Introducing ALTUS TALKS! 🎙️✨

Altus Talks is a new podcast, self-produced by the 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at Altus Academy.

In our very first episode we host our principal, Mr. Villegas, and ask him different questions about how he started here at Altus and what his future plans for the school are. The students in class completely self-produced this episode in its entirety: booking the guest, researching & planning the interview, recording the interview, editing it & releasing it.

You can find Altus Talks on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify by simply searching "Altus Talks". You can also find us on the internet at https://altustalks.altusacademy.org/

We have many more episodes to come, so please tune in, subscribe & tell your friends!

We are truly grateful to receive the STOP Award from The Center for Education Reform (CER). Altus Academy will receive a grant of $250,000- this will allow us to enroll 25 students in grades 1-5, most of whom have missed a year of school and are significantly behind their peers.
