HOW MUCH SPACE DOES A CHILD’S IMAGINATION NEED?

“This move will change the face of education in Santa Fe. It will
allow us to welcome students from here and around the world without
space limitations. This dream is just a physical extension of the
intangible product we offer – a global view that prepares our students
to become tomorrow’s leaders and follows them wherever they go.”

- Terry Passalacqua, Head of School

WHAT’S THE IDEAL HOME FOR AN UNFOLDING INTELLECT?

At Desert Academy, we stand at the gates of a remarkable
opportunity. We can give our region’s children – and grandchildren – a
setting for learning with horizons as wide as their own.

The new campus, on 26 acres at the doorstep of the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains, will put a new foundation under the dreams of every
Desert student. It will lift our physical environment to the level of
our world-class pedagogy. And it will help raise the quality of secondary
education in Santa Fe, contributing to a brighter future for our
community.
