A Small School Makes a Big Difference

At Northpoint, our size is one of our strengths.

Northpoint isn’t like other Albuquerque charter schools—and we like it that way. As a smaller school, we’re able to build stronger relationships, offer more support, and give students the freedom to be themselves. From our unique approach to tech-based learning to our variety of clubs and extracurriculars, our focus is on helping students succeed both academically and as whole people.

Here are three ways that our close-knit community creates a learning experience that’s personal, dynamic, and deeply supportive.

Learning Comes with Built-In Support

Our students benefit from three distinct types of classes: Hands-on STEAM learning projects in our Smart Lab, collaborative Math and English courses, and individualized online learning through the Edgenuity platform.

In our Main Lab, students work through lessons on the computer. Learning is self-guided, but they’re never working alone. Teachers and educational assistants are always available to provide guidance, explain concepts, and offer new ways of understanding material. That means more one-on-one attention, more encouragement, and more opportunities to build confidence.

Whether it’s help navigating the software, clarifying instructions, or breaking down a tough assignment, we make sure our students have the support they need every step of the way.

Our Small Size Means More Space to Be Yourself

One of the first things people notice about Northpoint is how different our campus feels. A smaller school means fewer cliques, and students are not rigidly divided by age or grade level. This allows students to build friendships across ages, backgrounds, and interests. Collaboration comes naturally, and individuality is celebrated.

Northpoint students bring their full selves to school. Creativity, curiosity, and personality are all welcome. From blue hair to bold ideas, we make room for self-expression—not just in appearance, but in how students learn, create, and grow. Our project-based learning model allows students to incorporate their interests into their work, making school feel more meaningful and personal.

Relationships That Make a Real Difference

Because lessons are often self-guided and hands-on, our teachers are focused on one-on-one instruction rather than spending all their time lecturing to a class. This allows our teachers to really know the students, not just by name, but by their dreams, their challenges, and their strengths. This kind of connection makes all the difference.

Smaller class sizes allow us to teach in a way that’s more flexible, responsive, and personalized. Teachers can tailor instruction, recommend the right classes, and help students create clear paths toward their goals after graduation. Whether it’s preparing for college, exploring a career, or diving deeper into a subject of interest, our educators walk alongside students to help them thrive on their path to being future-ready graduates.
