A Journey of Excellence

Whether in the classroom, on stage, or on the athletic fields, our students are fully engaged. With a passion for learning and teaching, our exceptional teachers demonstrate 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, secular day school for grades PK3–12, and our Key School is a national leader in transforming students with language-based learning differences into high achievers and confident, capable learners. Discover what lies in store for your child at Carolina Day School in Asheville, North Carolina.

“At Carolina Day, we prepare our students for an ambitious, purpose-driven life, well past their time here on campus—for a future world with jobs, careers, and challenges that are being developed even as they learn.”
