The New Mexico Military Institute Intermediate Preparatory Academy currently offers enrollment for 6th grade day/non-boarding school students in the Chaves County, New Mexico area. The academy is open to students from further abroad however housing, food, and transportation would need to be externally arranged by the parents/guardians.
In 2019 a proposal was presented for a middle school under the annual strategic process with the suggested purpose of developing and recruiting students for NMMI’s ninth grade. Staff and interested local parents expressed a desire for an option apart from public educational choices for middle school-aged students. The desire for an educational choice includes small classroom occupant sizes, more personable educational relationships, a more rigorous curriculum that is intensive and immersive as well as diverse, and educational option that includes students of foreign locations, with greater structure and a well understood educational outcome.
