Dear families,

Convinced that our role as teachers goes far beyond the simple transmission of academic knowledge. For me, being a teacher means having the immense responsibility of preparing today's children to become tomorrow's responsible, caring and dynamic adults.

I firmly believe that education must not only develop students' intellectual skills, but also cultivate their human values. I strive to encourage critical thinking, mutual respect and empathy in my classes, creating an inclusive and stimulating learning environment. My pedagogical approach is based on caring, creativity and commitment, aiming to inspire each student to reach his or her full potential.

Known for my positive energy and dedication, I'm proud to have made a significant impact on the lives of many children and families. I continue to develop my skills by attending educational conferences, ensuring that I stay abreast of best practices and pedagogical innovations.

Welcome, families! 

My name is Katie Bouldin, and I am excited to join The French School team.

Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Education Science. I taught in public elementary schools for five years, and I have worked in other educational environments as well. 

I love to read, and I hope to also inspire my students through reading. 

My family is still quite new to South Carolina, and we have greatly enjoyed exploring our new state. 

We love to travel and play with our two wonderful (and spoiled) dogs.

I look forward to working with the students and families of The French School!

Bonjour and Hello!!!!!

I am so honored to join the French School team as the K4-K5 teacher!

I received a BA in History from North Carolina State University and my Early Childhood Associates Degree from Wake Community College, both in Raleigh North Carolina.

I sincerely have a passion for educating the whole child, mind, body and spirit. I previously worked at Montessori Academy in Spartanburg, SC!

I understand and embrace the ability to tailor education to adapt to each child so that they can learn and grow in confidence.

I have three children, and four four legged children that keep me busy, but in my spare time you can find me watching or playing sports or in my kitchen cooking!

Dear Families,

My name is Brent and I teach Ukulele and Music Discovery at The French School.

I have been teaching and performing music for over 15 years. One of my favorites was a Jazz focused class for elementary students that I trained for at the prestigious Jazz At Lincoln Center in NYC. Over the years, I’ve played Broadway shows, in jazz combos, and everything in between.

When I’m not playing you will find me playing tennis, hiking, or finding another way to move and have fun! I believe movement is a foundational part of experiencing music for students and I’m excited to teach our students this year!
