Albuquerque Sign Language Academy

The Albuquerque Sign Language Academy (ASLA) is a pioneering special education school in Albuquerque, NM, dedicated to serving children of all abilities with a specific focus on students who are deaf or hard of hearing. As the nation's first state-certified dual-language ASL-English program, ASLA offers an inclusive environment where hearing and deaf students learn together. The school serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, ensuring that language acquisition and social connections are nurtured for every child, regardless of hearing status.

ASLA provides individualized programming and therapeutic services tailored to each student's specific IEP requirements, ensuring a personalized educational experience. With a low student-teacher ratio, the academy fosters meaningful relationships between educators, families, and students. The school also emphasizes community engagement through partnerships with institutions like the University of New Mexico and Harvard's P.E.A.R Institute, while offering sign language classes for families to promote inclusivity beyond the classroom.

Admissions to ASLA are open to students without the necessity of hearing loss as a primary disability, focusing instead on unique learning needs.
