The best part is the teachers and how much they care about each student. I would really like to see diversity and the intensity around sports culture change.

By far the best 7-12 school in Santa Fe. While it might not suit everyone, our family found it to be both academically rigorous and well-rounded with a robust arts program, built in school wide community service days and highly engaged faculty. This school has exceeded our expectations and our daughter is thriving due to the thoughtful, close knit environment that prep cultivates.
