About Carolina Day School
Carolina Day School is the only co-educational, independent day school in Asheville, North Carolina. Serving students in grades PK3-12, Carolina Day combines compassion with high standards to transform its students into high achievers and confident, capable learners.
With a challenge to stand out in a saturated independent school market, Carolina Day School reached out to Finalsite to redesign their website. By working closely with Finalsite's design team and Blackbaud's data integration, the school created a striking website that tells the school's story, attracts and engages families, and simplifies data for all users.
