Kehoe-France School

Kehoe-France is an independent, nondenominational, coeducational elementary day school serving students 8 weeks old through 7th grade.

In 1949 Pat Kehoe and Frank France were young educators with a dream to develop a non-sectarian coeducational elementary school that focused on the fundamentals of academics at the same time provide students with opportunities to engage in the arts and athletics. Kehoe-France School has long been recognized as a school that stands out not only for its academic and liberal arts curriculum, but also

for the importance we place on developing social skills and building character among our students. Our purpose is to develop the child intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and socially. It is in a child’s formative years that a love for learning develops, and Kehoe-France offers the opportunity to embrace and enjoy that adventure. Kehoe-France School is a family community committed to academic excellence. Through the close cooperation of parents, faculty and administration, we foster a nurturing environments, developing the individual potential and ability of each child. We encourage enthusiasm for learning, confidence in pursuing school tasks independently and respect for others while working cooperatively. These tools are what help prepare the Kehoe-France student for high school, college and life beyond. Our goal is to provide excellent academic programs in nurturing, yet challenging environments, while focusing on each child as a thinking and creative individual. The Kehoe-France program encourages balanced growth and motivates students in developing their individual sense of values, creative talents, reasoning and communication in an ever changing and challenging society. Our school is committed to attracting and maintaining an outstanding faculty of men and women, who are competent, enthusiastic and creative. Teachers work closely with the students and parents in a continuous effort to enhance communication between home and school. We at Kehoe-France are proud of our commitment to quality education in family- oriented environments and believe our motto God-Country-Discipline summarizes these beliefs.

Different decades. Different walk-out songs. A LOT of years of experience in these halls!

Turns out, you can measure teaching experience in years… or in how iconic your entrance song is. 🎤🔥

What an incredible 78th Summer Camp! ☀️💙

From swim lessons, STEAM, art, and ceramics to sports, tie-dye, obstacle courses, bounce houses, the rock wall, frog races, our Talent Show, and even a visit from Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries, every day was filled with adventure, laughter, and lifelong memories.

Our campers also enjoyed unforgettable camp traditions, including Pow Wows, Boating Safety Week, and the Dominic Yu Relay Races—with the Chippewas taking home the relay championship and earning the most points to win Pow Wow! 🏆

Thank you to all of our amazing camp families for sharing your children with us this summer. We loved every minute and are already counting down the days until we welcome everyone back for another unforgettable summer next year!

Today we are shining a spotlight on our incredible Kehoe-France Summer Camp pool staff!

Our lifeguards are all certified and do so much to keep a close watch over the pool each day. They work directly with campers during swim lessons, support water safety, and help make some of our favorite KF Camp traditions possible.

From the distance swim test and Down the River to Water/Boating Safety Week, swim races, judging station for the Dominic Yu relay race, and lending a hand wherever needed around camp, our pool staff plays an important role in creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for our campers.

We love our lifeguards and are so grateful for all they do!
