THE UPPER SCHOOL SEEKS, THROUGH THE CORE CURRICULUM, ELECTIVES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, TO PUT STUDENTS IN A POSITION OF HAVING THE BROADEST POSSIBLE RANGE OF CHOICES WHEN IT COMES TIME TO APPLY TO COLLEGES. BIBLE CLASSES ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM AT SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, AND THEY ARE TAUGHT FROM AN ORTHODOX, DISTINCTIVELY CHRISTIAN VIEWPOINT. IT IS OUR OBJECTIVE TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO LOOK AT LIFE WITH AN "ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE." UPPER SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN GLOBAL MISSIONS TRIPS WHERE THEY ARE INVOLVED IN VOLUNTEER TEACHING, MINOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, ENGLISH PRACTICE AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES. THE SANTA FE CHRISTIAN UPPER SCHOOL WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL IN 2017.THERE WERE 269 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. THE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXISTS TO FACILITATE A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN THE DEPENDENCE OF THE LOWER SCHOOL YEARS AND THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE UPPER SCHOOL YEARS. WE CALL THESE THE "BRIDGE YEARS." THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR EACH STUDENT IS TO LEARN HOW TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY. THE ACADEMIC SKILLS THAT WERE TAUGHT IN LOWER SCHOOL YEARS ARE REINFORCED AND BUILT UPON IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING UNLESS ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT APPROPRIATELY. CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS CONTINUE TO BE DEVELOPED IN EACH STUDENT. IN ORDER FOR EDUCATION TO BE COMPLETE IT MUST BE BASED ON A STANDARD OF TRUTH. THE BIBLE IS THE STANDARD UPON WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AT SFCS IS BASED. THE SANTA FE CHRISTIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL IN 2015.THERE WERE 260 LOWER SCHOOL AND 67 PRESCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. THE LOWER SCHOOL (K-5) AND PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS PROVIDE A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING. OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY IS BASED ON THE VISION OF THE SCHOOL: TO SEEK TO HONOR GOD BY PREPARING CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF TOMORROW TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHILE ADHERING TO STATE STANDARDS, SFCS INTEGRATES BIBLICAL TRUTH IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS. THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF BETTER EQUIPPING OUR STUDENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN LEADERS.
