NEW MEXICO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

NEW MEXICO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is a public charter elementary school that is part of the ALBUQUERQUE school district, located in ALBUQUERQUE, NM with about 225 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 11 teachers, NEW MEXICO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

NEW MEXICO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (NMIS) is a tuition-free, state-chartered public school located in Albuquerque that serves students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Distinguished by its status as an IB (International Baccalaureate) World School, NMIS focuses on the Primary Years Programme (PYP). This curriculum is designed to foster international-mindedness, academic rigor, and a sense of global responsibility, encouraging students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The school is well-regarded for its language immersion programming, specifically offering tracks in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese, which allows students to develop proficiency in a second language alongside their core academics. By integrating inquiry-based learning with a multicultural perspective, NMIS creates a structured yet exploratory environment. The school emphasizes critical thinking and personal development, aiming to prepare its diverse student body for future success in an increasingly interconnected global society.
