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.

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.
