What Sets Las Cruces Academy Apart?
Las Cruces Academy Founded in 2009 as a private school, we offer classes from early kindergarten to 8th grade. We are noted for our advanced academics, small class sizes, a diverse student body, cultural enrichment, and community outreach.
Our Mission
Las Cruces Academy serves students who are advanced or gifted academically by providing academic challenge, individual attention, and a nurturing environment. Our children excel in one or more subjects beyond grade level. Our mission is to guide them toward realization of their full potential intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
We are committed to recruitment of enthusiastic, highly qualified teachers and staff and to small class sizes. A comprehensive curriculum with emphases on math, science, and language includes daily classes of English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese to prepare students to effectively engage in an increasingly diverse world. Students are taught according to their ability, not age nor class. Our student-centered curriculum encourages self-directed learning, collaboration, and nurturing of intellectual curiosity and creativity. While in the classroom and at play we provide opportunities for social development and strive to impart the values of honesty, compassion, humility, and leadership.
We believe that all of our students possess gifts and talents. We provide a nurturing, loving and structured environment for our students to gain self-knowledge and self-confidence. Our hope is that they become compassionate people and productive citizens and that they enjoy fulfilling lives.

Hear it from our parents!
“If you are looking for a good education and a safe environment for your kids, then Las Cruces Academy is the best place for your child’s education. I lived in three different states (each for a few years) and have seen many schools. Therefore, I think I can conclude with certainty that Las Cruces Academy is a school of high quality and virtue. I have my daughter there and couldn’t be happier with the reassurance that she is getting the education and care she needs to thrive, develop, and improve.”

“My daughter is getting an amazing education here that is tailored to her needs. I hope that learning three languages in very early life will impact her future substantially. My daughter enjoys it so much that she sometimes gets annoyed if I pick her up before the structured or unstructured after school activities have finished.”
