I am Hạnh, from Vũng Tàu, Vietnam. My son's name is Tôn Đức Huy, and he is currently in 10th grade at Christ School.
My thoughts on Christ School are as follows:
- Christ School is located in a beautiful city, and it only takes 15 minutes to get to the nearest airport (Asheville), which is quite convenient for students who wish to return home during holidays. The climate is also a plus here; the temperature is not as cold as in New York or Boston, helping children avoid skin or respiratory problems.
- The teachers at the school are very friendly, enthusiastic about their profession, and ready to support students in their studies and adapt to the new environment. For international students who face language difficulties in their first few years, the school arranges 1:1 English tutoring to support them.
- The students: open-minded, friendly, and willing to share. This is an important factor because it helps children avoid feeling lost, lonely, or unable to integrate when they move to a new place.
- The school's facilities are good and modern. The dormitory (dorm) is located near the classrooms (campus), so students only need to walk a few steps to get there, without needing to take a bus to school. The school has a dedicated sports area for students to play and train physically, helping them reduce stress after class and socialize.
- Christ School offers many extracurricular activities, especially on weekends, for students to choose from, so they always feel busy and never bored.
- During major holidays, the school can arrange accommodation for students according to parents' requests or organize tours for students to visit neighboring countries.

The school's overall hardware facilities are excellent, with a rich variety of activities, and teachers are very responsible. In recent years, Chinese students have also had very good graduation prospects. There is a high level of attention paid to international students, especially during COVID-19, where they provided a lot of care to Chinese students. My child really likes this school. This year, the school also purchased a small aircraft and newly introduced aviation extracurricular activities.

Beyond the school's various facilities, which include luxurious yet understated indoor and outdoor sports fields, diverse sports programs, high-level academic courses, accommodation perfectly suited for students' physical and mental well-being, a wide variety of nutritious meals, and labor training that fosters service and dignity, Christ School's late autumn, from a seasonal perspective, is utterly enchanting, with its campus-wide autumn colors being the most captivating feature.
