Information and Updates about COVID-19

Please find below the latest updates of Alto International School’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the 2020-2021 school year, Alto International School is preparing for students in K – 12 to return to campus. Please read below to learn more about Alto’s preparations and planning process.

Preparing for the Return of Students (K – 12) During the 2020-2021 School Year (Updated August 7, 2020)

For students in K – 12, the 2020-21 school year will begin virtually. However, at the same time Alto International School is actively preparing for the return to campus of those students at some point during the 2020-21 school year. Since the preschool adheres to a different set of guidelines, our preschool students returned to campus in August.

The return to on-campus teaching is based on The Four Pillars concept outlined by the San Mateo County Health Office. Even though this framework does not return the learning environment to pre-COVID-19 times, we must keep in mind that the primary goal of students returning to school for the 2020-21 school year is to maximize instructional time and provide an excellent learning environment.
