Developing tomorrow’s informed, articulate,
and effective female leaders.

Admissions Open House October 15

The Santa Fe Girls’ School invites you to discover the advantages of a small, all-girls middle school that guides girls during this vulnerable period of development. We provide a culture where girls develop into self-advocating, confident, and academically prepared high school students.

Please join us October 15, 2023 at 3pm to learn more about our school and to meet faculty, current students, alumnae and other prospective families.

 

What Sets Us Apart

We are a supportive environment: teachers actively discourage social and academic competition.

We foster independence: Students learn through natural and logical consequences to become self-reliant and responsible for their own materials, actions and words.

Our students become confident communicators: students learn how to ask questions, how to ask for help, and how to self-advocate.

Our graduates are prepared for high school and beyond: Our graduates are able to easily navigate the academically and socially complex worlds of high school and college

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.
