The Impact Lab: Real-World, Experiential Learning
The Impact Lab at Sandia Prep is designed to give students hands-on learning opportunities through collaborations with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and real-world community challenges. By focusing on experiential education, the Impact Lab allows students to solve practical problems, cultivate leadership skills, and leave a meaningful impact on their communities. Your donations help fund project-based learning experiences, internships, and partnerships that empower students to lead initiatives that drive lasting change.
Financial Aid: Creating Access and Diversity
Sandia Prep is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their financial background, have access to a world-class education. Our Financial Aid program plays a critical role in creating a diverse and inclusive student body. By supporting this program, you are opening doors for students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience everything that Prep has to offer—from academic rigor to extracurricular activities like athletics and the arts. Financial aid helps make Sandia Prep a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community, enriching the fabric of the school.
