About Omega Middle School

Omega Middle School’s holistic, experiential and project-based approach to education is vitally important during the middle school years when children experience tremendous cognitive, emotional and biological changes.

Our program challenges students to know themselves as academic learners, have a strong sense of personal self worth and find their voice to express themselves authentically. The low teacher-to-student ratio, rigorous individualized curriculum and Seven Domains approach makes the Omega program an extraordinary middle school.

OUR MISSION

We develop accomplished, confident, and creative learners who are prepared to be compassionate leaders in building a socially just, spiritually connected, and environmentally sustainable world.

Providing the Best School Experience for Students for over 40 years

Omega Middle School is proud to offer a private, independent and alternative educational program for preschool through middle school-aged children that draws from the best in current educational thinking and holistic models of child development. We are recognized nationally as a leader in contemplative and mindfulness education.

Social / Emotional Development 

Understanding the principle that emotional and social stability is a requisite for academic success, students start each day in Omega Middle School with centering as a practice of mindfulness.

This is a unique time designed to build community, strengthen character, and encourage ethical decision making while placing value in multiple perspectives. As an end result, this creates empathy, or what many are calling the EQ (emotional intelligence). Students set the tone for their day and are fueled for greatness.

Visitors are always welcome!

High Expectations. 7 Domains.

With our rigorous curriculum, expectations are high. From science fairs to presentations, in-depth lessons that tie history, math, and language arts together, the curriculum incorporates the 7 Domains.

I am fortunate to have both of my children attend this incredible school. As soon as you step on campus you feel you are in a special place. The teachers are truly engaged with each child. Our family loves that Rainbow helps the whole child develop- emotionally, physically, artistically and academically. I fully recommend taking a tour of this exceptional school!

Parent Testimonials

Feedback from Omega and Rainbow families.

Omega Middle School is a well-kept secret for parents looking for a great middle school alternative for their child. It is located in the heart of West Asheville on a beautiful 5 acre campus with an artful playground and full-size athletic field. The campus also has an auditorium with a great sound system and stage for the performing arts. Class sizes are small and the students get to choose from a variety of electives in addition to the core curriculum. The teachers are all amazingly gifted and dedicated to meeting your child’s needs in a wholistic manner. Students are mostly in a combined gender setting but also separate at times for in-depth discussions of gender identity and all that it entails. We all know that middle school can be a very challenging time for the adolescents experiencing it — Omega Middle School meets that challenge by supporting and expanding the minds and spirits of all students.

My son has been at Rainbow since preschool, and is graduating 8th grade tomorrow. The moment we walked in the door for preschool orientation, our family became a part of the greater school family. Since then, we have strengthened those bonds through countless gatherings and by volunteering at school events. Over the years the teachers at Rainbow have encouraged and inspired my son by their own passion for life-long learning. Their well thought out lessons are aimed at teaching the whole child, and my son has blossomed from that approach. The community at Rainbow Community School has loved my son into the amazing young man with limitless potential he is today, and I will be forever grateful for that.
