The Asheville City Schools Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organization that collaborates with our community to do whatever it takes for all ACS students to thrive. Our foundation operates as both a funder and provider of pre-K-12 programming. Our work provides transformational opportunities to over 4,300 students and over 650 educators in our district each year. Our programs are grounded in a pursuit of equity and the desire to magnify the genius, encourage the curiosity, celebrate the joy, and support the aspirations of our students and teachers.

 

Our Values and Beliefs

  • We believe in the genius of every child and that each deserves a high-quality education

  • We believe equitable public schools are essential to sustaining our democracy

  • We value diverse community voices and believe collaborative engagement of the community creates a vibrant and equitable school system

  • We value our teachers and staff. We believe in providing resources and opportunities that inspire excellence in teaching and learning

  • Fun, love, safety, growth and collaboration are the core values of our programming for youth. We believe in supporting students to live a curious life and to follow their dreams.

  • We believe that how we allocate money reflects and demonstrates our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in Asheville City Schools. 

 

Our Commitment to Equity

  • We will do whatever it takes to center anti-racist, equitable practices in every facet of our organization including finances, programming, and operations.

  • We will do whatever it takes to include student voice in guiding our organization; we commit to asset framing, recognizing the genius, joy and aspirations of our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, (and) People of Color) students in particular who have been most impacted by inequities in our school system, city, and nation.

  • We will do whatever it takes to share our humanity: as an organization committed to lifelong learning, we are committed to growing through our mistakes and our successes.
