New Mexico School for the Arts Finds a Home
Our New Campus
New Mexico School for the Arts has reached an agreement to lease the St. Francis Cathedral School in the heart of downtown Santa Fe!
“We’re thrilled to have a home, to be in the heart of Santa Fe, and to know that our School will be open in a matter of months. It’s very exciting”, states NMSA Board Chair Catherine Oppenheimer.
St. Francis Cathedral School is the former location of Santo Niño Regional Catholic School prior to their moving to the College Avenue location. The 36,360 square foot school is located at 275 East Alameda, at the corner of East Alameda and Paseo de Peralta and was designed by celebrated architect John Gaw Meem in 1947. The two-story facility includes 14 classrooms, a library, cafeteria, stage, gymnasium and school offices.
“We are pleased that our historic St. Francis Cathedral School building will continue to serve the tradition of education in Santa Fe as the new home of the New Mexico School for the Arts.” says Jim Cutropia, representative for the Cathedral Church of St. Francis of Assisi, owner of the facility.
Head of School Jim Ledyard states: “Our students will be inspired by the architecture and works of art that grace the hallways at Cathedral School. We look forward to opening the school up to the public for semester-end performances and arts shows by the students of New Mexico School for the Arts.”
