All of my son’s teachers have been exceptionally talented at both teaching and inspiring. The students, both diverse and highly talented, are very supportive of each other - the antithesis of the cutthroat behavior in some other elite schools. The staff and Adminitration really care and make a point of knowing and supporting the students. My son loves dorm life, his classes, Tech opportunities (Robotics, App Dev.), the mountaineering program, and the stuningly beautiful campus. The Arts are heavily supported which draws impressive talent and provides many opportunities to partake. I have friends whose children strongly disliked their experience at two of the “top ten” schools so we looked for the same level of academics in a more positive supportive school community; We found it!

I was very fortunate to have been able to attend Asheville School. The academics are challenging but my preparation for college was more than I could have ever expected. As a student you recognize that each faculty member has a genuine care about your well-being and is invested in your growth as a young adult. The sports facilities are state of the art and offer everything from groomed playing fields, weight rooms, gymnasiums and an indoor pool! The arts program is also stellar including theater, and music programs. Asheville School is an exemplar of diversity with a strong percentage of its student body being from abroad. I would recommend that anyone considering Asheville School to visit. Once you drive up Asheville School Road and look to your left and gaze upon the rolling hills and Mount Pisgah you will understand why so many people, regardless of where you are in the world, call this wonderful place home. Go Blues!
Asheville School has unparalled academics that truly set you up for the upcoming college work ahead. The administration is constantly involved in the student lives, and teachers are more than qualified to teach. The campus is beautiful, with rolling hills and trees that turn bright shades of orange, yellow, and red during the fall. I would highly recommend attending!
