WARREN WILSON COLLEGE
Warren Wilson College is located in the Swannanoa Valley, ten miles east of
downtown Asheville, and ten miles west of Black Mountain. The 1,100 acre
campus is in a rural valley, surrounded by the Blue Ridge mountains. The
Swannanoa River passes through the middle of campus. Campus land includes the
forty acre main campus, a working farm, and hundreds of acres of forested land.
Hiking trails criss-cross the campus. In spite of the seeming isolation of the
campus, its close proximity to Asheville and Black Mountain provides for a variety
of off campus activities and cultural experiences.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of Warren Wilson. It is grounded in our rich
history of place and purpose, embedded by generations of community members
who have modeled our fundamental commitment to connect values to action. The
practice of sustainability flows from the College mission, which serves as our
compass for responsible citizenship, and from our unique liberal arts model of
engaged learning.

Library
The CHS Library is usually open to
students from 7:20am until 4:00pm.
Students must sign up for a pass in
order to go to the library during a
study hall. Any student may use the
library during a lunch period or an
unassigned period (1 or 9).
Students who wish to go to one of the academic tutorial labs should obtain a pass from
their subject area teacher and present that pass to their study hall teacher. Upon arriving
at the tutorial lab, students should be sure to sign in to document their attendance.
Students may attend a tutorial lab during their lunch period or an unassigned first or ninth
period without a pass.
All students may take advantage of the after school Conference Period to
meet with their own teachers for extra help.
Suggested Reading about the College Application Process
Good books give you helpful perspectives and food for thought on how
to approach the college process. The not-so-good ones use scare tactics
and lingo to convince you they know something no one else does about
beating the admissions “game.”
Colleges That Change Lives, Loren Pope
Less Stress, More Success, Kenneth Ginsburg and
Marilee Jones
The Gatekeepers, Jacques Steinberg
Building Resilience in Children and Teens, Kenneth
Ginsburg
College guides (such as Princeton Review, Yale Daily
News, and Fiske) are great too…just use them as a
starting point of exploration rather than the final
verdict on a particular place.
Also, check out:
College is a Journey, Not a Destination
This is a fabulous article to share with your child who
will be graduating in just 10 short months. It is a quick
read. It was written by Martha O’Connell, the executive
director of Colleges That Change Lives, a nonprofit
organization that focuses on a student-centered college
search process. Enjoy!
