After school programming is an awesome way for our students to extend their learning.

At French Broad River Academy, our riverfront is the perfect classroom. Eighth grade students participate in roundtable discussions about the experiences of early settlers and indigenous peoples in the Americas.

There is a lifetime of lessons which can be learned in a tandem canoe. #middleschool

Students are working hard in the classroom to get the school year launched on a solid academic footing!

FBRA teachers wear many hats, which allows them to build deep relationships with students across a number of settings. In a typical week, FBRA Boys Staff Member Christian Conway teaches math, leads climbing PE, runs the mountain biking after-school program, supervises lunches, breaks, and advisory periods, teaches the Wilderness First Aid elective, maintains all first aid supplies for the school, and leads Wednesday field lessons (this week he is climbing with 8th graders). Phew! He's also our official campfire starter at Camp Mondamin, and he's one of our most skilled ski instructors during the winter

Boys Program Director Felix Dowsley has published his first novel entitled Jetsam. Congrats, Felix!

One way that we build strong community at FBRA is through regular assemblies. At assemblies, we gather with music, we celebrate our successes and reflect on our days, and we take turns leading, following, learning, and laughing!

Our students learn the ins and outs of the French Broad River Watershed, starting with the headwaters at the beginning of 6th grade. For their first of many weekly in-school field lessons, they explored the area around Devils Courthouse and Graveyard Fields while learning about the source of our school's namesake river.

At FBRA, we love Mondays! Our amazing parent volunteers help serve up a hot lunch to all our students. Today, the students enjoyed delicious food from @nicksgrillavl. We also celebrate birthdays for that month on Hot Lunch Mondays with our Salamander birthday song and cupcakes. Thanks to all the parent volunteers who made today great!
