Open Days offer an open opportunity

Altum Classical Academy is opening its doors soon, offering a distinctive approach to learning that goes beyond the status quo. Curious about what makes Altum different? If you want your child to thrive in life, not just school, join us at an upcoming Open Day and discover an education designed to inspire.

A school unlike any other

The founders of Altum Classical Academy have a vision of cultivating wise, articulate young people, equipped to lead fulfilling lives. Alongside the knowledge-rich curriculum, each student will also learn the value of self-discipline, kindness and respect.

It's been observed that young people exposed to this kind of education don’t tend to sit around twiddling their thumbs, but go on to make valuable contributions to their community, economy and nation.

When Altum Classical Academy opens next year it will operate as a charter high school without fees or a prescribed curriculum. Starting with years 7 , 8 and 9, Altum intends to add a new year level each year until the school has built up to the full complement of years 7 to 13, by 2030. Interest is high and as awareness grows, and we expect the 100 places for the coming year will quickly be filled.

Visit the site and meet the teachers

Things are developing quickly over at Altum Academy’s site in Wilton, Wellington; and if a drive-by isn’t enough to satisfy your curiosity, you’ll get a better look at the facilities on one of their two upcoming Open Days.

December is a busy time of year, so they’ve set up two dates in the hope that one of them will fit your schedule:

  • Sunday 7th December, 2:00-3:30pm
  • Tuesday 9th December, 7:00-8:30pm

For parents wishing to give their child a quality education, Classical Academy is an exciting prospect. We invite you to come and meet the principal and staff, explore the grounds and find out more about Altum Academy’s extraordinary educational offering.
