Skip to contentWhy It Matters
It matters because no student should ever have to walk past the gates of opportunity.
They deserve to walk through them — and rise.
At The Promontory Academy, we aren’t building a school to fit the past.
We’re building a launch point for the future.
We believe all students deserve an education where love and excellence are not separate, where real-world preparation begins early, and where heart and mind grow stronger together.
The world our students will inherit demands more than memorization.
It demands creative thinkers who can connect ideas across disciplines, ethical leaders who understand their place in a global community, resilient learners who adapt, innovate, and rise to new challenges, and visionaries who believe they can — and must — make a difference.
At Promontory, education isn’t a waiting game. It’s an urgent, joyful, and meaningful climb.
We believe in building foundations early, starting with strong global standards in 3rd–5th grade, preparing students to step boldly into the complexities of the world through our Global Challenges & Solutions (GC&S) model — where passion, preparation, and purpose meet.
This matters because their futures matter.
This matters because they deserve more than exclusive gates.
They deserve open horizons.
And At The Promontory Academy, we’re ready to climb with them.
The Future – Choose Your Path
Enter High School with a vision! When middle school ends, the climb to the summit is just beginning.
The Norgay Track — for future leaders, policymakers, educators, and human-centered innovators who want to guide, serve, and create positive impact in communities around the world.
The Hillary Track – for future scientists, engineers, and inventors who seek to build, discover, and pioneer groundbreaking solutions to the world’s greatest challenges.
Both tracks are rigorous, with intentional overlap in core skills.
But each pathway is designed to prepare students to reach their own new heights — just as Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary did in 1953, when they conquered Everest together.
At The Promontory Academy, “college prep” starts early — beginning in middle school.
Our students aren’t just prepared for college admissions; they are prepared to lead.
By the time application season arrives, we expect our students to be more than college-ready — they will be positioned ahead of their graduating peers, with a powerful academic record, real-world achievements, and a clear story to tell.
(And yes — we’ll help you through every step of the college application process!)
