SCHEDULE
The Colloquium will begin the evening of Monday, July 20, 2026, with a welcome reception. Courses will begin the morning of July 21. Each course meets from about 9am until about 4pm July 21-24. This schedule may vary slightly depending on field trips and the individual needs of each course. More detailed schedules for each course will be posted on the course pages in May and June.
Breakfast and lunch are provided July 21-24.
POTENTIAL CHANGES: If a course is under-enrolled by late May, we may decide not to run that course. In that case, we will offer you admission to another course.
TRAVEL
Planes
Although most people fly into Albuquerque (ABQ), it is possible to fly directly to Santa Fe (SAF) if you are coming from or connecting through Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, or Phoenix. American offers flights from L.A., Dallas, and Phoenix, and United has flights from Denver to Santa Fe. It’s worth looking into as this may significantly cut your travel time; Santa Fe is about an hour from Albuquerque.
If a course is under-enrolled by late May, we may decide not to run that course and to offer you admission to another course. For this reason, we ask that you wait until your course has been confirmed to purchase plane tickets.
Train
Once you are in Albuquerque, it is possible to get to Santa Fe via the NM Rail Runner. Because the train doesn’t go to the airport, you actually have to grab a bus first. So, although the train is enjoyable, the logistics of it are cumbersome.
Automobiles
If you fly into Albuquerque, we recommend you forgo renting a car and take the Groome Shuttle. The cost for this is about $35 one way. This shuttle will take you straight to the hotel (see below). If you fly into Santa Fe, an Uber to the hotel might be your best bet. There are also a few local drivers who can provide a car service from the airport to La Posada for about $50. Please reach out to us for contact info if you are interested in this option.
We do what we can to reduce the cost to participants who are traveling to our fair city. Renting a car is not necessary, as the hotel is conveniently located downtown, close to all sorts of great restaurants, museums, shops, etc. In addition to the shuttles above that will get you to and from the hotel, the hotel itself has a shuttle that will take you anywhere within a 2-mile radius, and we will be running daily shuttles from the hotel to our campus for each day’s sessions.
If you plan to stay for a few extra days in Santa Fe or would like to further explore the city during your stay, you may want to rent a car.
LODGING
We have been fortunate to partner for many years with premier hotels in Santa Fe at a reduced rate. We will provide a shuttle from our partner hotel to and from Santa Fe Prep every day of the Colloquium.
For summer 2026, we have two partners:
Hotel Santa Fe is a premier hotel in downtown Santa Fe right next to the popular Railyard district, which houses the Farmers’ Market, Sky Cinemas, the Sky Railway, the Vladem Contemporary, galleries, and many dining and nightlife options. It’s about a 12-minute walk to the Santa Fe Plaza.
Our rate at Hotel Santa Fe is $239/for a superior king room or $269/night for a junior suite. On-site parking is free for hotel guests, and a complimentary shuttle is available for guests to get around the downtown area. The hotel has a lovely outdoor pool, and our guests get a discount at the spa. To reserve, call the hotel at 800-825-9876 and ask for the “Santa Fe Prep Teachers’ Colloquium” room block. Reservations must be made by June 5, 2026.
For those looking for a more economical option, El Sendero Inn is centrally located just two blocks from the Santa Fe Plaza. This motel-style lodge has a pool and on-site restaurant.
Our rate at El Sendero is $157.25/night for a room with 1 king or 2 queen beds. There is a $10/day parking fee. Use this link to book. Reservations must be made by June 19, 2026.
