Albuquerque Academy Fund

Albuquerque Academy Fund

The Albuquerque Academy Fund provides an opportunity for all members and friends of the school to secure the continued quality of an Academy education. Each year the Academy Fund raises money critical to balancing the school’s operating budget for maintaining quality programming. Participation serves as an expression of confidence and appreciation for the school and a recognition of what makes the Academy exceptional. The number of participants grows the fund much more effectively than the size of each gift. The fund benefits every facet of the school’s operation. 

When making a gift to the Albuquerque Academy Fund, donors have the opportunity to indicate an area of impact they wish to support.

Area of Greatest Need

Unrestricted gifts to the Academy Fund help provide the difference between tuition revenue and the support necessary to full fund an Academy education each year. They also ensure our faculty and staff are fully supported in delivering the mission for our students, but provide flexibility as new needs, programs, and objectives come about.

Financial Assistance

A key aspect of the school's mission is to devote our resources to ensure economic accessibility to our students. Therefore, Albuquerque Academy partners with families each year to provide need-based tuition assistance, making an Academy education accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, at a wide variety of income levels. Nearly $5 million is provided in financial assistance, allowing us to offer an exceptional education to Academy students today, and the generations yet to come.

Student Life

The Academy isn't just an education - it's a way of life! By making a donation dedicated to student life, our dedicated club sponsors, athletic coaches, and faculty and staff are supported in ensuring students experience Academy life at its fullest. These generous contributions help provide unparalleled school experiences through all opportunities offered at the Academy.

Computing Initiatives

Albuquerque Academy's Computing Department provides opportunities for students to deliberately participate, collaborate, solve problems, and exercise creativity in a technology-driven setting where the extraordinary pace of change is, at times, both exhilarating and unsettling. As our world becomes more connected, it is imperative that our students are comfortable, confident, and well prepared for a safe journey through an ever-changing digital environment. The newly launched department offers a series of courses and experiences in using technology, data analysis, and computation to think about issues across disciplines in all divisions, including CyberChargers (6-12), Coding Club (6-7), and VEX Robotics (8-9). As students have more opportunities to collaborate and create, they build confidence in their abilities to harness and direct the awesome power of computing. New ideas and opportunities will come to them as they begin to imagine the part they can play as a leader, builder, and designer in a world we have yet to imagine. Gifts supporting computing initiatives will help give our students access to the teaching, tools, and ideas they need to learn and grow in today's connected world. 

Future Fund

The Academy Future Fund will allow for innovative initiatives in curriculum, pedagogy, and programs to be explored, providing maximum flexibility for our school to be a nimble, visionary leader in education. Gifts supporting the future fund will help Head of School Julianne Puente, along with faculty and staff, bring new ideas to our ever-adapting program. Simply put, this fund will turn dreams into reality as the school enters a new era. Donors who wish to provide the school with maximum flexibility will ensure a legacy of forward-looking behavior and readiness for the future, supporting initiatives that allow students to grow to understand the greater world and how they can go out and serve it with wisdom, conviction, and compassion.
