Located in Asheville, North Carolina, Evergreen Community Charter School is a tuition-free, public school serving approximately 450 students in grades K-8. We follow the EL Education model, a research-substantiated model for school reform with roots in the adventure and leadership organization, Outward Bound. (For more information on EL Education, please see the national organization’s website, www.eleducation.org). Our program embraces differentiated instruction, curriculum integration, focused literacy and math, challenging performance assessment, environmental education and character education.

One of Evergreen’s aspirations is to design and nurture a community that is inclusive, equitable, and supportive of students and families, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, economic status, physical and mental abilities, religious values, or political affiliations.

Foremost in our work at this time is to create greater racial equity at our school. We recognize that charter schools, regardless of intention, have directly contributed to school resegregation and we strive to identify and eliminate the role our school plays in this injustice. As we work together, we hope that students, staff, and parents become advocates for social justice in all its forms.
