French Camp Academy is an interdenominational Christian boarding school for deserving young people founded in 1855. Long before public schools, a group of Scotch-Irish Christians established a school at French Camp on the Natchez Trace. Through God's grace and the support of dedicated Christians of all denominations, the school has continued without interruption for over 100 years. In 1950, French Camp Academy was reorganized and put under the ownership and operation of an incorporated Board of Trustees. It was also given a new purpose-to providing a Christian school-home for children with family problems not of their own making. By and large, French Camp Academy takes in young people who, for one reason or another, cannot or will not stay at home. On a beautiful 1,200-acre campus, French Camp Academy provides a stable home environment where children can know they are loved and accepted. FCA's educational program is fully accredited for grades 9-12, and has a non-sectarian Christian emphasis. The French Camp Mission Statement states: French Camp Academy strives to provide young people with the confronting, compassionate, non-compromising love of our Lord, Jesus Christ in a Christian School-Home; integrating faith and learning by encouraging everyone, as we work and worship together "to love God with all our hearts . . . and our neighbors as ourselves."
