Early life

François-Xavier Bellamy was born on 11 October 1985.[1][2]

Bellamy was educated at the Ecole Sainte-Marie des Bourdonnais, a private school in Versailles.[3] After two-years preparatory classes in the Lycée Henri-IV, he got into the Ecole normale supérieure, from which he graduated in 2005.[2] He earned the agrégation in philosophy in 2008.[2]

Career

Bellamy taught philophy at the Lycée Sainte-Geneviève and the Lycée Notre-Dame de Grandchamp in Versailles in 2008.[2] In 2009, he taught at the Lycée Auguste Renoir in Asnières-sur-Seine, the Lycée Louis Bascan in Rambouillet and the Lycée hôtelier in Guyancourt.[2] Since 2011, he has been teaching philosophy and art history for the preparatory classes at the Lycée Blomet in Paris.[2]

Bellamy is the author of three books. He won the Prix d'Aumale from the Académie française in 2014 for his first book, Les déshérités ou l'urgence de transmettre.[4] In this essay, he analyses the failure of French educational system as the result of an ideology that refuses the transmission of culture, thus creating disinherited. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, René Descartes and Pierre Bourdieu would be the utmost representatives of this ideology.

He is the deputy mayor of Versailles for employment, youth and higher education.[2] He was a candidate for the National Assembly elections in 2017, invested by The Republicans, but he lost in the second round against the candidate of En Marche!, with 48.9% vs 51.1% of the votes.[5]
