Carolina Day School company history timeline

1908

St Genevieve-of-the-Pines was established in 1908 by nuns from a French order known as "The Religious of Christian Education." In the beginning, it was both a day school for boys and girls, ages six to thirteen, and a boarding school for girls ages fourteen to eighteen.

1912

In 1912, Mother Margaret McSwiney, Ph.D., founded St Genevieve's College, which offered an intensive two-year course in French, (also known as a Lycée), as well as a four-year liberal arts curriculum.

1930

In 1930, it evolved into a two-year junior college, called "St Genevieve's Junior College," with two distinct tracks.

1936

Asheville Country Day School (ACDS) was founded in 1936 by a group of local parents who sought better high school preparation for their children.

1949

First housed on Victoria Road, the K-9 school grew quickly and eventually combined with another local school, the Haseltine School, in 1949.

1971

In 1971, the religious order was no longer able to support both St Genevieve-of-the-Pines and Gibbons Hall.

1987

In 1987, the two schools joined forces to merge SG-GH into ACDS and move forward under a new name.

The St Genevieve property was sold to Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College and the schools merged in 1987 as a result of mutual financial difficulties.

1988

The school was founded in 1988 through the merger of Asheville Country Day School and St Genevieve/Gibbons Hall.
