An applicant’s academic record, the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE), interview and teacher recommendations are all considered in the admissions evaluation. Personal references are important, but the admissions committee accepts students based on academic ability and the behaviors required by the Altamont Honor Code and Standards for Students as outlined in the student handbook.

Students must take a minimum of five major subjects each year, and must accumulate 23 ½ credits to graduate.
