Youngsville Academy is Franklin County's top college-preparatory school. Inspired by the motto 'esse quam videri', the Academy seeks to deliver lasting, lifelong results.
Students are encouraged to pursue greatness in their academics, extracurricular activities, and community involvement. Achieving lofty goals is made possible by providing a fundamentally different type of education than what is offered at other schools. Youngsville Academy is the area's only charter school that provides a non-common core curriculum. Instead, the school has opted for a curriculum with proven results. Youngsville Academy's curriculum immerses students in the academic traditions of Western Civilization, giving them tools to excel in all academic subjects. This approach develops lifelong learners and critical thinkers by focusing on teaching how to think, rather than what to think.
At Youngsville Academy, you'll find a thriving, active community of joyful learners. If you are interested in having your student pursue excellence, we encourage you to apply.
