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 children absolutely loved the Academy! It's a place where they not only excelled academically but also developed meaningful lifelong friendships and values. They have been very well-prepared for both college and for life! I couldn't be happier with their school choice.

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.
