Well, if you have the means and want the best in education for the Alb area, this is the best place to put your 120+K. There are politics, but they get worked out by good, good people. Meanwhile, your kid gets eyeballs on every min of every day by people who have the time, desire, education and means to keep your kid as whole and safe a possible in this crazy world. Yeah it's a bunch of rich kids but not entirely so the mix gives sane ones a chance at how the real world works. And they really give your kid a hell of an education while they Really get to know your kid second only to your immediate family. We went thru a lot in 7 years, they were there thru it all humanely, real and loving. One day I would love to give a kid a year on me like an angel did for us when times were hard. Miracles bloom here.

The school is subpar and an expensive way to pay for your child to get into college with a lack luster education. The education is geared toward exam prep at best. The administrators lack finesse and skill. The school overall is poor.

We have been thrilled with our daughter's experience at Sandie Prep. The teachers are wonderful and ensure that your child succeeds through regular communication and follow up. Our child genuinely enjoys going to school every day and has become inspired to learn more about EVERYTHING, not because she has to, but because she WANTS to. If you want a school that is a positive environment and encourages your child to discover who they want to be, you should definitely check out Sandia Prep.
