Sol and Son

Описание: Education is shaping the future of our communities, and in this Vignette Realty community spotlight, we sit down with Kelsey Parish, founder of Sol and Sun Dual Language Academy in Franklin, North Carolina. Learn how this innovative dual language immersion school is helping children become bilingual, culturally aware, and academically prepared for the future.

Founded in 2025, Sol and Sun Dual Language Academy provides early childhood and elementary education through Spanish immersion, where students learn core academic subjects in Spanish while gradually developing English proficiency. Research shows bilingual education enhances cognitive development, academic performance, and long-term career opportunities, and this unique program is bringing those benefits to families right here in Franklin, NC.

In this interview, Kelsey shares how her experience teaching abroad inspired the school's creation, how dual-language immersion works, what parents are noticing in their children, and her vision for expanding the academy over the coming years. You’ll also learn about upcoming open house opportunities, student sponsorship programs, and ways local businesses and community members can support educational growth in Macon County.

At Vignette Realty, we believe strong communities are built through strong schools, local partnerships, and meaningful opportunities for families. Our community spotlight series highlights the people, organizations, and initiatives that make Franklin, North Carolina, such a special place to live.
