The Altamont School is an independent, coeducational college preparatory day school in Birmingham, Alabama. It serves students in grades 5 through 12 across a Middle School and an Upper School. Altamont formed in 1975 through the merger of two older schools. These were Birmingham University School, founded in 1922, and Brooke Hill School, founded in 1941. The 28-acre campus sits on Red Mountain, just south of downtown Birmingham. The main building holds 40 classrooms, science labs, a theater, an art gallery and a 3-D printing lab. Students also have access to debate, internships, experiential learning and a one-to-one laptop program. The C. Kyser Miree Ethical Leadership Center supports character and leadership work. More than 50 teachers also coach sports, sponsor clubs and advise students. The school holds accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
