One of the best ways for families to learn about Asheville Christian is to experience our campus in person. If you know a family exploring Christian education, we would love for you to invite them to one of our upcoming Open Houses.

Guests will tour campus, meet teachers and administrators, and learn more about our mission and admissions process.

Upcoming Open Houses:

Wednesday, February 25 | 9-11am

Thank you for helping us share Asheville Christian with others in our community.

We are excited to introduce The ACA Podcast: Stories Rooted in Faith, a new podcast sharing how God is at work in the lives of our ACA families, students, and staff. Each episode will highlight real stories from our community—testimonies of faith, growth, and God’s faithfulness.

This podcast is an opportunity to celebrate what God has done and continues to do through ACA. Be on the lookout for more details and our first episode coming soon!

We are grateful to share that, thanks to your generosity, we have raised $390,000 to date through gifts, pledges, and the matching fund contribution. This brings us to 96% of our $406,000 goal—just $16,000 away from completion.

If you are able, please consider making a gift or pledge to help us cross the finish line. All gifts must be received by June 30, 2026.

Thank you for your faithful support and continued commitment to ACA.

Keep Calm, and Carry On Parenting

Parenting and life can easily push our emotional buttons. In this encouraging and practical workshop, Rachel Henry will help parents understand how emotions like worry, anger, and grief affect both adults and children. Drawing from biblical wisdom and neuroscience, this session explores how God designed our brains to respond to stress and how those responses can sometimes misfire in everyday life.

Parents will learn simple, effective tools to calm emotional reactions, regulate responses, and parent with greater peace and intention. Through practical techniques such as breathing exercises, grounding strategies, creative activities, and conflict resolution skills, you’ll walk away equipped to foster calmer communication and healthier emotional regulation in your home.

As we navigate snowy weather, we want to keep our families well informed. Please take a moment to refresh yourself on ACA’s process and general guidelines for school delays and closings to help ensure you receive timely and accurate information when weather impacts our schedule.

We’re excited to introduce Worship Wednesdays—a monthly opportunity for parents to join our faculty and staff in corporate worship. We will gather on the third Wednesday of each month to pause amid our busy schedules, lift our voices in praise, and center our hearts on Christ together as one school family.

While we treasure social time, this particular gathering is set aside for worship with our focus on Christ alone. After worship concludes, please exit through the Lower School doors.

Students are welcome to attend but must sit with their parents; afterward, parents may walk their children to class.

Upcoming Worship Wednesday Dates from 7:30-7:45am:
