Hear from Students

The students are great. Everyone is so friendly, even the older kids. (Mom says I spend too much time socializing.) Changing classes and teachers is like college and I love that. After-school help saves my life on a regular basis. --- Hayden, Class of ’12

Mark Twain wrote, “Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.” For me, Altamont is a place of great people. --- Ashley, class of ’88

The best things about Altamont are the quality of teaching and the open intellectual environment that the school fosters. It was obvious to me when I was there that my teachers loved their subjects and had a genuine interest in the lives of the students. --- Stewart, Class of ’90
