About the Business

Governor French Academy is a coeducational college-preparatory school located at 219 West Main Street in Belleville, Illinois. Our institution caters to students from Kindergarten Preparatory through grade 12, with a strong focus on preparing them for success in college and beyond. Our curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education, emphasizing basic skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, social sciences, and world languages.
At Governor French Academy, we believe in instilling traditional values of hard work and individual accomplishment in our students. Our curriculum is inspired by the Core Knowledge Curriculum, developed by E.D. Hirsch and the Core Knowledge Foundation, which focuses on providing a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. It is important to note that Core Knowledge is distinct from Common Core, and we are committed to providing a curriculum that makes sense and prepares our students for the challenges of a global economy.
As John Milton once said, "I will point ye out the right path of a virtuous and noble Education; laborious at first ascent, but else so smooth, so green, so full of goodly prospect, and melodious sounds on every side, that the harp of Orpheus was not more charming." At Governor French Academy, we strive to create an educational environment that is challenging yet rewarding, preparing our students to excel in all aspects of their lives.
Reviews
"I attended Governor French Academy from 6th grade through graduation. In my opinion it is an amazing school. The amount of knowledge, skill and charisma that I gained by attending Governor French is insurmountable. I also loved it because it always felt like home. So much so that now, 11 years after graduation I commute 40 minutes and across state lines to bring my daughter. She has loved it since day 1."
"GFA gives its students the opportunity to perform academically at the highest levels. Although it is a small school it has a great deal of flexibility and each student abilities are well known to faculty and staff. It's size provides an intimacy that is lost in bigger institutions. My daughter would never been allow to study Economics, Comparative Politics and European History at the public school. She would have never been in one Shakespeare's play much less four of Shakespeare's play. From drama and science fairs to an excellence mathematics curriculum, GFA fulfills it's mission statement."
"Governor French Academy is a great school. I would first say "Don't judge a book by its cover." Governor French Academy has a different kind of look and feel then public schools, but don't let that deceive you. My children are way ahead of what their friends in the public school system are doing. The teachers are committed, friendly and driven to help your children get the education they deserve. I would suggest trying them out for a day a learn what its all about."
"At Governor French Academy your students get a very personalized education. My kids studied a few subjects intensely to learn all they could. It is a different education than you are going to get from any other school. The one on one attention and care from the teachers is more than you are going to get at any public school. It is an exceptional place to send your kids for an education."
"Our responsibility as parents includes providing the best educational opportunity that our situation affords. We selected Governor French Academy as this best opportunity. In our opinion, GFA is one of the best schools in the country because their mission is ensuring children are not only prepared for collegiate education, but that they actually complete it. The diverse staff and student population are a better reflection of what the world actually looks like, than other schools in the Belleville area. Student test scores are among the best in the state. Finally, our son loves going to school, everyday (not to mention he is understanding and speaking Chinese, in the first grade)! It's a WIN-WIN situation!!!"
