The Governor French Academy

The Governor French Academy 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. The foundation for success is an emphasis on traditional values of hard work and individual accomplishment. Our guidepost for the continued development of our curriculum is the question: What do colleges really want?
