Asheville School’s campus is closed until Wednesday, October 16, due to the weather impacts from Hurricane Helene. Prospective families and students can still connect with us—our Admission Team is offering virtual tours and information sessions to introduce you to everything Asheville School has to offer.

Summer Reading

Students, be sure to read and annotate your books before you return to campus in the fall. Please do not try to read your summer reading books during athletics pre-season. All courses will begin the year with quizzes on these books and you will write essays about them, so please read them carefully so you can start the year on a strong note.
