Get to Know Our School
We provide exceptional instruction and experiences in our Preschool and Pre-K, kindergarten and elementary grades. Students participate in a broad range of intellectual, artistic, and physical activities. They are challenged to become productive, responsible, and caring people by learning sound values, compassion, and ethical behavior.
Our students are encouraged to think and act independently, develop good study habits, solve problems, and think critically. It is our purpose to give children a strong foundation upon which to build their future educational and life experiences — an investment which will pay interest for a lifetime. 98% of our students get accepted into private middle schools such as Albuquerque Academy, Bosque School, and Sandia Prep.
