The Seven Domains™

The Rainbow Seven Domains™ is an all-inclusive approach that nurtures a child’s highest growth potential.

Through this model, we engage the Physical, Natural, Social, Emotional, Creative, Mental, and Spiritual aspects of human development.

Approaching education through this holistic lens ensures each child’s learning journey is personalized and balanced to foster thriving within and beyond their school-age years.

Educational Programs

Rainbow Community School's diverse programing and dynamic curriculum offer an inspired PreK-8th grade learning experience for our students.

What Sets Us Apart

Along with the depth, complexity, and scholarship inherent in a Seven Domains™ education, our community holds childhood, adolescence, parenting and learning as sacred. We support a culture of belonging where individually we shine and collectively we enlighten.

Mission & Vision

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.

Our beautiful campus

With over 5 acres, the Rainbow Community School Campus is a protected oasis nestled in the vibrant urban corridor of West Asheville. Treasured old-growth trees, water filtration wetlands, award-winning playground, athletic field, and pickleball courts, are among a few of the highlights found when you enter our property. As a community school, we also foster partnerships with other local organizations expanding the classroom far beyond our doors.

The Seven Domains™

The Seven Domains™ are grounded in supporting the whole child. Holistic Education defines learning through comprehensive integration not only of traditional academic subjects but also of the many facets that comprise a human being. Through engagement in each of the seven domains we validate and grow our capacity for complex emotions, deep connections to the natural world, creative expression, physical agility and so much more.

Summer Programming at Rainbow

Seven Weeks of Summer Fun!

Each summer, Rainbow Community School hosts seven weeks of camp for rising 1st through 8th graders. Summer Camps at Rainbow are an extension of what happens during the school year. Our camps focus on holistic approaches that appeal to all learners. Everything from hands-on nature awareness, water play, to art exploration, there’s something for everyone.
