We became an associate member of WECAN in 2017 and of AWSNA in 2018. Our organization features a cohesive and dedicated faculty, a solid board of directors, a committed administration, and a loving and involved community of parents and families.

About Asheville, North Carolina:

Asheville is an ideal place to live, renowned for its beautiful outdoors, surrounded by three mountainous National Forests, and its vibrant arts, crafts, and music culture. The city offers numerous restaurants and microbreweries, making it a popular tourist destination. Local, sustainable agriculture is prevalent, supporting seventeen farmers’ markets for fewer than 100,000 residents. If you enjoy eating local, organic food, participating in community music events, and engaging with art, Asheville is a wonderful place to be.
