It is currently run by the Texico Conference of the Southwestern Union Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[1] The school was founded in 1942 and currently has students from Corrales, Rio Rancho, Albuquerque, Edgewood and Santa Fe.

Sandia View Academy was established in 1942 as the Spanish-American Seminary and operated by the General Conference to train young men and women of Hispanic origin to serve as workers in the Spanish-speaking areas in the United States and other countries.[2]
For a time the Spanish-American Seminary operated as a junior college. Spanish-speaking students from almost all the Latin-American countries enrolled, in addition to Hispanic-Americans from California, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, New York, and other areas of the United States.[2]
This was one of four seminaries operated at various times by the church to serve special language groups. The other schools were Clinton Theological Seminary (German); Humpinson Theological Seminary (Danish and Norwegian); and Broadview Seminary (Swedish).[2]
In 1953 the General Conference voted to turn the Spanish-American Seminary property and buildings over to the Texico Conference for adoption as the conference secondary boarding school.[2]
