Carolina Day School is an independent, co-ed, college preparatory school serving grades pre-K through 12. The school is in the town of Biltmore Forest (a town completely encircled by Asheville, North Carolina). Carolina Day (CDS) is an independent, secular K-12 school, consisting of a lower (PK-5), middle (6-8), and upper school(9-12) and the Key School (2-8).
Key Schoolwas established in 1997 to provide a high-quality, innovative education for bright children with language-based learning differences, like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or dyscalculia. As a division of Carolina Day School, students and families who join Key School are an integrated and important part of community life at CDS. Key School uses the Orton-Gillingham method and offers small classes (Language classes are generally a 4:1 student teacher ratio) to support students and assist them in moving to self-advocacy and independence in learning.
Carolina Day School is a member of the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools.
