French Broad River Academy is redefining middle school with an education that goes far beyond the classroom.

Students are challenged to become compassionate young leaders through a curriculum that combines outdoor adventure, service, international travel, and rigorous academics.

Admissions are already open for Fall 2026. RSVP to attend an Open House with your 5th, 6th, or 7th grader to explore Asheville’s riverside campuses and learn more about FBRA’s programs for boys and girls.
