New Charter School Blends AI and New Mexico Heritage | Santa Fe News

A bold new charter school, Andalusia Natural Sciences Academy, is poised to launch in Albuquerque next year, blending AI literacy and project-based STEM with New Mexico’s rich Spanish colonial and Middle Eastern heritage. Targeting immigrant and English learner communities, it aims to start small with 9th and 10th graders, expand to all four high school grades within four years, and serve around 400 students. With smaller classes and culturally rooted, hands-on learning, ANSA seeks to build critical thinking through real-world tech use — all while navigating enrollment challenges in a shrinking public school system. The Albuquerque School Board votes on its approval August 19 — a chance to reshape education with culture, tech, and community at its core.
