Community Life
The Asheville School student body is made up of approximately 75% boarding students and 25% day students. The school values diversity and has students from 20 states and 13 countries. Roughly a quarter of the students receive need-based financial aid. The school has about the same number of males and females. An important avenue for student leadership is the Prefect/Proctor system, which calls on students to help manage dormitories, study halls, technology resources and lab space. Student representatives sit on almost every major school committee.
