Parent: My son has attended Brevard Academy for 6 years. In those 6 years, he, as a student, and we, as a family, are supported in many ways. Our son has gained skills/tools from staff and administration that help him to thrive. It has not always been easy. There have been bumps. During those bumps there’s been respect, care, support and communication. I wish Brevard Academy continued into high school!... Read 10 reviews

Parent: Francine Delay has been amazing for my son! They do so many cool activities and projects that keep him really engaged! I love how responsive the teachers are! My son had speech delays starting kindergarten and his teacher went above and beyond to make sure he felt confident speaking up in class! There is a really wonderful community feeling at Francine Delany, it's a really incredible school!... Read 1 review

Works Here: Having taught in district public schools across the nation for 20+ years, I am incredibly fortunate to call FernLeaf home. The student-centered and hands on approach to learning makes it an amazing place for kids to learn and grow. They have access to a high quality academic education that is appropriately balanced with important social/emotional and experiential learning opportunities that support their overall growth and development. Students participate in at least 8 fieldtrips every year, engage in ongoing project based learning experiences, participate in a school-wide mindfulness program, and are surrounded by loving adults who are deeply committed to every aspect of their wellbeing. This is also what makes FernLeaf an amazing place to work! We are surrounded by incredibly talented and caring educators who are supported in doing what they love. And when teachers are able to work in a healthy, thoughtful, and compassionate school environment, both they and their students thrive!... Read 41 reviews

Senior: This school puts a lot to work into the student's education. Starting from kindergarten, students are able to learn abilities many other schools do not start to teach until later in school-hood. However, the school needs some work on the discipline and guidelines. There have been signs of favoritism and leniency towards some students but not others. The teachers care deeply about their students and their education, but they also need to value the education of consequences.... Read 18 reviews

Senior: Lake Lure Classical Academy is a public-charter school located in the beautiful town of Lake Lure. In my eleven years at this school, I overall had a good experience with the education provided, students, and staff members. It has its positive aspects and its negative aspects, however, it has done me right in my education.... Read 31 reviews
