All-boys middle school hopes to start in fall

Story here. Excerpt:

'The move toward single-sex classrooms is a growing trend around the nation and in Western North Carolina.

Eight public schools in North Carolina offer single-sex education, according to the National Association for Single Sex Public Education.

Asheville is home to Hanger Hall, a private middle school for girls, as well as to some single-sex classes within coed private schools. Carolina Day School's middle school, for example, has single-sex classes for core subjects.

Yeiser hopes to use Hanger Hall as a model. The school was started by Howard Hanger 10 years ago because he wanted something different for his daughters' education. The school now has 63 students.'
