The mission of The Mountain Community School is to create an educational environment where students are inspired to academic excellence and discovery. Teachers, parents, students, and the community work together to honor individuality and diversity, nurture respect for self and others, and foster a life-long love of learning.
The Mountain Community School, in Hendersonville, NC is currently accepting applications for a school-wide AIG teacher for the 2018/2019 school year.
We serve 199 children in kindergarten through 8th grade. Our student population is primarily comprised of children from Henderson, Buncombe, Polk, and Rutherford Counties.
The Mountain Community School staff has over 190 combined years of classroom experience. 11 out of 14 teachers either hold a master’s degree or a national board certification. Our dedicated and experienced support staff team-up with our classroom teachers to provide support and instruction throughout the school day.
We are located in Hendersonville, North Carolina nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Our campus borders Jackson Park, a beautiful 212 acre green space that we utilize daily for outdoor education, field ecology, and athletic activities.
Family involvement is at the heart of our school community. School families commit to volunteering each month and help out in classrooms, the office, on school projects or on field trips. An active Parent Teacher Council supports our teachers and staff by coordinating fundraisers, volunteers and teacher appreciation activities.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about who we are and what makes TMCS a special place to all the children we serve. We are a charter school established in 1999, comprised of approximately 200 students, and located in the mountains of Hendersonville, North Carolina. We are thrilled to provide quality instructional programs to our students. We are committed to not only an integrated challenging curriculum but we also recognize the importance of providing a safe climate where children feel free to express and explore their creative spirits.

Our students are kind, respectful and engaged in their learning. All TMCS students are encouraged to strive to be the best they can be and have a great deal of enthusiasm and pride in their work. Extra-curricular activities are also part of our program. Students can compete in athletics, join the math team, compete in the Destination Imagination competition and more.

Our school community is filled with parents that support our mission and all the efforts of the staff and students. We have a high level of volunteerism among our parents. They have a vested interest in the school and work hard to partner with teachers and students, helping to making their child’s educational experience a success.
