BUNCOMBE COUNTY MIDDLE COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL
Our school system strives to offer education options for all of our students; we offer many different pathways to graduation. Two successful programs are Buncombe County Middle College and Community High School.
BUNCOMBE COUNTY MIDDLE COLLEGE
Buncombe County Middle College( BCMC) is located on A-B Tech’ s main campus. BCMC serves high school juniors and seniors from across BCS. These are capable students who find that a traditional comprehensive high school does not meet their needs.
Students are held to high academic and social standards. In return, students are given the support needed to achieve their goals in an empowering academic setting. Students attend Middle College from Noon until 4:30pm. This allows them to enroll in morning classes at A-B Tech( tuition free) and begin a college or vocational career.
We offer small class size with our average class consisting of 15-20 students. This allows for greater student / teacher interaction and builds positive relationships. Our teachers also offer time before class for tutoring or academic support for college classes. We welcome all students who want to get a jump start on their future while completing their high school requirements in small class settings.
COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL
Community High School( CHS) is a public, alternative high school of approximately 200 students. CHS students are committed to developing their academic knowledge base, learning new work / life skills, and graduating from high school. It is believed that with a smaller classroom size and supportive learning environment, students can effectively re-engage in the educational process. We work diligently to remove barriers and to help students recognize areas of success, despite life’ s challenges.
We believe that students learn best when they are actively engaged in a variety of learning activities to solve problems and to produce quality work.
We believe that a student’ s self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and by mutual respect among and between students, staff, and the community.
We believe that the commitment to continuous improvement is imperative in order to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
