For well over forty-four years, we have offered high quality, individualized education with a small student-to-teacher ratio. Our students, ages five through twelve, are divided into four multi-age classes, based on levels of neurological development. The curriculum is constructed to match these different stages; along with art, music, field trips, and outdoor experiences. Piaget was correct when he stated that children are not simply little adults. They actually perceive the world in different ways at different ages. We hope you will visit us at our little private school in Santa Fe!

Santa Fe Girls’ School was founded in 1998 in response to the community’s need for a middle school setting where adolescent girls from diverse backgrounds could learn in an emotionally safe and academically rigorous environment. Our students learn in a school culture that fosters the development of inner strength and self-awareness and emphasizes each girl’s individual voice as a valuable piece of the greater whole. As a result, our graduates embrace a diplomatic approach to life that enhances the values of kindness and consideration of others and allows them to succeed not only as scholars, but also as vital community members and leaders.
