Our values
Caring
We deeply care about the well-being of those around us, including the team and partners we work with, and the applicants they represent.
Driven
We strive for excellence and aim to produce our best work that helps us achieve our company vision.
Curious
We encourage experimentation to feed our innate desire to learn and to push our company forward.
Altus empowers higher education institutions to look beyond book smarts, and to identify and nurture exceptional professionals by using unique data to generate meaningful insights that influence key academic decisions.
We do this primarily through Casper, a suite of admissions tools that helps schools look beyond book smarts, seeing a clearer, more holistic view of applicants. It’s used by over 360 academic partners in Canada, the US, Australia (and growing!) with 150,000+ applicants taking the test each year, including 80% of all Canada and US medical school applicants. We also host the Admissions Summit, an annual 2-day conference, and power the Alo Grant, an annual $100,000 research fund.
