Living at Christ School

Weekends at Christ School offer the boys a wide variety of off-campus activities which take advantage of Asheville's burgeoning arts and entertainment scene, as well as outdoor recreation that draws millions of tourists to the Blue Ridge Mountains each year.  Christ School regularly holds mixers with sister schools such as Saint Mary's in Raleigh. Be sure to check out the Student Activities page for a current list of upcoming activities.

At Christ School, friendly competition goes beyond the athletic fields. From the first day of school to the last, our boys compete in a school wide experience known as Dorm Wars. Each dorm participates collectively in an all around competition involving academics, athletics, community service, school spirit, and ingenuity. Whether putting together a skit for Asheville School Week, encouraging a fellow dorm mate to put in the extra hour of study for an exam, or designing a seaworthy ship for our annual Regatta on the lake, Christ School boys find that working collectively as a dorm to achieve excellence in all aspects of school life instills a sense of pride and dedication that translates into success in and beyond residential living. Not to mention that the winner each semester gets to miss a day of classes!

Christ School boys will always be empowered and enabled to learn outside the traditional classroom setting, acquiring knowledge about fields and hobbies that pique their curiosity. Students are encouraged to explore talents and develop skills through a diverse offering of extracurricular clubs and organizations that touch on a variety of interests. Some clubs and activities include the Angelus (yearbook), Choir, the Environmental Club, and many more.

Belonging to the Christ School community means looking beyond our 500-acre campus to a world outside in desperate need of selfless acts. The Service Learning Program at Christ School seeks to instill a genuine desire to serve others in the Asheville area and the global community beyond. Christ School offers a variety of opportunities not only to serve, but also to learn and understand the ways in which each Christ School boy can make a difference one hour at a time. 

Christ School inherently believes there are no walls to any classroom, which is why the boys have the opportunity to take fun, enriching trips every year. Our 2024 trips included a World War II history trip to London and France, The Bahamas, Camino de Santiago, a joint Dominican Republic service trip with Saint Mary's School, and Greece/Italy.
