Academics

Schalmont schools consistently meet and often exceed state standards for academic performance. As a result, most of those who graduate from Schalmont High School go on to some form of higher education. Many later become exceptional professionals, business owners and community members, and several have been honored for their achievements on the recently established Schalmont High School Alumni Wall of Distinction.

Beyond the Core Curriculum

Academics are at the heart of education, but Schalmont students also have a variety of extracurricular opportunities throughout their years in grade school. Many extracurricular programs, such as the Schalmont Math and Science Summer Academy, expand the learning experience beyond the classroom and offer unique, creative outlets for expression. Schalmont also has produced numerous Section II Class B championship athletic teams, award-winning musicians, accomplished artists, and civic-minded youth who volunteer their time to help community members in need.
