Our Approach
Located in Chapel Hill, NC, Asher Day School will be a private school that offers an enriching blend of project-based and social-emotional learning to children in K-8. We are dedicated to fostering a positive and balanced learning environment as an alternative to conventional schooling. Our curriculum emphasizes a hands-on, project-based approach, stirring exploration, curiosity, and discovery across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines in an interconnected manner. Asher Day School seeks to transform the primary school years into a joyful and enriching journey that ultimately prepares students to thrive and pursue their passions.
In contrast to the competitive and inflexible atmosphere often found in conventional schools, we champion a supportive setting that not only promotes intellectual growth and appreciates individual talents but also minimizes unnecessary stress. All this is meticulously designed to cater to each student’s unique learning style, sensory needs, and strengths.
Our Mission
Inclusivity and diversity are key to the Asher Day School experience. We encourage our students to be their authentic selves without the need to mask or conform to rigid social norms. As such, we welcome all neurotypes, orientations, genders, and lifestyles. At Asher Day, we aspire to make school a safe and welcoming hub of discovery where our students are free to express themselves in an environment of mutual respect and camaraderie. It is our mission to transform primary education into a journey of exploration where skills and knowledge are learned in an applied setting in collaboration with peers and community partners across a broad set of disciplines.
