CIEN AGUAS INTERNATIONAL

CIEN AGUAS INTERNATIONAL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the ALBUQUERQUE school district, located in ALBUQUERQUE, NM with about 423 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, CIEN AGUAS INTERNATIONAL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CIEN AGUAS INTERNATIONAL School (CAIS) is a public K-8 charter school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, distinguished by its commitment to rigorous academic standards and global citizenship. The school operates as a dual-language immersion program, where students receive instruction in both English and Spanish. This immersive environment is designed to foster high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy, ensuring that students develop strong proficiency in both languages by the time they graduate.

Beyond its linguistic focus, Cien Aguas emphasizes an inquiry-based approach to learning that aligns with the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. The curriculum is crafted to promote critical thinking, cultural awareness, and a sense of community responsibility. By integrating global perspectives into daily instruction, the school aims to prepare its students to excel in a diverse, interconnected world, providing a supportive and challenging educational foundation for children in the Albuquerque area.
