The tutoring and the advice/guidance was EXTREMELY helpful. My daughter was admitted into her top choice college, and others, and was given the Dean of Science scholarship, which in essence eliminated the out-of-state tuition cost. She got other scholarship money as well. I would say that we certainly got a GREAT return on our investment. Further, the process was a lot less stressful knowing that a professional team was behind us all the way. Parent of a SILSA student Now we just need to get my son moving along ...... !

Their concerns, support and reassuring smiles, over the years, have instilled an enormous level of confidence and discipline that she will easily carry forward. Math, History, French, and English tutors were all available when we needed them, and now, with her 3.85, we are preparing to use their expertise once again, to help us direct her towards the college of her choice. Over the years, I've seen students from the first grade, to a college student needing a little calculus counsel while away at school, communicating via SKYPE, all receive the help they requested. Their new offices are remarkably convenient and have all the tools needed to help you student succeed. I give them my whole hearted recommendation. -Eric 4/3/2019

This is the best preschool. Both of my kids have had wonderful experiences here and I've found a…read morebeautiful parent community. I personally attended Montessori as a child and felt immediately at home when we initially toured AMS in 2022 for our then almost three yr old. We ended up taking a mid-year spot days after he turned 3 and were welcomed into the school and immediately felt like we'd found the perfect place. Our son was shy at first and the teachers and staff worked with him (and us) to ease into a preschool environment. We have always had wonderful experiences with the staff at AMS, great teachers and admin. My kids are always so well cared for and look forward to going. My son was more than prepared for the transition to public school both socially and academically. Watching him learn to read at AMS has been a huge part of this, I felt like part of the journey as the teachers led us all through the journey of becoming a reader. As a parent volunteer at the school, I always feel welcomed and helpful. It's really special to be able to go into the classroom and see the magic happen. I've found friends in the other parents either through play dates with our kids and school events. The community is incredibly special and I feel lucky to be part of it along with my kids. We've been part of the school for 5 years through both kids and I have had my own transitions from being a mostly stay at home mom, to working part time, and working full time. AMS easily supported our family through each of these. We started as a half day family and then transitioned to full time and then added in aftercare. Everything was seamless with each of these transitions for us as parents and for our kids. Thank you AMS for being the perfect preschool for our family.

My kids have been attending AMS for a total of 6 years now. During that time they have been loved,…read morenurtured and treated with respect while learning to respect others. They have learned how to use practical life in their play. They have learned how to problem solve, to be independent and to communicate kindly with friends and adults. I spend a good deal of time in the classroom and hallway as a reading volunteer and never have I heard a raised voice, a yell from an adult or a disparaging remark to a child. Teachers are firm with their boundaries and gentle with their words.

All the skills of teamwork, creative thinking and inspiring confidence were ones I learned at AMS and have served me well throughout my life. They taught me that there was nothing I couldn't accomplish as long as I worked hard and was dedicated to my goal. Sometimes life isn't about what you have, but the journey you take. AMS was the beginning of my life journey.

We are grateful that our son was able to attend Arthur Morgan School for three formative years, and…read morewe will always credit the school community and its generous teachers with instilling in him a strong sense of self and a passionate desire to learn about and question the world around him. AMS's responsive curriculum and immersive field trips tapped into his natural curiosity and blurred the line between school and life. Hikes and overnight camping built confidence and community, and connected him to the natural world. Our son developed practical life skills and a genuine sense of what it means to contribute to the greater good. Most importantly, he learned a great deal about who he is and who he is capable of becoming.

After moving unexpectedly back to Asheville from Los Angeles, we were in desperate need to get our…read more3 year old into a great preschool. We spent almost a year touring preschools in Los Angeles and then almost another year getting accepted into one of the best ones, which was in extremely high demand. In Asheville, there were fewer options comparatively. We toured several schools that had been highly regarded by different friends but as soon as we went to Roots + Wings School of Art and Design and met Ginger Huebner, the founding director, we were sold. The school was not only the perfect fit for our 3 year old and our family, but after attending a semester, it easily exceeded the ridiculously hard to get into school we were excited to attend in Los Angeles. Roots + Wings is a beautiful blend of creative art driven education with just the right amount of structure, set in a truly wonderful space to learn and grow. Throughout his first semester at Roots and Wings, our son grew so much - emotionally and intellectually. By giving him a comfortable and positive space to explore art and his surroundings, he learned problem solving, interpersonal skills with other children and teachers, and became much more independent. Most importantly, he had a blast doing it all. When we picked him up from school, he was always so excited to show and tell us all the amazing things they'd done that day. The kids created incredible art projects, had animals in the classroom, played music and had plenty of outdoor time. Our teachers were incredible - it's clear that Ginger is very careful when selecting who will be working at her school. The classrooms themselves are also beautiful. Tons of natural light fill every corner, the design and choice of every element in their classroom from the furniture to the wall colors to the flooring is spot on. Roots + Wings feels like a school you'd read about in Sweden (to be fair, the décor at Roots and Wings is Scandinavian modern). Ginger beautifully conceived our end-of-semester celebration, with all the kids artwork and projects elegantly displayed and a sweet and poignant ceremony. Overall we couldn't be happier with Roots + Wings and if you're looking for a creatively stimulating environment with just the right amount of structure for your preschool aged kids, I'm sure you'll love Roots + Wings as well. We can't wait for the next semester to start and for our other kids be old to enough to start attending!!

I started at Asheville Catholic as a pre-ker (it was called ACCS, Asheville Catholic Community…read moreSchool, at the time) and graduated 8th grade in 1996. The school helped me form good study habits, encouraged me to achieve my highest potential, and provided me with a supportive community. ACS gave me the foundation I needed to get into a great private high school and eventually excel in college. The relationships I established at ACS have survived the test of time. I am still friends with many of the kids I went to 1st grade with! One of the most important things ACS taught me was to not fear my teachers. I quickly learned how much teachers want to help, and how much they can help. I loved my teachers, many of whom are still there today. Clearly, they love what they do. Asheville has some wonderful Public schools, but Asheville Catholic is a fantastic alternative for parents seeking more than just a school. ACS offers a vibrant, nurturing community.
