"When we relocated from Texas, one of our greatest concerns was being able to provide our children a similar education to the one that we had both received.  We were aware that New Mexico was not commended for public education and really were not sure what to expect from the private curriculum.  After a little research, we flew in for a 48 hour trip to New Mexico, at which time we interviewed all of the schools that we thought met our goals for the kids. The administration and our son’s prospective teacher took a lot of time to answer our questions and alleviate our concerns during that short visit. Today, it remains the same – open communication between the parents and teachers is key to our continued commitment to Sunset Mesa.Since our relocation, we have enrolled our two younger children in the Sunset Mesa pre-school Montessori program and we could not be happier with our choice. Kelly and I continue to be surprised by the advanced level of the curriculum and the ability that Sunset Mesa has demonstrated to keep each of our children confident, happy, and challenged academically while helping them to grow socially and spiritually."

"We joined the Sunset Mesa family three years ago when our children were starting Preschool and Pre-K. We were new to Albuquerque and we knew from our first visit that we had found a home-away-from-home at Sunset Mesa. The genuine warmth of the teachers and staff made us feel immediately welcome and established the basis for a partnership of family and school in education.

To this day, it is the atmosphere of calm on both campuses that continues to impress us most at Sunset Mesa. We appreciate the quantitatively excellent academic instruction and the commitment of the teachers to fostering a love of learning. However, it is the more qualitative continuous coaching in respectful and considerate conduct that we truly cherish because it is consistent with our desire to raise two responsible, thoughtful, independent, and fun kids.

We are very grateful that our children have been able to begin their education in the warm, and talented Sunset Mesa community."
