Asheville appeals to families for a variety of reasons. Even in the midst of the pandemic, the region's economy remains healthy, with new jobs being added every year. The "Zoom town" impact has only exacerbated the demand for housing in towns across western North Carolina that were already thriving with fresh growth.
People working remotely often feel pent up in larger urban locations, desperate for a great view and open landscapes. In many situations, folks are buying houses and land in our region without seeing them first.
Western North Carolina is, in our opinion, the best place to reside in the United States. If you don't have a view of the mountains from your home, you can at least see them on your commute to work or school. One of the highest concentrations of waterfalls east of the Mississippi River can be found in our area.
There are endless miles of hiking trails within a short drive of downtown Asheville. There is so much to see and do that one individual could never see it all in a lifetime.
For all these reasons and more, this is a great place in which to raise a family. Parents have many choices for educating their children. You can choose the only Lutheran school in Asheville that employs a STEAM-based curriculum.
STEAM education begins in kindergarten, with each year's STEAM projects building on the previous year's. As they work in groups to solve challenges, students will be able to see and establish methods and processes on which they can lean throughout their lives. This lends intrigue to things that may have seemed uninteresting previously in their academic experience.
Robotics, drones, 3D imaging, and other forms of technology are employed in the classroom to connect all of the traditional topics. Students benefit from smaller class sizes and the support they receive at a Chrisitan school like ELS.
Located in West Asheville, ELS has over fifty years of experience teaching and leading students academically and spiritually. If you would like to know more about our Asheville Lutheran school, reach out to the team at ELS today.
