About GFA: Warning to Parents

This school may not match your expectations...

Governor French Academy is a college preparatory school. To borrow from an old automobile advertisement, Governor French is not your father's college preparatory school - unless, of course, your father attended Governor French.

When you see the young men and women in their crested blazers, you may get the impression that we are a prestigious, ivy-league sort of institution. If your definition of prestigious means lots of fancy cars in the student parking lot, then we're not prestigious. If your definition of prestigious means an individually designed academic program to match the maximum talents of your child, then Governor French is prestigious. If your definition of prestigious means your child being fully prepared for college, then Governor French is prestigious.

When you enter the Governor French campus, what you see and experience is unlike any other school. We've heard the following words used to describe our school: unique, different, unusual, unconventional, funky, bohemian. We've been told that our classic blazers are in stark contrast to the creative qualities that attract - and keep - children and families at Governor French.

So don't be surprised when you walk through our doors that you see a safe and secure, rigorous yet unconventional academic and social environment. At Governor French, it's not about marble and mahogany. It's about personalized education and your child.

... We may very well exceed them!
