My experience with Santa Fe Christian school was great. The teachers really care about what they do and they do a very good job of teaching and preparing us for college.

I've been at SFC for 10 years now and I love it. We could have better sports and more club opportunities but it is an amazing school. The campus is beautiful. The staff and faculty are amazing. The students are well prepared for college. The math program is amazing. There are no bad parts about Santa Fe Christian.

The more experienced ones rarely encouraged critical thinking but simple rote memorisation. However, my c...

I went to Santa Fe for 6 years as a student, and it was certainly a mixed bag. I had some genuinely good teachers. But I also had some really, really bad ones. Compared to other schools it's not very strong academically. Only half of my AP teachers were actually AP accredited. It's VERY cliquey. If...
