Welcome

I am pleased you are interested in learning more about one of America’s best boarding schools — Asheville School.

Asheville School is for bright, motivated students, and admission to the School is selective. We strive to know each candidate well. In doing so, both candidate and school get a clear sense if Asheville School is the right fit.

When you visit our 300-acre mountain campus, you will sit in on the class of your choosing, go on tour with a student, attend Chapel or Convocation, interview with someone from the Admission Office and eat lunch with our entire student body. The majority of candidates even get a personal interview with Arch Montgomery, our Head of School.

As Mr. Montgomery notes, "Asheville School is about people and relationships. We believe that a good school is one in which every student is known and loved. We ensure that this happens by remaining purposefully small and predominantly boarding. We eat, worship and live close to one another. At Asheville School, we strive to cultivate in our students not only important tools like problem solving, analysis, creative thinking and clear communications, but we also want our students to live lives of honor, duty, courage and kindness."

I invite you to explore our website and learn all about us, including: academics, athletics, mountaineering and our college placement record.

If you are interested in learning more about our school, please take the time to fill out our inquiry form. I hope you will visit Asheville School to see all we have to offer. I think you’re going love it.

Sincerely,
