Sanford offers all the advantages that make an independent school education so valuable. Our bold approach to learning offers every student a rigorous, engaging, well-rounded, college-preparatory curriculum. Sanford students delve deep into core subjects, music, visual arts, world languages and cultures, and athletics. Led by our stellar faculty, Sanford students become critical thinkers, adept problem-solvers, independent learners, powerful self-advocates, and effective leaders. Our expectations are high, but so is the genuinely caring, developmentally appropriate support we provide at each level. As a result, Sanford students leave as articulate, creative, self-assured, caring, and responsible young people who return to tell us how well prepared they feel not just for college but for life.
