The Two Rivers Story:

The story of public Montessori in Asheville began in 2017 with a small school in the heart of West Asheville. Over five years of operations, the children grew into confident, independent learners and problem solvers. The staff honed a respectful approach with the students and the families and built a welcoming and close-knit community. When the school was closed due to district budgetary concerns, the families and teachers rallied together to develop the potential for a new school that expands the opportunities for an accessible, public Montessori education for all children in Asheville.
