History
In 2006 it was designated a Gurian Model School. The school was founded in 1988 through the merger of Asheville Country Day School and St. Genevieve/Gibbons Hall. Asheville Country Day School, which thrived on the current campus, was established in 1936 as a private day school.
Established in 1908, St. Genevieve-of-the-Pines was a Catholic day and boarding school, which emphasized a strong foundation in the liberal arts. The St. Genevieve property was sold to Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College and the schools merged in 1987 as a result of mutual financial difficulties.
In 2006 it was designated a Gurian Model School.
