Applying to Sandia Prep
Because admission to Sandia Prep is competitive, it's best to start the application process early. In fact, the process begins a full year before your child would start his/her first semester at Sandia Prep.

Interview
We want to get to know our future students. That's why our admission process includes a student interview. Each prospective student is interviewed by a member of our faculty in a friendly conversation about the student's interests, talents, and experiences.
Student Visit
We love having prospective students join us for classes and lunch. The Student Visit Day (optional) is the best way to experience our student-centered community. Applicants spend half a day on our campus as the guest of a current student and have a chance to see what it is like to be a student at Sandia Prep.
You must complete your admission application to schedule a Student Visit Day. (Please note that a Student Visit Day is not the same as a Campus Tour.)
Campus Tours
Does your family want to visit our beautiful campus? We offer in-session tours and selected Saturday tours throughout the year. Our comprehensive in-session tours run from 8:15 - 9:30 am. and are followed by breakfast with Head of School Bill Sinfield from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Saturday tours run from 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. during admission testing.
