Amy Biehl Charter High School

I went to La Cueva High School before transferring to ABHS and it was life changing for me. The class sizes were smaller, the curriculum was humanities based and the students and teachers both found joy in pursuing the coarse of a scholar. If I hadn't found ABHS I probably would have dropped out of high school. In attending ABHS I have made a progress that I never expected; moving from D's and F's to A's and B's, and next semester I will be attending St. Johns college of Santa Fe. ABHS taught me how to read deeply, write and revise deeply, and think deeply. I entered ABHS lost and I have left as a well rounded scholar. The faculty that teaches their are amazing both in their love of teaching and their desire to help you succeed.
