Frank Anthony Public School (or FAPS) is a co-educational day-school, for students of age 4–18 years, in central Bangalore, India. It was founded by the Anglo-Indian educationist and barrister-at-law, Frank Anthony, in 1967.

The school officially opened on the 9th of January, 1967, being the third of the three Frank Anthony Public Schools in India. It is established, owned and administered by the All-India Anglo-Indian Education Institution, New Delhi, registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It is affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations .

The school is divided into the Nursery Section, the Junior Section and the Senior Section. Each class has three sections in the Junior section, and four in the senior section. Students of classes 11 and 12 are divided into three sections:

The student count from Nursery to the Class XII is above 2000.

There are two academic terms in the year:

The second term is split into half by two and a half weeks of Christmas vacation. Summer vacation lasts from early April till late May, during the warmest part of the year in Southern India. There is a week off for Dasara, around late September or early October.

The House system is a feature common to Public Schools in India (based on an equivalent system in England). FAPS has four houses, named after eminent members of the Anglo-Indians and benefactors of the school.

Each house is led by two House Captains (a boys and a girl), two Vice-Captains (a boy and a girl), and a body of prefects, selected from among the students of Class XII.

Corbett House

D'mello House

Gidney House

Rodrigues House

The houses compete in inter-house activities, including sports (such as cricket, basketball, football, volleyball, and throwball), athletics, quizzes, debates, and elocution competitions.
