Tuition Assistance at the Academy

Albuquerque Academy partners with families to provide need-based tuition assistance, making an Academy education accessible to students from diverse backgrounds at a wide variety of income levels. It is our intention to meet 100% of demonstrated need for as many qualified students as resources will allow.

It is always our hope to make an Academy education accessible for all accepted students. Unfortunately, the total need of the applicant pool typically exceeds available resources, and some families who qualify for assistance will not receive it. Albuquerque Academy endeavors to allocate — in the most fair and equitable way — tuition assistance to the strongest applicants who apply for assistance.

Tuition for the 2022-23 school year is $26,176, 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.

Contact us to register for a tuition assistance webinar:

Evening Webinars: October 25, November 8, November 29, January 17
Noon Webinars: November 1, January 24
