Work With Us

Asheville School is a place that combines tradition with vision, and working here is like no other experience. Faculty and staff members are an integral part of our thriving community, with most Asheville School employees living on campus alongside colleagues and students.

Faculty Information

Faculty members at Asheville School serve a purpose that is better described as a “calling” than as a “job.” They hold many roles and responsibilities beyond those of classroom teaching.

Most Asheville School faculty members live on campus and have responsibilities in our residential life program, either by working as a hall parent or serving dorm and study hall duties throughout the week. They also coach a sport or lead non-athletic afternoon activities.

Faculty members who thrive at Asheville School are passionate about their class subject, afternoon activities, and the growth and development of the adolescents under their care.

Asheville School teachers typically teach three to four sections of their class subject, coach or lead two seasons of a sport or afternoon activity during the school year, serve as advisors to a small group of students to monitor their progress and help them succeed, participate in our service program by leading community service projects on and off campus, are required to be present for school events and family-style seated meals for weekday lunches and Thursday dinners, sponsor and chaperone weekend activities, and take on weekly dorm or study hall duties.

It is a busy and rewarding schedule. In addition to receiving a competitive salary and benefits package, many faculty members live in housing on campus at no cost. Asheville School also offers tuition support for advanced degrees and supports professional development opportunities for faculty members throughout the year.

Staff Information

Joining our staff means becoming part of a team dedicated to fostering the growth and development of young, inquiring minds. Our commitment to academic excellence, a strong sense of community, and shared values create an environment where students are prepared not just for college but for a lifetime of success and fulfillment.

Our range of full-time, part-time, and leadership positions is essential to maintaining a vibrant and successful school environment. These roles offer opportunities for staff to engage with and contribute to our mission in meaningful ways, supporting a holistic student experience.

At Asheville School, we believe in the importance of each community member’s growth and development. By joining our team, you will be part of a dedicated community that values education and the lifelong impact we can make on our students’ lives.
