Student Life

At Altamont academics, athletics, the arts and extracurricular activities are intertwined, creating a seamless fabric of programs and activities designed to stimulate personal growth, learning and sense of community. Rather than being pigeon-holed, students are encouraged to take advantage of many and diverse opportunities to discover more about themselves and their world.

"Teachers trust us and give us a lot of freedom. The classes are challenging, but really fun. I have never been happier in any school environment."
--- Marlie, Class of '08
