Located in the scenic foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina, our school serves students in grades Pre-K-5. Our mission is to provide a total learning environment to enable students to achieve academic and life skills. We are an A+ School ; one of NC's original 25 schools selected to receive a grant from the Keanan Institute to integrate Arts instruction with the curriculum, based on Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
