Open Quote Our boys are now in High School at SFC. This is our 5th year at the school and sending our children to SFC was the best decision we ever made. The teachers and staff are amazing in the way they know and love our boys. They challenge them, encourage them and celebrate their successes.
Both of our boys have grown and have been challenged academically and have discovered new gifts and passions with the many opportunities available. Our entire family has been blessed with wonderful friends and many amazing memories at SFC!!! Close Quote

Open Quote This school has been an amazing blessing for our family! We have three students there and have been at the school for six years. We are waiting for the honeymoon to be over!! The curriculum is challenging and cutting edge. The high moral standards are instilling strong values in my kids' lives. My kids are all thriving academically and socially, not to mention they are all three ten times more confident than I EVER was. We love SFC and feel a great sense of community there that is unparalleled with what we would receive in a public school because of our common faith. Close Quote

Open Quote Our son started last fall at SFCS as a freshman from public school. The difference is so drastic! He loves everything about his new home away from home. The leadership and guidance is top notch! Academics, teachers, and sports are challenging in every way. He could not be happier anywhere else! We love everything about our school! Close Quote

Open Quote My son is a sophomore and was new to Santa Fe Christian his freshman year. School is his favorite place to be for the first time in his life! The students, faculty and administration are the most warm and welcoming people we could imagine, and our son is thriving in the faith-centered environment . He is challenged academically with honors and college prep classes and outstanding teachers. The cross country program, clubs, concert band, pep band and bible study groups keep him very busy and happily immersed in this wonderful school. We have met with his college counselor several times to help him choose classes as well as begin his college search process, and the college counselors are dedicated to providing us with lots of information and guidance. We receive prompt return phone calls in response to any questions we have. It is a wonderful K - 12 community in every way. Close Quote

Open Quote I have two children that attend SFC. On is a Junior & the other a Freshman. Both children are very different, yet have flourished at SFC each in their own interests. SFC develops and encourages students in their personal faith with Jesus, in addition to having excellent academic and sports programs too.

When we first looked at SFC, we wondered if it would really be able to offer oldest child,who is a high-achiever, the challenging course work we thought she would need. Over the course of almost three years, we can say that she has been well challenged. SFC really offers big school opportunities in a small school setting. Close Quote

Open Quote I graduated from Santa Fe Christian Schools after nine years there as an elementary, middle, and upper school student. My experience at SFC is one of the things I am most grateful for in life – it was worth every penny my parents spent to send me there. SFC is an incredible school with an amazing balance of academics, athletics, arts, spiritual development, and social life. As a student, I knew nearly every teacher on campus, and more importantly, I knew those teachers cared about me and would go out of their way to support my growth spiritually and academically. I have since graduated from college and graduate school and I felt very well prepared by SFC. The alumni network is strong and I am still very close to many of my classmates. My parents often remarked that the school changed their lives too, and the parent community is one of the school’s strongest assets. While no school is perfect, I cannot imagine having a better experience anywhere else. If you are even thinking about sending your child to SFC, I encourage you to visit the school – you will feel the difference just by spending an hour on campus! Close Quote

Open Quote 4 years at SFC have been wonderful for my daughter. Soon to graduate, she has been challenged academically, spiritually, athlethically and morally. She is happy, confident and successful. The size of the highschool allows for participation in a variety of areas. My daughter has made great friends and has several mentors that have positively influenced her life. I could hardly ask for more as she prepares to go off to college. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
