About
Academics
Altamont offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum. Every class is taught at the Honors level. Our curriculum includes numerous AP offerings, college-level mathematics, sciences, world languages, and a multitude of fine arts and elective courses. Faculty advisors meet with students individually on a regular basis and collectively on a daily basis.
Admissions
Altamont seeks highly motivated students who crave greater breadth and challenge in all areas of school life. Prospective parents and students can experience life at Altamont by attending an open house, touring campus, scheduling a student shadow day, or attending an exhibit, concert, play, or athletic event.
Arts
Altamont enjoys a long tradition of excellence in the arts built on quality instruction, variety of offerings, and students’ freedom to explore interests. The arts are vital to the core education of each student as the skills developed in an enriched arts curriculum can be applied to learning in all subjects.
