Villa Francaise Des Jeunes (VFJ) is a french language secondary school located in Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada. The school shares a track field with the neighbouring Elliot Lake Secondary School (ELSS). The institution has seen a drastic drop in enrolment for many years, which has seen some students participating in video-conferencing classes with many other students from all over Northern Ontario.

The school's official colours are orange, black and white. Their sporting clubs go by the name The Elite.

The student population is one of the more technologically advanced in Northern Ontario. Each year students from grades 7 to 8 receive Palm Pilots for the duration of the school term, while students in grades 9 to 12 receive laptop computers.

"Le Survol" is the name of the school's yearbook.
