Annunciation Catholic School (ACS) has been offering Catholic Education in Albuquerque since 1959. With 421 students enrolled in grades Junior K – 8, it is ACS’ goal to continue to implement new and research-based instructional methods to ensure all students are engaged, active learners with a focus on faith, academics, community and service. A comprehensive program of Spanish, art, music, technology and physical education are provided to all students.
The Catholic faith is embedded in all that occurs at ACS, and teaching students to be people of service begins as early as the Junior K level. ACS itself supports several charities, including Roadrunner Food Bank, Barrett House, MAD Against Hunger, CRS Rice Bowls, and three branches of Catholic Charities–the Children’s Learning Center, and the Refugee and Homeless Programs. Additionally, our students are becoming more conscientious and better stewards of our earth.
ACS 4th graders oversee a school-wide recycling project and most recently began cultivating composting worms. The worms turn recyclable paper and cardboard into rich composting soil. The worms multiply every six weeks, so soon every classroom will have a bucket of recycling worms. The students will be responsible for harvesting the soil to fertilize plants on campus, including a garden created and maintained by the 5th grade students. If harvests permit, the soil will be sold to our community to further promote environmental sustainability efforts at ACS.
