About the Provider

Advertisement
Asheville Catholic School is a private, inter-parochial elementary and middle school committed to academic excellence and spiritual development. We welcome families from all religious, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds into our school community. We ascribe to three core values:
Faith

Faith is more than a religion class. It is an ever-present and necessary part of our curriculum. Through daily prayer, Mass and religious education, we enhance students’ learning and growth.
Learning

Lifelong learning is our goal. Only through commitment to continuous improvement are we able to assist students in becoming confident, self-directed, lifelong learners. Each student has God-given gifts, and it is our responsibility to provide a variety of instructional approaches to support individual learning.
Community

Community is our foundation. Integrity, leadership, and respect for one another are the core elements of the behavior we expect. All members of our faith community – parents, teachers, and administrators – share in the responsibility of developing each student’s potential and of promoting the mission of our school.

We strive to educate the whole child: intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, artistically, and physically. See how we make a difference!

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
