Thursday, April 2nd is a noon dismissal. Please note that there will be no aftercare available that day.

There will be no school on Friday, April 3rd or Monday, April 6th. We pray you have a meaningful weekend reflecting on the sacrifice of our Savior and celebrating the joy of His resurrection.

In this episode, we sit down with Sara Nix, a devoted mother of five and ACA's current PTF President, to hear the story behind her family’s remarkable commitment to the school. Driving over an hour each way, Sara shares what makes ACA worth the daily sacrifice—and why her family continues to choose this community year after year.

She reflects on the impact ACA has had on each of her children across lower, middle, and upper school, and how faith, academics, and relationships have shaped their growth. 

Along the way, she speaks to the deeper “why” behind their decision—the values, experiences, and Christ-centered environment that make ACA not just a school, but a place where her children are truly known and nurtured.

If you missed last Friday’s Parenting Together event featuring Dr. Sean McDowell, you can watch it at the link here.

Dr. McDowell, a gifted communicator, bestselling author, and passionate advocate for equipping young people, shared practical and encouraging insights for parents seeking to help their children confidently live out their faith. Known for his humor, engaging stories, and thoughtful, evidence-based approach, he drew from his work on books like So the Next Generation Will Know, Chasing Love, and Evidence That Demands a Verdict.

This conversation is a valuable resource for families navigating how to think biblically and engage today’s culture with truth and grace, and it is also well suited for middle and high school students to watch.

The 2026–2027 Parent Calendar is now ready! Families can begin planning for key dates including the Back to School Bash (August 17), the first day of school (August 19 – noon dismissal), holidays, parent nights, Winterim, Spring Break, and end-of-year events like Baccalaureate (May 28) and Graduation (May 29).

We are grateful to share that, thanks to your generosity, we have raised $401,000 to date through gifts, pledges, and the matching fund contribution. This brings us to 99% of our $406,000 goal—just $5,000 away from completion.

If you are able, please consider making a gift or pledge to help us cross the finish line. All gifts must be received by June 30, 2026.

Thank you for your faithful support and continued commitment to ACA.

We are delighted to announce that registration for the 2026 Summer Camp session is now open. Please click the button below to view the camp brochure and access the registration link.

At Asheville Christian Academy, we are more than a school. We are a community shaped by shared purpose and partnership. One meaningful way families engage in that partnership is through membership in the ACA Corporation.

Each year, parents and employees are invited to join the Corporation and play a vital role in supporting the school’s mission and future. Corporation members help affirm leadership through the election of the Board of Directors, who safeguard ACA’s mission and direction while the Head of School leads its daily work. Together, this structure provides clarity, accountability, and long-term strength.

Becoming part of the Corporation is more than a formality. It is an opportunity to participate in stewardship, invest in the life of the school, and help ensure ACA remains rooted in its Christ centered mission for the 2026 to 2027 school year.

Thank you for being an essential part of our community.

Join us Friday, April 10 at 8:30am in the library for Parent Connect & Equip—a meaningful gathering where parents come together to explore relevant cultural topics through the lens of Scripture. This time is designed to deepen your understanding, engage with God’s Word, and connect with other parents through thoughtful discussion and fellowship. For questions or more information, please contact Kate Williamson at kate.williamson@ashevillechristian.org.

We invite all families to join us for the final Worship Wednesday of the school year, a special time to gather in corporate worship as a school community.

Our security partner Dominion Company Police shares important insights on protecting children in today’s digital world, from online gaming risks to social media safety. This month’s Safety Corner highlights what every parent should know to help keep students safe both on and offline. Be sure to read the full article linked below.

We’re excited to share that our team has begun practicing on the new track! While this is an exciting milestone, the track is not yet open for ACA family use. Construction is still ongoing in the surrounding areas, and access remains limited for safety reasons. We look forward to sharing an official opening announcement once the project is fully complete.

Parents, please remember that any changes to your child’s dismissal plan should be updated in SchoolPass. This helps us ensure a smooth and safe dismissal for all students.

Thank you for your cooperation!
