The Altamont School

Picture a school where it's cool to be smart; where a top runner might star in a play, a science whiz tutor a younger peer in English, or a once-shy student might become the class president; where passionate teachers go the extra mile for every student every day; where the arts are as important as athletics; where students of different backgrounds and cultures share in the process of discovery; where reading is revered; and where upholding the Honor Code is a source of real pride. Picture The Altamont School, a place devoted to educating New Renaissance Students. Our core competencies prepare our students for entering a world of change, where they'll face problems we can't yet imagine. At Atlamont, we're not simply preparing students to enter a "good" college, although our college attendance list stacks up with those of the best independent schools in the United States. Rather, we're helping them reach deep within themselves to become masters of their own lifelong journeys of discovery. At the end of the day, The Altamont School is about preparing each student to live a more meaningful life and shape a more livable world.
