Rainbow Community School

We have been a Rainbow family for seven years and have covered grades 2nd – 8th with our two daughters. I am so very grateful that we chose Rainbow when we moved to Asheville. The holistic approach to learning included an environmental, social, and spiritual as well as academic focus, and I couldn’t be more happy with our family’s experience. Both of our daughters have now completed Omega, and I can, without a doubt, say that their experiences there – small class setting, engaged learning, supportive teachers, and engaged leadership – helped to shape the wonderful young women they have become. Thank you, Rainbow!

Our move to Asheville was for lifestyle choice and for the Rainbow school. My first grader was floundering in public kindergarten where she was happy socially but not otherwise. She had some mild special needs. Rainbow school is a godsend for us! She is thriving; the teachers completely *get her*, the school’s philosophy truly resonates with our family and my child is fully seen for the resilient, joyful spirit that she is. The teachers go out of their way to ensure that every child feels safe, seen, understood, and supported. My kid now smiles ear to ear when she sees her teachers, her new friends, and the beautiful school we now call HOME.

We moved to Asheville in 2012 and discovered Pre-K for our 3 year-old son at Rainbow Community School. We have been absolutely thrilled with our son's education so far- he's in 6th grade! Originally a child enrolled in outside physical, occupational, and speech therapies, we had concerns about how he would handle school and how his school would handle him. Rainbow has shown an unconditional supporting, loving, nurturing, intellectually stimulating, and absolutely fulfilling experience for him and our family. I could not say enough good things about this school- it is one of two prime reasons we have stayed in Asheville through thick and thin (the other being extended family!). We will always have so much gratitude to Rainbow for helping us raise our son...and we have faith the foundation he has been given through this school will carry him on to a truly successful, well-rounded life.

Our family is in our 7th year at Rainbow Community School this year. Every year, I feel grateful for the school’s mission, its amazing, smart, creative, supportive teachers and staff, and the joy that my kids both show while they engage with learning, throughout the year in so many different ways — even during Pandemic times. I can say without a doubt that the teachers really know the kids, and truly care about helping them reach their potential across all the domains of learning. We highly value being part of this community and watching our kids be excited about school, year after year.

10/10! My kids love going to school everyday and are learning so much.
