About
“The Whole Child for the Whole World.” That’s a longtime slogan for our school, developed by the founders back in 2006 as they envisioned a short phrase to express the fuller mission and impact the school would seek to establish. Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School (CCPS) is a preeminent public charter school in Albuquerque, with a unique approach to teaching and learning for students in grades 6-12.

Athletics
Athletics are an important part of the Cottonwood experience. Every season our student-athletes gain lifelong lessons in the value of competition, perseverance, hard work, and the true meaning of teamwork. We believe that athletic competition is a powerful teacher. Physical and mental challenges in a team setting offer athletes the opportunity to develop leadership skills, self–confidence and a commitment to others that will inspire them to lead productive and active lives.
