The 6th Grade Experience
Something New Every Day
At Sandia Prep, every day is new and different. All students take a total of eight classes, but only attend seven classes in a school day. Our schedule allows time for academics — as well as activities and conversations with teachers. It allows students to know one another and form the strong community for which Sandia Prep is known.
