Campus Life

We focus on helping students ages 10 – 14 because we know how precious and special this time of life can be. We also appreciate how turbulent and uncertain these years can feel. We love this age and we love these students. This feeling pervades our community.

Our family-style community is supportive, nurturing, and close-knit. Our environment is purposely designed to provide space to develop friendships, repair relationships, and practice adaptive communication. Students heal from the inside out; developing strength, confidence, resilience, and self-worth.

Why Does Asheville Academy Work?

OUR COMMUNITY

The community environment of Asheville Academy supports personal, emotional, and behavioral growth. It’s purposefully designed to help students build confidence and self-esteem alongside their peers, while creating lasting, trusting relationships.

DAILY LIFE

Predictability and consistency are two key components in helping a young person re-establish balance in their life.  Our team, our campus, and our students all help to make this work. Take a look at what daily life is like for a student at Asheville Academy!
