Founded by passionate educators determined to level the educational playing field, Altum Classical Academy is both an opportunity and a privilege. We invite you to join us as we begin to scale the heights.
A commitment to do one’s best in every endeavour — academic, artistic, and moral. Families and students value diligence, high standards, and perseverance over ease or convenience.
A genuine enthusiasm for ideas, discovery, and the life of the mind. We welcome students who are curious and families who nurture wonder and delight in knowledge.
A willingness to engage positively in the school community — showing courtesy, cooperation, and gratitude toward teachers, peers, and parents alike.
An understanding that Altum’s classical, character-forming approach is central to who we are. Families affirm and uphold the school’s mission to educate for truth, virtue, and wisdom.
Parents see themselves as partners in the moral and intellectual growth of their children — ready to communicate openly, model integrity, and reinforce the habits of good character at home.
*As a state-funded charter school, Altum will accept all students who apply until capacity is met.
To begin your enrolment journey please book a tour with our principal or fill out the first stage of our enrolment form.
Altum Classical Academy has a vision that reaches beyond our Wellington campus. If you are a New Zealand registered teacher, or have past teaching experience, we would be interested in hearing from you.
