Head of Upper School: Mark Wagner
Through a carefully organized program of studies, the Upper School faculty seeks to promote the cognitive, affective, physical and social growth of each student and to foster responsible action that strengthens the entire school community. The Upper School program is designed to continue the processes begun in earlier school years. The faculty works to equip students with the skills, knowledge and judgment needed to become effective, responsible and caring adults. Ideally, students will have learned how to learn so that the years beyond Sanford School will continue the pattern of growth and education in their broadest senses. Toward these ends, the faculty has developed a program of study that spans the traditional liberal arts disciplines, including languages and literature, the arts, natural and physical science and the social sciences and history. This array of intellectual pursuits is complemented by a comprehensive program of physical activity through interscholastic competition. Not all classes listed in this curriculum guide are offered every year; offerings depend upon enrollment. Please see the Upper School Student Handbook for more specific information regarding graduation requirements.
