ALTUS.SCHOOL
School of "Inspired Life Experience" beyond the classroom, from Industry Leaders, for exceptional High School students who need opportunities to make a difference in the world, but unfortunately can't find them.A Harvard Business School PLD graduate and Alumni initiative to inspire the next generation of student leaders
WHAT WE DO:
We are the only live mentorship platform where Industry leaders & Top School / Ivy League alumni networks share wisdom, life experience, opportunities, and skills with unconventional high school students who dream of making a difference for themselves and the world, yet don’t have the opportunity or the resources to do so.
Isolation during COVID times has robbed these students of their dreams and numbed them.
We rekindle the spirit, purpose, dreams, and access to opportunities.
We help them “Rise Higher.”

students are living in a "mind prison"?
Students see no hope? Grades have taken a plunge. They are depressed, irritated and they are concerned about their future. They cannot give life meaning and they are numb. They lack creativity and the power of expression and they feel lost. Because of the isolation, they have no mentors, coaches, and people to connect with.
You are not alone in this “Mind Prison”. Millions of students are going through this. It’s time we come together and solve these problems.
We solve these problems head-on!
We share life experiences so that you can walk in our shoes. We get on live Zoom calls and have a plain discussion about life!
We strengthen students’ VALUES! We create a path for the students FUTURE! We build their internal compass, their PURPOSE!
We make students STRONG! We help them get a grip on LIFE and not let that slide. We create OPPORTUNITIES.
A FIRESIDE CHAT "DISCOURSE"
is our model that inspires deep insightsto build purpose, clarity, leadership, connections, relationships and meaning in life!
COACHING SESSIONS
We call these “Inspired Life Experience ” sessions, which are two-way discussions. We structure these sessions based on tracks or themes.
What are these themes?
Note: We strongly suggest that you view the website from your computer, instead of a smartphone because of the content details.
THEME: 60 MINUTE TO LIFE journey
Students learn through the “Life Journey” of others who succeeded despite all odds. Tough times never last; tough people do. Strengthen your “Why” and build a purpose. Rest follows!
THEME: 60 MINUTE TO SKILL
You have to know about the “Workforce of the Future”. Having the right technical skills, communication, professional connections, entrepreneurial and financial skills is a must for freedom.
THEME: 60 MINUTE TO HEALTH
Human beings are out of balance. We are all seeking things outside without going equally deep inside. Yin and Yang need to balance each other. Learn spiritual, emotional, and physical health here.
THEME: 60 MINUTE TO POWER
Having “power” doesn’t mean you need to dominate others. To make the world better and solve problems, you need to build internal power to create that change, instead of giving it out. Learn it here!
one cannot soar with broken wings
To rise higher, get your "basics" right first. We will create the opportunities for you.“Altus” in Latin means “to elevate, to rise higher, to soar”
LIFE EXPERIENCE = PERSPECTIVE = ACTION = SUCCESS:
Students lack “life experience,” especially during the COVID times. Most students were interested in “things” and “gizmos” instead of people, relationships, and perspectives because of the lack of access.
We bring that to students.
Let us look at a perspective now. Watch the videos below.

It is our responsibility to help them pivot into Top Schools, be aligned with the industry, be professionally networked, financially savvy, and build entrepreneurial ventures that make the world a better place.

A Word
From The Founder
"The world is changing rapidly. The old rules don't apply. Social isolation has numbed an entire generation of students who hardly have the life experience to learn and share, thus have nearly no purpose, and cannot give life a meaning.
We need to get back to basics during a crisis and mentor students on webcon what they cannot learn at home or school.
A Platform like Altus School, where leaders in the industry share their life experience, lessons learned, and their life journey with students is long due".
- Subhashish Acharya(Subs)
happiness is back slowly but surely
Change your environment, change yourselfLife is a “feedback loop”. Look for small wins everyday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please check the FAQ sections to understand us a little better. We keep things simple. This is a human impact model by a group of people who believe they can make a BIG difference. We don't know what to expect as no one has built a platform to help students like this, and if this model works. We will at least give it a shot if Parents and Students can cooperate. We are motivated by helping individuals than trying to change the world! The story below is our guideline.
Does the word "Altus" have a meaning?
Yes! It absolutely does. Altus in Latin means "to rise higher" to "elevate oneself". The word altitude also derives from the word "Altus." We stand for rising higher during COVID. That's our motto and vision.
Cost of Participation
There is NO cost to participants. It is a choice for parents and students. We personally believe that in the end, only a handful will be interested because it will take discipline and leadership to stick around.
Standards & Ethics
We maintain absolutely high standards and ethics on these engagement calls. Bad behavior, disturbing people, and making bad remarks/opinions are NOT tolerated.
Can Parents & Teachers attend?
Please do! Yes, parents and teachers are welcome and we appreciate their participation. As long people do not violate standards and ethics, we are good. Remember Standards and Ethics cover everyone.
Politics, Race, Gender discussions
We keep these elements out of this platform. Period! We focus on human elements and leadership only. Everyone is equal, every opinion is equal but sensitive topics like those are NOT to be discussed on this platform. Thanks for understanding!
