About

Ashley Hall is a jewel in the heart of downtown Charleston. But it’s not our historic buildings and oak-canopied grounds that make our campus so special. It’s our students. And our exceptional program and faculty. And the vibrant learning community that together they create. Ashley Hall is a community that challenges, celebrates and supports young women at every stage of their education. Explore this section to learn more about our mission, our history, and our vision for the girls of the 21st century and beyond.

Programs

An Ashley Hall education reflects a thoughtful and developmentally appropriate approach to the teaching and learning process. Our program is designed to meet the needs of the individual student, recognizing and honoring how she learns best. We call it a Learning Spiral— a continuum of concepts and interwoven, spiraling progression of academic mastery. Take a look and explore our spiral to learn more.

Admission

An Ashley Hall girl is her own person. She brings with her unique talents, needs, dreams and hopes. And just like our students, our admission process is also unique. We want to get to know every applicant to ensure Ashley Hall is the perfect fit. All the details are here.

Alumnae

The Ashley Hall Alumnae Association is one of the ongoing gifts of an Ashley Hall education. Our graduates become part of a network of dynamic women across the globe who are doing incredible things. We want to keep in touch, and this section of our website is your invitation to connect.
