A group of Albuquerque educators have filed an application to open a high school in the city to teach students about Spanish and Middle Eastern history, architecture and artificial intelligence.

Radi Abouelhassan, a resource teacher at Albuquerque Public Schools, will be the head of the proposed school, called Andalusia Natural Sciences Academy. Its application must be approved by the APS Board of Education before it can open, a requirement for charter schools seeking to set up within an existing district.

The application for ANSA says it will combine 鈥渞igorous STEM education, project-based learning, responsible AI literacy, and New Mexico鈥檚 rich cultural heritage.鈥�

If approved, the school鈥檚 curriculum will incorporate New Mexico鈥檚 Spanish colonial history, Middle Eastern history and the history of Al-Andalus, the medieval Muslim-ruled territory on the Iberian Peninsula. Students will use AI to construct architectural models of buildings and will use 鈥渞eal-world problem solving鈥� in class, school leaders said.

鈥淚 work with middle and high school students, and I realized that when students are working on projects, usually they are more engaged,鈥� Abouelhassan said. 鈥淚nstead of looking at history, for instance, from this dry lens, it鈥檚 good to use our culture of New Mexico as a starting point.鈥�

The school plans to open for ninth and 10th grade only in its first year, which could be as soon as August 2027. By its fourth year, ANSA officials say it will enroll grades nine through 12, and hope to have a targeted 400 students.

Abouelhassan said the school does not have a building yet, but is looking at areas of the city where there are large populations of students targeted in the Yazzie-Martinez lawsuit. The 2018 ruling found that the state was not providing an adequate education to Native American students, English language learners, students with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students.

鈥淲e will look into locations where there are a lot of immigrant families, a lot of students who are English language learners, and ones with disadvantaged groups,鈥� Abouelhassan said. He said he is open to sharing a building with another school initially.

When asked at Wednesday鈥檚 meeting by board member Heather Benavidez what ANSA plans to offer that APS cannot, Abouelhassan said the school will provide smaller class sizes, 鈥渋ntentional, project-based learning,鈥� and ethical AI training.

鈥淲e wanted to make kids actually use AI, but use it responsibly and ethically,鈥� Abouelhassan said. 鈥淭here will be a rubric where the students have to verify the sources of data and look at the credibility of the data they get.鈥�

During Wednesday鈥檚 hearing, board member Courtney Jackson told Abouelhassan she had concerns over how the school would attract students amid city- and nationwide enrollment declines. Since 2019, APS enrollment has dropped by 20%, from 80,109 that year to 63,726 on the 40th day of the 2025-26 school year.

Abouelhassan said the school would attract students through word-of-mouth and advertising.

鈥淲e understand it might be a challenge getting 80 kids in the first year,鈥� he said. 鈥淚f we get most of that number, we will be satisfied.鈥�

Abouelhassan holds a Ph.D. in education and an master鈥檚 degree in comparative literature and cultural studies, both from the University of New Mexico, and has taught at UNM, Central New Mexico Community College and the Community College of Qatar in the Middle East.

Ahmed Hasan and Kristoffer C. Smith will serve on the school鈥檚 board, according to the application. Hasan is a professor of mechanical engineering at UNM and serves on the board of Salam Academy, a private Muslim school east of Uptown Albuquerque, and Smith is a special education teacher at Albuquerque High School.

鈥淲e鈥檙e hopeful that they will give us a chance,鈥� Abouelhassan said. 鈥淲e know the whole model will need time to grow.鈥�

The APS Board will take a vote on the school鈥檚 application Aug. 19.
