College Guidance and Placement

Albuquerque Academy graduates continue their education in many top-tier universities and other institutions around the country.  Graduates are well-prepared to succeed at the best colleges and universities  because of our high academic standards, rigorous curriculum, and unique learning experiences. In recent years, the typical graduating class consists of around 160 students who matriculate at over 85 colleges in 30 plus states and other countries as well.

Full-time college advisers supervise a thorough plan of guidance, including:

  • Identifying suitable colleges
  • Managing the application process (including taking appropriate standardized tests)
  • Applying for need-based financial aid and/or merit scholarships

Students undertake the main work of researching, choosing, and applying to their top-choice colleges. Parents also stay involved in the process during their students’ years at the Academy through an ongoing program of annual College Guidance presentations on admission, financial aid, financial planning, and course selection, as well as family sessions with the college advisers.
