Middle College

Buncombe County Middle College (BCMC), located on the campus of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, is a unique public high school designed for students who thrive in a non-traditional learning environment. Serving students in grades 11 and 12, the school offers a specialized academic setting that blends high school coursework with the opportunity to earn college credits. By operating within a collegiate atmosphere, the school aims to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education, providing students with a more mature, independent, and self-directed academic experience.

The program is particularly well-suited for students who seek a smaller, more personalized community or those who are looking to get a head start on their post-secondary goals. Because it is located on the A-B Tech campus, students have the opportunity to engage with college-level curriculum and facilities, fostering a smooth transition toward future academic or career endeavors. With a focus on academic rigor and personal growth, Middle College provides a supportive environment that prepares students for the challenges of college and the workforce while they complete their high school graduation requirements.
