We are part of the larger school community at 441 Haywood Rd, which includes Asheville Preschool @ Asheville Primary, the main campus of the Asheville City Schools Preschool Program. Our multiage Preschool classes offer NC Pre-K, Head Start, and Tuition options for 3– and 4-year-olds. We’re also home to community-based programs such as Play and Learn and Verner Early Head Start.
We added Kindergarten in 2015 and 1st grade in 2016, in a pilot partnership with Hall Fletcher Elementary. In 2017 we launched our own elementary school: Asheville Primary School, a Montessori magnet school serving Pre-K-2nd grade. For 2018-2019, our current 2nd grade students will continue with us in 3rd grade.
Asheville Preschool has provided innovative Pre-Kindergarten for more than 20 years, with a focus on developmentally appropriate best practices for early learners, family partnerships, and equity of educational opportunity. We're thrilled to support the growth of Asheville City Schools' enrollment through our own growth to include a primary school. Moreover, we're passionate about rethinking early and elementary learning to meet the diverse needs of our students. As a staff, we're focused on building and tending a culture of continuous learning, resilience, and joy.
Join us as we continue to engage older learners with the strengths of our existing school community.
