School Notes:

  • Sandia Prep's Vision:
    We will inspire our students to discover their purposes in the world by:
    Developing essential skills and intellectual potential through challenging academics;
    Cultivating a socially responsible environment of innovation and creativity; and
    Engaging as a vibrant community for the betterment of society.

    10 Things We Believe 
    1.   Educating is not a job; it is a calling. 
    2.   Education is about the students. Their needs always come first. 
    3.   The measure of our successis how we treat our most challenged student on his or her worst day.  
    4.   We must approach our work with confidence, not arrogance. We offer no apologies and make no comparisons. 
    5.   Independence defines us as a school. 
    6.   The great challengeof teaching at Sandia Prep is to meet each student where he or she is as a learner. 
    7.   Teaching is not about us as faculty; we are senior partners — part of a teamthat includes students and parents. 
    8.   Sandia Prep faculty members teach young people; the subject matter is simply a tool. 
    9.   We must find ways to nurture and supportseemingly difficult students, colleagues and parents. 
    10. Our goal is to teach students to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
