Young Altario School Farmers Understand Responsibility

With temperatures below -40 degrees Celsius school events are canceled, busses don't run, few students make their way to school, and we generally hunker down and wait for temperatures that are far less frigid for regular school activities to resume.

The young farmers (students) at Altario Agriculture Academy do not take a day off because they know their animals need to be fed and cared for. Even on weekends, students make their way to school and do the daily chores. There are no days off in agriculture, and the students of Altario School are learning this at a young age.

Speaking with leaders in a variety of industries, I hear about the need for employees who have  a strong work ethic, who have a keen sense of responsibility, and have a drive for self-improvement.  Our agriculture program teaches all of this and more.

Not all Altario students will work in the agriculture industry, but our program is setting them up for success in their careers. They are future leaders of many industries thanks to the understanding of what responsibility is when you have animals that need your attention. They know they have to get out of bed, brave the elements, have initiative, and get the chores done!

Students learn no matter the weather, the animals must be cared for every morning.
