Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in Santa Fe Prep. We are eager to meet you and show you our school. Prep offers many opportunities for student growth and character-building through a strong program of academics, arts, athletics, and community service. Prep is a close-knit community with frequent and meaningful student-teacher interaction, a successful Honors and Advanced Placement program, and superior arts and sciences facilities. At the heart of our school is our outstanding student body and a passionate group of faculty focused on helping students grow and succeed. Prep graduates are prepared for the best colleges and universities in the country.

We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about school life in our middle and upper schools, as well as what sets us apart from other schools in the area. Please complete our Admissions Inquiry Form so that we can be in touch and share information about upcoming events. Completing the Inquiry Form will also give you access to the Admissions Portal, where you can manage your application and sign up for events, including a Visit Day and Open House. The 2026-2027 Admissions season will open on October 1, 2025. You may start the application process at that time.

We will host our annual Admissions Open House on Friday, October 24, 2025. This is an opportunity to meet the Admissions team, participate in mini-classes taught by Prep faculty, and hear from current Prep students about their experience.
