Welcome to Albuquerque Academy (Grades 6-12), an independent, co-educational school. (The wikipedia link will tell you nearly everything you need to know. I have made a few changes though.) The costs to parents is over $22,000 per year per student.
Its football team was 3-6 last year and could barely field a team. In 2015 they moved to a 3 team league. That league has been disbanded and that are back in a league with several teams. It is likely this will be the last year for the football team. If you look up their state championships, that will give you an idea of the sports that get all the support.
Lower School (Grades 6-7)
Middle School (Grades 8-9)
Upper School (Grades 10-12)
It is Fall 2017 and you are a student in the Upper School. (You do NOT have to start at 10th grade. My character will be in 11th. He is 15 and about to turn 16 in late Sept. Yes, he finishes his senior year at age 17. He doesn’t even have his driver’s license yet. Yes, he will be in Driver’s Ed.)
Course Listing
Courses are not limited to what is in that list. For fun, I am adding Equestrian (must have a family life that allows for a place to keep a horse, Mares and Geldings only at the school). They do have a Ropes course if you look. Geology is being added. This is not a very large school. Class sizes are small. They have to justify the use of a teacher’s time to keep a class open.
Compared to all the other students of this fine school, my character’s schedule is ridiculously light. Music (Guitar), Keyboard, Theatrical Arts, plus some college courses. Creative Writing is his toughest course. Most students are REQUIRED to take certain courses and even have summer reading assignments. (You generally have to sign up a year in advance.) Duncan, however, finished his GED. He is taking courses to round out his education.
Duncan is a New Kid in School, transferring from the public school system, and looks more than a little rough around the edges - literally. On the first day of school it looked as though he had been mugged by a gang or in a very bad traffic accident. He wears a single glove on his left hand and walks with a limp. (His left hip is messed up.) He’s a little on the weird side. Okay, a lot weird. Socially he is withdrawn. He hovers on the edge of groups or rooms and observes. That may just be the fact that he’s new. He acts more like a geek than that cool guy with the guitar. He’s always scribbling stuff in notebooks. He doesn't do social media. He has few friends, mostly unpopular kids.
The RP will officially start up a few weeks into Fall Semester. Note: He will NOT have anything to do with a hispanic girl of any sort.
Please contact me via PM if Interested. (And use the Subject: New Kid.) I will probably run this via PM's.
