My student started at Asheville this past year and it has been a complete joy. She has really grown into a strong and positive person. She has been challenged academically but supported by her teachers and peers. Our family has been really happy with this experience. Best decision ever!

My son has had a wonderful experience at Asheville School. He is a domestic boarding student who loves the community and the freedom that comes with being a student who is trusted and loved. The facilities are among the best available at any of the boarding schools we visited. He had a wonderful experience traveling during Winterim and has made friends that he will have forever. He is a year round swimmer who is able to train in an incredible facility with access to highly qualified trainers and sport specific strength and conditioning. I am incredibly impressed with the community atmosphere and the many activities that are offered on the weekends.

It's really fun. Feels like a summer camp 24/7. Never a dull movement and an overall great time. Being a day student I get to meet tons of different people from all walks of life.

My son attended this school as a boarder with a very small financial aid which means we still paid a lot more than the day students. There is strong bias towards students and some received support other support learning their independent way and others were victims of school administration politics....
