Our Unique Approach to Learning

Taos Academy is anything but traditional. While we teach both core academic subjects and 21st-century skills, our approach is different—dynamic, flexible, and deeply personalized. With the support of caring instructors and innovative technology, students learn in a well-rounded environment that extends beyond the classroom—whether they are on campus, at home, or traveling.

Every student’s experience is tailored to their individual needs, ensuring they are supported, challenged, and inspired to succeed on many levels. Our curriculum combines mastery of core subjects with an emphasis on skills essential for today’s world—critical thinking, digital literacy, workplace readiness, and emotional intelligence—helping students grow into confident, capable, lifelong learners.

We partner with trusted digital curriculum providers such as Edgenuity, Rosetta Stone, and Khan Academy to deliver engaging, standards-aligned coursework. Each student begins with a skills assessment, which forms the basis of an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). This allows us to customize their learning path—providing extra support where needed and advancing more quickly in areas of strength. This flexibility is the beauty of digital education: students are met where they are and guided to where they can go.
