Ashley Hall, South Carolina’s only independent private school for girls, was founded by Mary Vardrine McBee in 1909 as a non-profit college preparatory school for young ladies. Today, Ashley Hall offers educational programs for girls pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and a co-educational preschool for boys ages 2 to 5. Additionally, there is a boarding program for girls in 9th through 12th grades. Ashley Hall offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes discussion-based learning, advanced placement courses, and hands-on, research-based STEM classes and laboratory sciences that stimulate young minds.
Athletics, music, art, extracurricular activities, community service and faculty-led travel opportunities round out the programs. A diverse student body and teaching staff allow for cross-cultural experiences, and class sizes are small, which means more time for teacher-student interaction. With the aim of “empowering young women with self-confidence and a can-do attitude,” Ashley Hall focuses on academic achievement and strong community involvement, encouraging girls in leadership skills and higher aspirations.

it's decent but not that good, i don't like most of the classes and the food is terrible most of the time
12/11/2020
The diversity is terrible and the social environment has not been good for me at all. I would rate it overall at average due to the school's own connections and facilities in addition to some awesome teachers (there have been some not great teachers as well). The academics and college readiness are most likely my two favorite parts of this school even though it can make life more stressful.

If you're a spoiled brat you will fit right in at this school. If you're not, you're in the minority. I hated this school with a passion.

It was the best decision we ever made for our daughter. Wish we had started her there in first grade.

My daughter graduated from AH 2 years ago and had an amazing experience. She was challenged, inspired and encouraged by her teachers. She is now at Rice University with numerous leadership roles- Honor Council, Academic Advising, and just got elected Junior Rep. AH set her up for Success! We love As...

Educationally, this school is outstanding, but they lack an effective way to communicate with the parents. They have a website that is set up to disseminate all information from administration and teachers. The website is glitchy and apparently not maintained. I was always frustrated by not getting...
