Student 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 Day
We invite all prospective students to a personalized Student Visit Day. It 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 (their Visit Day guide) and have a chance to see what it is like to be a student at Sandia Prep.
Your child will visit dynamic classes, explore campus, share lunch with us, and get to know our teachers and students.
Please note that you must submit an online application to schedule your child's Visit Day. By completing an application with your child's information, we can better pair them with a Visit Day guide who shares similar interests, plus we'll do our best to tailor their Visit Day classes to those that most interest them.
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 the Head of School from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Saturday tours run from 9:15 - 10:15 a.m. during admission testing.
