Visit Asheville Christian Academy
Experience a Place Where Faith and Learning Thrive
The right learning environment makes all the difference. You want a school where your child will be challenged, supported, and shaped by experiences that go beyond the classroom. At Asheville Christian Academy, our campus isn’t just a backdrop. It’s an essential part of the education we provide.
Nestled on 53 acres in the breathtaking Appalachian Mountains, ACA offers students a daily connection to God’s creation, reinforcing the wonder and order of His design. We have 180,000 square feet of learning spaces — from engaging classrooms to top-tier athletic and arts facilities — that are intentionally designed to foster both academic excellence and spiritual growth.
Come see how our campus, our community, and our Christ-centered approach create an education that shapes students for life.
Take a Personal Tour:
Personal tours are available Monday through Thursday during the school day. As you walk through our classrooms, library, and athletic facilities, you'll see students engaged in hands-on learning, collaboration, and worship. Tours last about an hour and include time to meet teachers and ask questions about academics, student life, and admissions.
Come to an Open House:
Open House events are held twice a month from November through April and offer a welcoming way to experience Asheville Christian Academy. You'll begin with a brief introduction from school administrators before joining a guided tour led by a current ACA parent. As you explore the campus, you'll see firsthand how students learn, grow, and thrive.
Participate in a Shadow Day:
Shadow Days give students entering grades 6 to 12 a chance to experience Asheville Christian Academy from an insider’s perspective. Your child will be paired with a student host, attend classes, meet teachers, and participate in daily activities. It’s an opportunity to see what it’s like to attend ACA.

What Families Value About Our Private Christian School
“I love meeting families and learning a little bit about them while on a private tour. It’s always fun to see the school through the fresh perspective of a potential new family - I usually notice something new myself. My biggest advice - make sure to visit either through a tour or open house event - you will not regret it!”
