Looking Ahead

Our focus is being a Christ-centered community for the sake of the children and the gospel of Christ.

The mission of SFC

The mission of Santa Fe Christian Schools is to partner with Christian parents within a Bible-based community, in order to disciple students to embrace biblical truth, strive for academic excellence, and model Christ-like leadership to influence their homes, churches, and communities for Christ.

Each school has its own story, and ours is firmly rooted in our faith in Jesus, our guiding principles, and our dedication to staying true to our mission. Every decision we make is wrapped in prayer and carefully considered. We understand the importance of documenting the essence of who we are, so we remain faithful to our values, even as the world around us changes.

Statement of Faith and Declaration of Ethical and Moral Integrity

Our convictions

The Statement of Faith and the Declaration of Moral and Ethical Integrity are foundational documents that affirm the beliefs and standards guiding Santa Fe Christian Schools. These documents together serve not only as a statement of what we believe but as a guide and commitment to how we live and educate our students. Each year, our faculty and staff reaffirm these convictions to ensure that our mission remains clear and that our community is consistently anchored in the truth of God’s Word.

Worship is at the center

Our values

The Santa Fe Way is deeply rooted in our mission statement and five core values: Worship, Scholarship, Mentorship, Companionship, and Stewardship. These values are the core of our school. In order to preserve and pass on these core values, we created a 74-page prayer journal titled, The Santa Fe Way, The Guiding Values of Santa Fe Christian Schools, 30 Days of Prayers and Devotions. This intentional focus provides a clear picture of both who we are and a reflection of who we have been for nearly 50 years.

Student Learning Objectives

The Student Learning Objectives represent qualities that we desire every student to develop throughout their educational journey. While studying each unique subject, they develop skills to embody the Living Truth in Christ.

DISCERNING THINKERS: seeking God’s Truth in all things.

By deepening their understanding of the world, students learn to distinguish biblical truths from relative truths in all facets of their lives.

RESILIENT RISK-TAKERS: deepening dependence on God.

Students take measured risks and embrace productive struggles while experiencing age-appropriate successes and setbacks.

PURPOSEFUL CONTRIBUTORS: pursuing what is true, good, and beautiful.

As innovative creators, students explore new ideas and develop skills that add value to others.

INTENTIONAL LEADERS: serving with genuine care.

Embracing the mentorship model of leading by example, students serve within their sphere of influence to impact their communities for Christ.

GRACIOUS COMMUNICATORS: articulating with compassion and clarity.

Students listen with an empathetic ear, challenge graciously, and speak the truth with kindness.

RESPONSIBLE CARETAKERS: stewarding with wisdom and integrity.

Students address meaningful challenges to become impactful helpers without seeking personal acclaim.

Position Papers

Apologias

An additional layer in our educational framework is the development of apologias, or position papers, that address special topics guiding our approach to various subjects. For example, our literature apologia outlines the criteria for selecting books, focusingnot merely on theme, but on suitability fordeep study. It ensures what students read in the classroom aligns with our educational purpose, emphasizing critical analysis over entertainment.
