Community Health
The Altamont School is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all of our faculty, staff, students and parents.
Student Support Services
Altamont maintains extensive resources to support student mental health, including two full-time counselors, individual attention, guides to difficult conversations, and a parent/counselor book club.
Physical Fitness
Altamont is dedicated to the health of the whole person. Our Athletics Department takes this mission to heart, giving students a foundation for lifelong health. Approximately half of our students make a further investment by participating in athletic teams. To make that experience as safe as possible we offer resources related to injury prevention, training facilities and the student health forms required for participation.
