Turquoise Trail: A New Mexico Original
New Mexico’s oldest charter school and one of the highest-achieving schools in the state, Turquoise Trail Charter School (TTCS) is as eccentric and diverse as the city of Santa Fe itself. Students and families come to TTCS from as far away as Rio Rancho and Las Vegas, from local tribes and pueblos, from artist communities in the mountains and from all over Santa Fe. A New Mexico original, TTCS was voted “Best of Santa Fe (2021)” and named New Mexico “Spotlight” School and among the top 10% of schools in English Language acquisition in the state in 2019-20. A vibrant arts community brings style and character to the rigorous academic standards that our school is built upon.
We are the coyotes and above all, we PROTECT THE PACK. At TTCS, every student is known and loved.
Our goal is that ALL PK-8 TTCS graduates finish in the top 10% of their HIGH SCHOOL freshman class, no matter which high school they attend.
PROMOTING AN ANTI-RACIST, INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
We at TTCS are committed to becoming an anti-racist school community and encourage members of our school community to report incidences of racism either to us directly or through the New Mexico Anti-Racism Hotline at (833) 485.1335. Please join us in promoting an inclusive school community free from prejudiced, isolationist and hurtful language and ideology.
What do the students and the community think about Turquoise Trail?
“It was a wonderful experience when I went to TTCS. Now my children go there, and it has been the most happy place where they look forward to being a part of it.”
