About Kelsey

Kelsey is originally from Franklin, NC. She has her BA in K–12 Spanish Education, which she received from WCU after studying abroad at the Universidad de Cantabria, Spain. She has experience teaching as an English teacher in a Christian bilingual school in the Dominican Republic, as well as years teaching ESL and Spanish as a World Language.

Before Sol & Son, Kelsey taught at Highlands School — where she and David met — and later left the school system to stay home and homeschool her boys. Her background in dual language and bilingual education led her to dream of her children being in a bilingual school, and Macon County had no resources for young children at the peak of their language-learning abilities.

So in 2025, she and David founded Sol & Son — the first Christian bilingual microschool in Macon County. As Director and Bridging Teacher, Kelsey guides both the school's vision and its daily classroom life.
