Charlie French’s Biography

I began a career in education in 1999 after a 6-year stay in corporate America. I taught 15 years in both public and private schools, and have been in school administration since 2013. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Belmont Abbey College and my Master’s in School Administration and Executive Leadership from Gardner-Webb University.

I have had the honor of founding a charter school in South Carolina, assisting several charters through their start-up process in multiple states, write and evaluate charters for new schools, and now serve here at APA. I have been married since 1996. I have been a mother since 2004. I feel so blessed to do what I love each day as the school director of Aristotle Preparatory Academy: A Challenge Foundation Academy. These children are so special to me and I am extremely proud to be a KNIGHT!
