ALBUQUERQUE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

What ALBUQUERQUE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL does

Albuquerque Christian School (ACS) is a private, non-profit Christian educational institution founded in 1982 and headquartered at 4931 Mcleod Rd NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The school serves approximately 150-300 students across a vertically integrated age range from infant care (6 weeks) through 8th grade, organized into three core programs: Early Education (Lamb Club, PK2, PreK3, PreK4), Elementary (K-5), and Middle School (6-8). Its core product is a faith-integrated academic curriculum that combines Biblical worldview instruction with standard educational competencies, supplemented by an athletics program (APIAL league), competitive academic events (Speech Meet, Spelling Bee, Science Challenge), community service, and summer programming (Summer Rams Club, Summer Phonics & Math Camp, Basketball Training Camp).

ACS operates on a subscription-recurring tuition model with annual billing cycles, complemented by donation revenue collected through the Zeffy platform and event-based fundraising (car shows, craft fairs, Run for the Zoo, blood drives). Financial aid is available for qualifying families. The school utilizes the RenWeb/FACTS school management platform for enrollment and student information, Koalendar for visit scheduling, and integrates with the National School Breakfast/Lunch Program for free meals to all New Mexico students. The go-to-market approach is community-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on campus tours, parent referrals within the Albuquerque faith community, and community events rather than paid acquisition.

The institution is governed by a Board of Trustees (led by President Scott Nance since 2008) and operated under Principal Tami Perez. With only 9 employees, ACS operates as a small, community-rooted institution without venture capital, private equity, or institutional investor involvement. Its mission — "Equipping Students to be Jesus in their World" — anchors all programmatic decisions and faculty hiring requirements, which explicitly mandate devout Christian values.
