Beyond Classes and Curriculum

There is so much more to school than learning facts and preparing for college and career. It is a place your children spend at least 1,000 hours each year—that is why what and how they are taught is so crucial to the people they will become.


Asheville Christian’s holistic Gospel-centered education is what sets us apart from other school options available to you. This focus means your children will be ready to live a life that honors God, know what it means to enjoy Him forever, and understand what it looks like to be redemptive people in a broken world. Here is how they are prepared for that:

Spiritual Formation Goes Beyond the Classroom

Your children will be taught God’s Word every day through biblical integration in all subjects, but their spiritual instruction will not stop there. These are some of the vital ways this happens:

  • Chapel and small groups. Your children will grow spiritually as they worship God and encourage each other to follow Him.

  • Serving others. Service is a vital way to get to know God’s heart for the world. Students learn to serve one another through clubs, honors societies, and student government. They also make a difference in the Asheville community and around the globe through opportunities like toy drives, supporting a school in Sudan, Winterim trips, and building homes with Habitat for Humanity.

  • Relationships. Whether it is their classroom teacher, their coach, or an office staff member, your children will develop relationships with godly role models that point them to Christ and the power of the gospel.

Teachers Shape Minds and Hearts

Asheville Christian’s teachers are our greatest asset—and yours too. Experienced, godly, and caring, they are committed to shepherding each student, from helping them uncover their gifts to taking the time to disciple and discipline.

Commitment to Community

You are not just enrolling your children in school; your entire family is joining the Asheville Christian community. Parents, teachers, leaders, and staff partner together to guide students in the Gospel and support each other as we make our children Ready for More. Our regular Parenting Together events bring the community together to learn and grow.

 “Asheville Christian uses the truth of the gospel not only to teach, but also to discipline students and help them navigate life. Together, we’re cultivating young people into confident, capable adults.”
