Asheville School is one of the nation's leading boarding schools. What sets us apart?
Academics - Our challenging academic program—including more than 17 Advanced Placement (AP) courses—helps give our students a competitive edge. They learn to reason and communicate clearly. They attend top colleges. Most importantly, they go on to lives of leadership and service.
Size - We're small-about 250 dynamic, talented students in grades 9-12. Students receive support from dedicated, inspiring faculty, most of whom live right on campus.
Values and Opportunities - From our student-run honor system to our unwritten code of respect, values matter here. And students have many opportunities for leadership and participation in competitive athletics, the arts, and outdoor adventure.
Campus - Our stunning 300-acre campus is in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains-on the outskirts of Asheville, NC, a city that mixes cosmopolitan style with southern culture. Our facilities combine gorgeous, historic buildings with 21st century technology.
Student Body Overview - Ours is a close-knit community. Within the first month of school each year, virtually every faculty member knows each of our 250 students by name. Our student population represents roughly 30 different states and twelve foreign countries. Ethnic and cultural diversity abound on our campus. Though originally founded as an all-boys’ school, Asheville School is now fully co-educational with male and female populations of equal size. Though our students come from a variety of backgrounds, they all share a common appreciation for the value of good character, hard work, and scholarship.
Faculty Overview - Our dedicated faculty members bring with them a wide range of experiences, talents, and backgrounds; however, they all share a dedication to the mission of the School, striving to educate the mind, body, and spirit within each of their students. Most of Asheville School’s faculty live on campus, making them readily accessible for extra help and counsel. In that context, the sense of community here is remarkable by any standards.
