I adored my experience at the Albuquerque Academy. It is no doubt the best independent school in New Mexico and thoroughly prepares its students for life after high school. The culture is friendly, the academics are challenging, and the sports teams are competitive. Overall, it is was an amazing 7 years as a student and I will look back on my time there fondly.

My 2 children went to this school and each had a different experience. While both children were strong academically, one was an athlete and the other a musician. The Academy prepared both children very well for college and a successful life.

I am a parent of a student at AA. During his tenure at the Academy, I have seen my child grow socially, academically, and in his responsibility levels more than I could have ever imagined. The Academy is helping my son find his way in the world; and he is happy doing so. The Academy's breadth of pro...
