Altamont is a great small private school in the heart of Birmingham! The teachers care so much, and it prepares students so well for college.

We have two children at Altamont. Our children couldn't be happier. The teacher's care about them and know them -- at their core. Our son has a passion for Latin and STEM. Our daughter loves the arts, English and History. The Altamont School, their teachers, their advisors and their peers have helped our children find themselves. We highly recommend Altamont.

I loved going to Altamont. After being there for 7 years, I don't think another school could have better prepared me for college.
