Growing up in Charlotte, Silas Farley always dreamed of dancing with the New York City Ballet.
The youngest of seven, Silas was homeschooled with the rest of his siblings until it became too difficult for his parents to manage. Fortunately, the Farleys learned about CSF-Charlotte, which awarded all of their children scholarships so they were able to enroll at local private schools, including Charlotte Christian School where Silas excelled in both academics and athletics. In fact, all of the Farley children thrived at their respective schools and several earned athletic scholarships to college, including Matthias, now a safety for the Tennessee Titans.
