Why are more Ashevillians switching to independent schools? Attendees at Carolina Day School’s Open House events last week found out for themselves — but, in case you missed class, here’s a copy of our notes. ✍️

Carolina Day School offers a unique learning experience through:

  • Innovative teaching approaches
  • High academic standards
  • Whole-child, mission-driven education
  • Small class sizes with excellent teachers
  • Involved community of parents

The school also fosters diverse + vibrant student bodies. Think: inclusiveness + a variety of extracurricular activities.
