The Santa Fe Indian School (SFIS) is a secondary school (middle and high school) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States. It was founded in 1890^[1] as a boarding school for Native American children from the state's Indian pueblos. But in the course of its history, the school has also served as a major cultural catalyst for the Native American community throughout the United States.

Beginning as a boarding school for students, the school expanded its offerings in the late 1920s by opening "The Art Studio", with a painting program run by instructor Dorothy Dunn.^[2] This program encouraged students to develop a painting style that was derived from their cultural traditions. Influential artists who were associated with the program include Oscar Howe and Allan Houser.

In 2004 and 2005, SFIS underwent an extensive $40,000,000 Campus Relocation Project. The new facilities include: High School Dormitory, Middle School Dormitory, Humanities Building, Practical & Fine Arts Building, Middle School Academics Building, Student Life Center, Central Plant, Football Stadium, and a 4-field Baseball-Softball Complex.
