Building for success.
At ACE, we believe that school should improve young peoples’ lives, not create one more challenge to overcome.
Our school is a safe and caring place where students discover their unique strengths, grow, and thrive. We make sure that every student — whether returning to school after an absence, raising a family, or holding down a job — has the individualized support they need to succeed.
ACE offers practical experiences and expert connections that prepare our students for success in life and work.
We are free, local, and public, and we have been firmly grounded in our community since 2010. We focus on practical projects instead of tests and partner with leaders in New Mexico’s ACE industries to get everyone learning on their feet rather than cramped behind a desk. We all know the world of work is changing, and education should too.

Our families say…
“[ACE] has been a great school for my son. I feel they are doing a great job preparing him for the future. Can’t say enough about how great the staff are.”
ACE does high school differently.
We champion a new vision of learning defined by care, hands-on learning, and community connections. Our team of educators works together to support students on all levels — academic, mental and physical. We make home visits, deliver meals, work within students’ existing commitments, and connect families with the resources they need. We know that our students are tomorrow’s leaders, and we dedicate ourselves to preparing them with the tools, support, and connections they need to thrive.
At ACE, education is active.
Our curriculum is practical and hands-on, emphasizing projects that teach real skills and put academic concepts to work. Our industry partners bridge the gap between learning and doing, ensuring our students get the experience, skills, and credentials they need to succeed after graduation. Rather than focusing on lectures and seat time, ACE shifts the focus of high school education onto real world projects and experiences that allow students to put what they’re learning into practice.

Our educators say…
“Knowing something for a test and knowing something for a project is a different type of knowing. Projects teach the students how to problem solve!”
Since 2010, ACE has partnered with New Mexico’s architecture, construction, and engineering industries.
These connections allow us to engage young people who love to design, build, and learn through hands-on projects. Every year we connect ACE students to industry leaders for mentorship and real life learning opportunities. New Mexico professionals join us in the classroom and help design our projects. These vital connections support our students and offer opportunities to give back to the place we all call home.
ACE is a community school.
To us, that means that we invest our time, effort, and ideas to leave the places we live a little — or a lot — better. We know that our students come from all kinds of backgrounds throughout New Mexico and many will work and live in our local neighborhoods after graduation. That’s why ACE works alongside local employers and community leaders to create a better future for all of us — students, families, educators, industry, and New Mexico as a whole.
