Parent Testimonials


My daughter looks forward to going to school every day.
Happy children learning to love learning! What more could a parent want? Simply the best feeling I have ever had about a school anywhere...
We are new to TNCA this year and have discovered a hidden gem in Asheville! The teachers are knowledgeable, nurturing, inspiring to their students, and cater to different learning styles. We were specifically looking for a school that valued childhood, encouraged service learning, allowed for outdoor play and physical activity, and adhered to a foundational educational pedagogy. Well, we found it at TNCA, and our whole family could not be happier!
TNCA has welcomed both my son and me into the classroom. Whether it is simply to observe or be involved in my child’s learning, I feel comfortable there, knowing what is happening in the classroom.
The teachers have worked very hard to find ways to connect learning strategies with the unique way my son’s brain works!
The dedication to internal motivation at this school is impressive. My daughter is able to make choices about her education and it really has paid off.
