Why Altamont?

Altamont is a school where it is cool to be smart; where a top runner might star in a play or a science whiz might 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; where multiple language offerings include Latin, Greek, and Mandarin Chinese; where upholding the Honor Code is a source of pride.

Families are attracted to Altamont for several reasons: Altamont is a small family with socio-economic, ethnic (13% African-American and 31% Asian-American), and religious diversity. Altamont has an intensive, college preparatory academic program with a personalized college search program, including the annual college tour; Altamont offers many opportunities for children to develop multiple talents by participating in arts, foreign language, community service, clubs, class projects, science competitions and sports - all at the same time. We are busy!
