Welcome to 21st Century!
21st Century Public Academy is Albuquerque’s first charter middle school, founded in 2000 and now serving students grades 1-8.
Out of School Instruction
21st Century is not a typical public school. We strive to give students educational experiences outside of the school walls, in the community wherein those skills are practiced. Each grade level attends a minimum of twenty OSIs per year, taking them to locations such as the Natural History Museum, the Roadrunner Food Bank, the Pecos Natural History Park, and many more! These experiences are designed to support student core learning while also teaching the importance of our community.
