Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School

Highly Engaged Employees

Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School is a state-chartered charter school in Albuquerque that was founded with the idea that all children should have access to a high-quality, rigorous college preparatory experience. That is what the company strives to provide. While there are many challenges that the company face in public education, the company... believes that the charter school model is one of the company's best chances to, in many ways, rebuild the public educational landscape and push the traditional public schools to become more and more relevant in the lives of their communities and the children within them. The company is lucky to have made such great progress in a relatively short amount of time (the school opened its doors in the fall of 2008), and look forward to continuing to "push the envelope" about what high-quality, supportive college preparation can look like for students. The company is grateful to the families who were the "early adopters" of Cottonwood Classical and know that the company is a choice among many. While the company is not the school for everyone, the company do believe that anybody who comes to Cottonwood has the opportunity to be the best that they can be. The company strives to create the kind of learning environment where children are joyfully engaged in the relationships that they are forging, the activities that they are completing, and the demonstrations they are performing. The school was founded on the idea that the company can provide "a private-school education at a public-school price. And, although the company has had some growing pains in the company's short eight years of existence, the company believes that the company is living up to that motto and making the company's city and state proud.Read More
