Tierra Adentro of New Mexico (TANM) is an arts charter school focusing on New Mexico cultural arts. We are located in the heart of Albuquerque, the Old Town & Sawmill District, and serve students in 6th-12th grades. At TANM, we believe a well-rounded education includes academics, dance, music and visual arts.
Tierra Adentro was founded in 2010. TANM was renewed for another five years by the PEC in December of 2024.
Our educational philosophy is founded on the principle that a well-rounded education includes the study of academics, art, and artesanía (artisanship). These disciplines are hands-on, creative, and intellectual by nature. This perspective provides students with a positive sense of identity and belonging regardless of their background.
