French Broad River Academy vs. Carolina Day School

We offer two single-gender middle-school (grades 6-8) campuses, one for girls and one for boys. We prepare students for success in high school, college, and the increasingly competitive world beyond by combining a rigorous academic curriculum with relevant, purposeful learning experiences on the French Broad River, its surrounding watershed, and international field experiences.

In the classroom, on the athletic fields and within our special community of families, Carolina Day School fully engages your smart, curious child.

With a passion for learning and teaching, nationally trained in top developmental research and brain-based instruction, our exceptional faculty radiates an inspirational blend of compassion and high standards.

It's simple: bright, bold, curious, well-trained teachers and coaches lead by example and bring out the best in your child.

We are Asheville's only co-ed, independent day school for grades PreK3 through 12, and our Key School is a national leader in transforming students with language-based learning differences into high achievers and confident, capable learners.
