New school focuses on English -- and more
The New America School in Albuquerque's South Valley may be largely devoted to teaching English as a second language, but it's much more, including a traditional, diploma granting high school and an evening school for working adults.
The New America School-New Mexico is a public charter
high school dedicated to serving a unique population - recent immigrants and English
Language learners. NAS-NM will open its doors August 2009 in Albuquerque's South
Valley. Enrollment will begin in April 2009.
Click here to contact NAS-NM for information on enrollment. The school is
led by principal Dr. Janelle Taylor-Garcia. Dr. Garcia holds a PhD. in Education
Administration and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. She is a South Valley
native and a long-time education expert in the area. She is the former principal
of Bernalillo High School.
NAS-NM does not charge tuition or have admission requirements.
We are a fully accredited, publicly funded institution that serves teens and young
adults, ages 14 and up. Our highly qualified staff provides intensive English language
instruction and a rigorous academic curriculum to help students fulfill their dream
of a better future.
At The New America School we believe educational opportunity is a cornerstone of
American life and that English language skills are an essential component.
NAS was created to serve unenrolled students who might lack the English skills to
succeed in mainstream high schools. The program helps students thrive in high school,
and positions them for post-secondary education or whatever career options they
may pursue.
