==History==
The school established its bylaws on January 22, 1991, and it opened in September of that year.〔"(About Us )" ((Archive )). French International School of Philadelphia. Retrieved on May 14, 2014.〕 At the time the school was established, the French expatriate population of Philadelphia was increasing. At the time, 47 French companies had operations in the Philadelphia area. The Philadelphia honorary consul for France, Stanhope S. Browne, and the general consul of France, Jean-Yves Defay, stated that they estimated that between 5,000 to 6,000 French people lived in the Philadelphia area. In addition some American families had concerns about education in American schools. The French expats worked with locals for five months to have the school established.〔Woodall, Martha. "(Enfin! Phila. Area To Get French School )." ''Philadelphia Inquirer''. March 25, 1991. Retrieved on May 14, 2014.〕
Originally the school occupied a leased second floor wing of the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr. There were 13 students, with the oldest at 7 years and the youngest at 2 1/2 years. Because younger children can more easily learn languages, the school initially opened with only the ''maternelle'' grades. The school's principal, Josette J. Smith, stated in 1991 that "A private-school education in France is probably much more conservative than education in public schools. And our school is a private school, but it is modeled on public education in France."〔Woodall, Martha. "(Rigorous Study Is De Rigueur )." ''Philadelphia Inquirer''. September 16, 1991. Retrieved on May 15, 2014.〕
The school planned to add the third grade in September 1992.〔Hellberg, Joyce Vottima. "(Sparking A Flair For French )." ''Philadelphia Inquirer''. June 4, 1992. Retrieved on May 15, 2014.〕 Because the first facility was unable to give more space, the school moved into a facility of the Shipley School, the just-vacated Beechwood house, in 1993.〔
