Welcome to Rainbow Mountain
Children's School and Omega Program
Rainbow Mountain Children's School and Omega Program (RMCS)
is a private, independent school serving 40 preschoolers and
up to
100 students from kindergarten through eighth grade in Asheville, North Carolina. For more than 30 years, we have been a national leader in alternative, holistic and contemplative education.
Our curriculum is based on the best thinking in current educational research and offers:
- Holistic approach to education
- Multi-age learning environments
- Emphasis on creativity and self expression
- Exposure to world cultures and traditions
- Loving and emotionally-safe environment
- Positive, respectful discipline methods
- Low student/teacher ratio
We strive to support the development of the whole child in five domains: mental, emotional, moral/social, physical and spiritual. We accomplish this task, in part, using the Multiple Intelligences approach pioneered by Harvard's Howard Gardner. Students are invited to engage in subjects using a variety of intelligences including linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic and interpersonal. We encourage self-directed learning through the development of essential learning skills and behaviors.
