GETTING STARTED

1. Enroll in our SFCS Home Study Program.
2. Familiarize yourself with the history of the Santa Fe Community School as described by our principal in his book, CHEEZ!

BENEFITS

Due to our Home Study Program, students are able to learn each subject at a pace and level that is appropriate for them. Our program is a way for students or adults to earn a high school diploma without having to go outside their home.

At Santa Fe Community School, we have received letters of glowing praise from many of our students and parents. Some of them express gratitude because we enabled them to realize their dream of becoming a musician, an actress, or a professional dancer. Others thank us for saving them from the negative influences of public school - the sex, the drugs, the peer pressure, the feeling of powerlessness, the drudgery of traditional methods of education.

TESTIMONIALS

He completed his 2nd year with a G.P.A. of 3.9 (comservation Science major) and was named "The Outstanding Sophomore in the Science Dept.". Thank you, once again, for giving us the opportunity to home-school our son! God bless you." - Lois Gutierrez-De La Cruz, NM

"...Dear SFCS: We received Tony's Diploma, Transcript and Credit Award. All the hard work was worth it! We thank you for your diligence and keen interest as promoters of home based education. Thank you." -Brigida DiMaio, NY

One woman writes: "I am so grateful for your Home Study Program...Everyone is very impressed by my children's education and sense of self-worth. I feel that this method of education is responsible for their success." -Roxanne Swentzell, NM

Another mother writes: "I know he did more work than the average high school student in a public school system and this counts more...than a bunch of tedious and needless paper-pushing. I recommend home study for every child!" -Alice Larson, TX

A 15 year-old student writes: "...I find that being able to study at home at my own pace, and in a low-stress atmosphere, dramatically increases my ability to learn, and to gain from what I am learning..." -Janai Roland, OR

A New Mexico parent wrote: "We want to thank you for your continuous years of excellent service to our family... Before we began schooling through SFCS, our son was in fourth grade. He had problems in public school primarily because he didn't fit in very well... It didn't take long to heal his bruised self-esteem.
Working through SFCS enabled us to continue his education in an organized manner with no outside interference....
Our son is now a high school senior. He has taken a few algebra and computer science courses at the APS Career Enrichment Center. He participated in the "Supercomputer Challenge", (and) his project placed his team in the top 12 in the entire state of New Mexico! His team received an award from the U.S. Air Force, a Certificate of Appreciation from the SPACE High School Project presented by Col. Peter J. Marchiando, Commander of Phillips Labs.
Adam later applied for a position as an intern at the Intel Corporation... through the Carrer Enrichment Center's Internship Program...and was awarded (the internship).
Now as a high school senior, he spends a few hours each day providing computer support service at the Intel Corporation...while also continuing with his home studies. He hopes to attend TVI and eventually UNM... and plans to major in computer science.
When he was very young and in public school, we were told by his teacher that Adam would be a "C" student, at best! We consider our son a good example of what can be accomplished through home schooling. And we consider Santa Fe Community School an excellent home schooling facility." -Patrick & Margie DeAloe

A proud father sent the following: "...we are going to Eugene, Oregon to watch Charli get her Ph.D diploma handed to her in June. She is in Bosnia right now doing research for a book on chidren of war crimes, for which the MacArthur Foundation gave her a grant of $77,000. My bright little girl!" - Carey Carpenter
