Admission

We Want to Meet Your Child!

At Albuquerque Academy, we create an educational experience that shapes eager students into purposeful, ethical, independent learners. Our students come from more than 80 different schools throughout greater Albuquerque and around the world, and they all share one thing: an insatiable curiosity.

The diversity of our student body fosters mutual respect and the sharing of unique ideas, important components of learning and growing. Your child, too, has unique gifts and talents that can benefit from and be served by our community. We’d love to meet your family.

Tuition for the 2023-24 school year is $27,066, which includes the academic experience, lunch, and most extracurriculars. It does not cover the cost of some textbooks, bookstore incidentals, and laptops in grades 8-12.

Full and Partial Tuition Assistance Available: Students from all economic backgrounds are welcomed and supported at Albuquerque Academy. Admission to the Academy is based on merit, and the financial needs of families who apply for tuition assistance are considered in a separate, confidential process. Nearly one-quarter of our student body receives tuition assistance — from partial awards for students from families who earn relatively higher incomes or may be supporting multiple children at the Academy to full awards for students from families with more limited resources. The average award is $17,532. You can count on the admission and tuition assistance teams to partner with your family to do what we can to make an Academy education possible for your child.
