THE GREAT ACADEMY

THE GREAT ACADEMY is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the THE GREAT ACADEMY school district, located in ALBUQUERQUE, NM with about 151 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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 8 teachers, THE GREAT ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

THE GREAT ACADEMY (TGA), located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a state-chartered public school that serves students in grades 6 through 12. The school distinguishes itself through a specialized curriculum that places a heavy emphasis on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility. By integrating these real-world economic concepts into their core academic studies, the academy aims to equip students with the practical skills and mindset necessary to succeed in a modern, globalized economy, moving beyond traditional textbook learning to foster self-sufficiency and long-term career preparedness.

In addition to its focus on economic education, THE GREAT ACADEMY maintains a mission centered on providing a rigorous, safe, and supportive environment that meets the individual needs of its diverse student body. The school utilizes a personalized approach to instruction, emphasizing critical thinking, problem-solving, and the development of character. By creating a culture that balances high academic expectations with a commitment to individual student growth, TGA seeks to prepare its graduates not only for college-level academic rigor but also for the complexities of personal finance and professional life.
