ethnic origin, or sexual orientation in administering its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid programs or other school-administered programs.
Ten Things We Believe
- Educating is not a job; it is a calling.
- Education is about the students. Their needs always come first.
- The measure of our success is how we treat our most challenged student on his or her most challenging day.
- We approach our work with confidence, not arrogance. We offer no apologies and make no comparisons.
- Independence defines us as a school.
- The great challenge of teaching at Sandia Prep is to meet each student where he or she is as a learner.
- Teaching is not about us as faculty; we are senior partners — part of a team that includes students and parents.
- Sandia Prep faculty members teach young people; the subject matter is simply a tool.
- We must find ways to nurture and support students, colleagues and parents.
- Our goal is to teach students to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
"Sandia Prep gave me the tools I needed to explore lifefs possibilities and a solid foundation for college and law school. My teachers taught me how to think critically, express myself clearly, and encouraged me to take risks and solve problems on my own."
