extracurriculars
Students of all ages at Desert Montessori are encouraged to participate in athletics to increase their physical, social, and emotional development, learn leadership and self-discipline, and have a good time. Go Bobcats!
In 2025, we’re excited to be offering after-school Swim Club (based at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center) as well as Marimba, Glass Art, and STEAM, in addition to a wintertime Ski Club for our Elementary students.
Ski Club is a five-week program during the height of ski season that accommodates all levels of skiers and snowboarders under the direction of Ski Santa Fe professional ski teachers.
Students and parent chaperones travel to Ski Santa Fe and spend a day learning skills and techniques.
Beginning students learn how to turn, control their speed, and skiing essentials. Experienced skiers will focus on technique improvements so they are comfortable in powder, bumps, or the terrain park.
Our Swim Club is coached by longtime swim instructor, Lee Romero Taylor, and covers both basic swimming lessons and competitive swimming skills, culminating in a swim meet at the end of the season.
