DATA - Digital Arts & Technology Academy

Leadership Team

WELCOME TO THE DIGITAL ARTS & TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY WEB SITE

Our school's main emphasis is providing a successful academic experience for every student. We promise to provide small classes and great teachers who focus on individual needs and strengths of every learner in their classroom. DATA also provides the opportunity to accelerate or remediate a student's program through the use of E-20-20 online instruction. Through our electives, students can explore the world of film, architecture, animation, desktop publishing, Microsoft office skills, and many other courses, with a focus on film and media arts.

I would like to emphasize to our readers the opportunities we provide in an arena that is beneficial to our students. The film industry in New Mexico and in Albuquerque is beginning to boom, and there is a rapidly growing demand for qualified employees to work as film technicians and in other careers in the movie industry.

We are working closely with CNM to align our programs for articulated credit. This means our students will have the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit for selected elective courses at DATA.

Although our curricular context will be around the film and media arts pathway, it is not our intent to track students for careers exclusively in this area. Our courses will feature problem solving skills, collaboration, work site etiquette, reading for information, business writing, and testing academic theories through real world experience, which are skills that are applicable to all careers and interests.

DATA provides exciting opportunities for students in grades 9-12. If you are looking for something different, and you want more from your high school experience, begin that future at DATA.

Welcome to DATA! We look forward to meeting you.
