School Notes

The academic program at Albuquerque Academy is at the heart of
our school, and the school`s mission is lived out daily in the wide
array of rich learning experiences we offer students. Whether they
are participating in Model UN, coding in AP statistics, contrasting
the philosophies of Zen Buddhism with those of western thinkers, or
critiquing a portfolio of self-portraits, we aim to nurture
children`s natural passion for learning and to instill habits of
life-long curiosity and reflection.
Our approach to teaching, to student leadership, to community
service, and to the many other aspects of school life reflects our
hope that we will model and instill in students our most deeply
held values of kindness, empathy, creativity, inclusion, justice,
life-long learning, and connection to the natural world and to the
Southwest. We believe that a liberal arts education is vital to
becoming a global citizen in a world where future jobs have not yet
been fully imagined, and we believe our students graduate from the
Academy knowing how to think; how to understand their own worldview
and those of others; how to find and then evaluate information; how
to construct and analyze an argument; and how to communicate
clearly, authentically, and diplomatically.
We also believe that students leave our school with an
internalized sense of the Academy`s mission - that it is their
privilege and responsibility to serve country and community with
wisdom, conviction, and compassion.

Great school, great food, great campus, great teachers, and great response to COVID. Offers a wide range of clubs, from guitar to track. Student's will love it here, and most resources are supplied by the school. However, based on what I have seen, tuition is a tad bit high.

I have two girls grade 6 and 8 at the Academy. Both are thriving and love their school. Academic requirements are very challenging and they encourage the kids to grow in knowledge, maturity and awareness of others. I could not have designed a better program for my girls.

Cross country and track are amazing. I got very fit. Guitar is fun and there are many after school activities. There is also a club swim team. Ex Ed is camping and we camp on private land in bear canyon and it is great.
