French Camp Academy

Description

French Camp Academy is an interdenominational Christian boarding school. Striving to feel more like a home away from and push toward academic excellence, French Camp Academy accepts students from first through twelfth grades who are interested in a fresh start in life.

History

In 1885 a group of Scotch-Irish Christians established a school for girls at French Camp. These Presbyterian missionaries named it The Central Mississippi Institute for Girls. Because of its success, French Camp Academy for boys was started later that year. In 1915, fire destroyed the girls institute, and the schools were combined under the name French Camp Academy.

A major change took place in 1950 when French Camp Academy was reorganized under the direction of an interdenominational Board of Trustees. Since that time, FCA has grown to accommodate up to 170 boarding students and provide families in the nearby communities with a quality Christ-centered education and atmosphere.
