmed by the way students behave in class: they are motivated, relaxed and active participants.
The teachers who accompany the students enrolled in the CNED do not just supervise the courses offered by the CNED, they offer real pedagogical support. In the sessions observed, they enrich the proposals of the CNED, they propose multi-media supports, create collaborative situations between students. This is the real added value of FASN’s educational organization.”

Other excerpts from the latest inspection report of FASN by the Mission Laïque Française, dated December 12, 2023 :
“In all the multi-level classes, the teachers have created a variety of spaces that create excellent working conditions, either independently or as part of teacher-led learning situations.
During interviews, teachers expressed their satisfaction at working with small groups, and their attachment to their pupils. They appreciate the attentiveness and support of their principal, who has made a major contribution to improve internal communication. The teaching team’s commitment is clear to see.”
