The Bostick Female Academy, also known as Triune School, is a property in College Grove, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Triune, a crossroads community named for its church. At one time it was quite a little educational center, including a Porter Female Academy that was destroyed in 1863 in the American Civil War, on whose board a Dr. Jonathan Bostick was a member. He bequeathed funds for the Bostick Female Academy, and the school was built in 1892.

It includes Late Victorian architecture. The listing was for an area of 2 acres (0.81 ha) with just one contributing building. The building operated as a private school until about 1900, then as a public school until 1957, and since has been used as a private home.
