Overview
The Arlington School provides an individualized education experience to a wide variety of students.
While there is no one "type" of student at The Arlington School, many of our students come here because, in one way or another, their needs were not met at a larger public or private school because of our small size, it is possible to address the many issues that middle school and high school students normally face.
Problems which are usually ignored in a traditional educational system.
At The Arlington School we recognize that there is more to learning than what occurs in the classroom.
In fact, a student's entire life affects his/her education. We believe that providing the best education possible means more than just teaching subjects.
The mission of The Altamont School is to improve the fabric of society by graduating compassionate, well-educated individuals capable of independent thinking and innovative ideas.
The school attracts, nurtures, and challenges students whose commitment to truth, knowledge, and honor will prepare them not only for the most rigorous college programs, but also for productive lives. Altamont is a family of 360 students in grades 5-12 with socio-economic, ethnic, and religious diversity.
Altamont is a good choice for students who want greater breadth and challenge in all areas of school life.
We combine a college preparatory program with a personalized college search program.
Students participate in arts, world languages, community service, clubs, class projects, and athletics.
They also benefit from a 1-to-1 laptop program, an advanced computer science curriculum, and unparalleled service leadership opportunities through Altamont`s Miree Center.
