The Governor French Academy is a coeducational college-preparatory school for PreK through Grade 12.

Since its inception in 1983, The Governor French Academy has developed its curriculum with a focus on its mission: successful preparation for college. Our goal is for students to be successful competitors in a global economy. Our curriculum is centered on basic skills of reading, writing, mathematics, science, social sciences and world languages at all grade levels from preschool through grade 12.

There is still time to sign up for the Summer Intergenerational Orchestra. It is a great way to keep student musicians playing over the summer or an opportunity to dust off those instruments if you have not played in a while! Two years of experience recommended. Rehearsals start June 1st. To register, go to https://bellevillephilharmonic.org/intergenerational-orchestra/

It's hard to believe that our school year is over. It seems like it was just August. Hats off to our faculty and staff for a wonderful year. CONGRATULATIONS to our small but mighty upper school Class of 2026! We wish you the best as you venture off to college. Class of 2026, there are more of you, but can you keep up with these two outstanding Lionhearts?
