Meet Henry
Henry Charles Mulzac III is more than an educator—he’s a catalyst for change. With over 17 years of experience, Henry has dedicated his career to creating environments where students don’t just learn but thrive. His approach is rooted in the belief that education is the ultimate tool for growth, perseverance, and progress—a philosophy inspired by Frederick Douglass’s enduring words: “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”
Henry’s journey began in college when a transformative trip along the Dalmatian coast opened his eyes to the power of education in post-war societies like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. It was there that he realized that educators don’t just teach—they build bridges of understanding, tolerance, and harmony.
Education & Experience
Henry honed his craft for ten years at The Potomac School in McLean, Virginia. As a history teacher, advisor, coach, and eventually Associate Director of Admissions, he gained a deep understanding of what it takes to nurture students both inside and outside the classroom. His work at Sidwell Friends School during the COVID-19 pandemic further showcased his ability to adapt and innovate, ensuring students in grades 5-12 continued to receive engaging and impactful instruction—whether in person or remotely.
In 2018, Henry founded Henry Charles Consulting to help families navigate the complex world of private school admissions. Drawing on his firsthand experience as an enrollment committee member, he has guided countless families to schools that align with their values and aspirations. His collaborative, student-centered approach has earned him the trust of some of the nation’s top independent schools.
Henry holds a master’s degree from Georgetown University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland. He is an active member of leading educational organizations, including the Association of Independent School Admission Professionals (AISAP), the People of Color Conference (POCC), and the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
