Nazarene Christian School is a private, non-profit Christian Preschool
We strive for a safe, secure learning environment in our preschool, and academic excellence and growth of the whole student in our elementary school.
At the same time, our primary purpose, as a ministry of Asheville First Church of the Nazarene, is to spread the gospel, or the good news the God loves us.
In all of our programs, we strive to provide a safe, quality environment where growth and learning can take place to their fullest, and where each child and adult is shown love and respect.
Our mission is to work with the home and the church to provide a strong foundation spiritually, academically and physically in a loving nurturing environment, in preparation for continued success as exemplary Christian citizens.

School Notes
- School Motto: 'Let the Church of the Nazarene be true to its commission; not great and elegant buildings; but to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and wipe away the tears of sorrowing, and gather jewels for His diadem.'
