RIO GRANDE, An independent school serving students pre-K through sixth grade in Santa Fe, NM

From the Head of School

Welcome to Rio Grande School, where every day is about celebrating the magic and promise of childhood.

A Rio Grande School education challenges each child's intellect with a vigorous academic program. Our students learn to think logically, solve problems collaboratively, write clearly, and read critically.

Rio Grande School inspires each child's imagination. RGS is known throughout the region as a school that excels in the arts. Our arts specialists work closely with students and grade level teachers to integrate art, music, drama, and movement with the classroom curriculum.

Rio Grande School nurtures each child's desire to learn by placing the child at the center of the process. From our "pequenos" to our sixth grade seniors, RGS students are invested in their own learning, asking questions and reflecting on issues that matter most to them.

We hope that you find our website a strong introduction to Rio Grande School. There is no substitute, however, for experiencing us in person. We are always happy to welcome committed partners in the education of our cherished children.

Sincerely,

Jay Underwood
Head of School
