About Us

The International School at Mesa Del Sol is a PreK-12th grade public charter school located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our charter is granted by the Albuquerque Public School District to teach the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. TIS is an IB Certified World School for the Primary Years Programme (K-5) and offers grades 6 - 12, including a middle school 6-8 and High School 9-12. TIS has expanded by adding a grade level since its establishment in 2009 and had its first graduating class in 2018. TIS began as a state-authorized charter school until 2017, when it reauthorized its charter with the Albuquerque Public School District (APS).
