Mission: New city christian school serves kindergarten through 5th grade students from various racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds. New city equips students with the knowledge, confidence, and hope to fulfill god's purposes in their lives and community. We accomplish this goal by providing a strong foundation in academic, spiritual, and relational growth. Ultimately through christ our saviour and redeemer, with our families, students, staff and new city christian school initiatives, we hope to reduce the educational gap and cultural divisions within the greater asheville community.
