Sanford is a rare find in school experiences. The school culture fosters a level of respect and integrity that makes it an easy place to focus on learning and development. It is also an environment where the students can truly explore areas of education and extra curriculum activities that fuel their individual passions. Class sizes are small so there is plenty of engagement where teachers truly get to know the students.

Head of school, head of upper school, head of middle school, entire...
