Admission
How to Apply
Upper School
Sanford is that school where all three of my children have grown academically, culturally, socially and in other ways we never expected. The small class sizes and close relationships with teachers allow my children to be the best students they can be.
We look forward to meeting you and your family!
A school tour is a great way for the whole family to get a feel for the Sanford experience. During the tour you will have the opportunity to explore our beautiful campus, meet our teachers, and see our students in action.
Personal tours available by appointment for all grade levels. Please contact admission@sanfordschool.org or call 302-235-6503.
