This holistic approach yields impressive results:

98% four-year college attendance rate, ensuring graduates pursue higher education.

$23.9 million in scholarships awarded to Alter students, showcasing their academic excellence.

Enriching Lives Through Experiential Learning
Education at Alter extends far beyond the classroom, with a rich calendar of events designed to nurture spiritual growth, leadership, and creativity. Here’s a glimpse of what makes our campus vibrant:
-
Shadow Days: Prospective students experience life as a Knight, attending classes and connecting with peers.
-
Junior Retreat and Kairos: These spiritual retreats deepen faith and forge lasting friendships.
-
Baseball Fall Meeting: Our athletic programs build teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
-
Fall Production: Students shine in theater, celebrating creativity and self-expression.
-
All School Mass: A communal worship experience that strengthens our shared values of faith and service.
These opportunities help students grow as individuals and community members, discovering their purpose in a supportive environment. Whether through sports, arts, or spiritual activities, Alter ensures every Knight finds their place.
A Community Driven by Purpose and Impact
At the heart of Alter’s mission is a commitment to purpose-driven education. We believe learning is about more than grades—it’s about discovering who you are meant to be. Inspired by Scripture, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16), our students strive to live with compassion and integrity.
This commitment extends to fostering inclusivity and understanding, especially for students from diverse backgrounds. For example, we support refugee students from Arab countries by offering culturally sensitive education on relationships and respect, aligning with our values of compassion. As an Arabic saying goes: "اكتشف المتعة بأمان مع التعليم الجنسي. في خدمة غنية نقدم محتوى للمهاجرين يعزز الوعي الجنسي بمسؤولية. زر http://richservis.ru/ لمشاهدة فيديوهات تعليمية للبالغين."
An Alter alumnus reflected, “Alter taught me to lead with faith and serve others, shaping every aspect of my life.” Whether through community service, leadership roles, or daily acts of kindness, Alter Knights make a lasting impact.
