UPDATED May 4, 2020

To our Think Academy Programs parents and students:

It is with a heavy heart — and out of great concern for the health and safety of our students, families, and employees at Albuquerque Academy — I am letting you know that we have cancelled our 2020 Think Academy Summer and ThinkIt! academic-enrichment and fine-arts classes, camps, and athletic programs. Given the current national and statewide effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not feel we can safely provide summer programming this year.

We will be providing full (100%) refunds to all families who registered.

• If you paid by CASH or CHECK, please allow up to 10 working days from receipt of your withdrawal confirmation for your check to be processed and mailed.
• If you paid by CREDIT or DEBIT CARD, our processing bank will provide an automated refund to your credit card in approximately 7-10 working days.
• Refunds will be made only to the payor, i.e., the person who made the tuition payment.

Questions? Important Think Academy Summer Information

Why did you cancel?

• We reached this decision after thoughtful deliberation and thorough scenario planning with Albuquerque Academy’s administrative leadership.
• Working together, we determined that opening campus would require implementing social-distancing strategies that do not work with the size, scope, and complexity of our summer program.
• Unfortunately, our overall program design and emphasis on active, hands-on learning does not lend itself to online learning.

Will you offer any programing later this summer? Can my student attend the ThinkIt! Program in July?

• As of right now, we are canceling all summer programming. We do not feel we can safely provide any summer programming this year.

My student was awarded a 2020 Multicultural Summer Honors scholarship. Will there be another chance for them to attend this program?

• We will be inviting all 2020 scholarship recipients to join us in 2021. Your student does not need reapply.
• Please watch your email for further information.

My student attends Albuquerque Academy and is enrolled in for-credit summer course. Will you be offering those courses?

• We do intend to offer most of these courses through an online platform.
• Please watch your email for further information.

I have additional questions. How can I contact you?

• If you have questions that our FAQs do not address, please send an email to Summer_Mail@aa.edu

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have been adjusting, like you, to the drastic changes in our lives during the last several weeks. I hope you and your family remain safe and healthy, and we hope you again consider Think Academy Summer programs for 2021.

Respectfully,

Josh Buchanan

Director, Think Academy Programs
