Our 25th Anniversary Celebration Continues with Sunday Matinees!
In 2000, the charter class of seventh graders from the Santa Fe Girls’ School were denied entry to the movie “Erin Brockovich” even though they had signed parent permission slips to see the R-rated film.
The movie theater manager at the time told them that the movie was “inappropriate for young girls”. The students decided to test whether the policy of not allowing anyone under the age of 17 to view an R-rated film without a parent or guardian was applied equally to boys and girls. The students asked a group of underage boys to attempt to buy tickets to the movie, and they had no problem getting in.
The students shared their story with the real Erin Brockovich and were invited to California to meet her, which they did the following year.
Join the Santa Fe Girls’ School to celebrate 25 years of educating girls with this special anniversary screening!

Breadth of education at the Santa Fe Girls' School
In addition to rigorous academics and innovative art programs, Santa Fe Girls’ School students have unique experiences that broaden and deepen their transformation into young adults:
Project Preserve
Project PRESERVE is the outdoor classroom of our environmental science program. Our PRESERVE program is the only three-year, standards-based, middle school curriculum focused on the Santa Fe River.
Roundhouse Advocacy
Each year, our eighth-grade students choose a bill to advocate for in the state legislature after studying US History and reading the Constitution. Students prepare written and oral arguments and then visit the Round House to deliver letters and speak before committees and the House Floor. Through this process, our students have often been instrumental to passing or preventing NM legislation.
Camping
Class camping trips allow students to build confidence, learn to do practical things for themselves, problem solve and deepen their social engagement and teamwork. Camping trips are linked to academic subjects like history, science and art.
Self-Defense
Since 2005, the Girls’ School has partnered with Resolve to provide trauma-informed, experiential, age-appropriate self-defense training to our students. Through this partnership, our students become empowered to prevent and stop violence in their lives.
