Our family loves Rainbow! Our son has been in both Preschool classes and is now in Kindergarten. He also participates in the before school, after school, and summer camp programs. The teachers and administration are EXCELLENT. They really care about the kids, but they also care about the parents as well. Everything is thoughtfully planned and communicated. We love their “Seven Domains” model of education in which social and emotional development are just as important as intellectual development. And finally, there truly is a “community” among families and staff, which helps us to feel a sense of belonging!
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 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.
