Why Corrales International School?

Corrales International School (CIS) is a tuition-free public charter school serving K-12 students in Albuquerque. At CIS, students engage with a comprehensive STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) curriculum geared toward biomedical sciences.

CIS stands apart from other Albuquerque-area schools in offering International Baccalaureate Primary and Middle Years programs. The Primary Years Program focuses on equipping elementary aged students with the knowledge, concepts, skills, and attitudes essential for responsible action. The Middle Years Program aims to provide middle and high school aged students with the confidence they need to manage their own learning while supplying them with critical academic skills.

With a dual-language focus (English and Spanish), CIS encourages global citizenship, CIS raises students’ social and emotional awareness through active service-learning activities and their “This is LIT!” Leaders in Training program. At CIS, older students follow an advanced curriculum and upper-level students are able to earn college credits from CNM and UNM.
