  • Find Yourself at Sanford

Approach Learning and Life With No Limitations

Sanford School is a creative and inclusive preschool–12 community that encourages students to embrace their individuality, tap into their talents, stretch their skills and broaden their ambitions.

  • Logan Herring, Sr. '00, Chief Executive Officer, The WRK Group

    "I only spent two years here, transferring in my junior year, and chose Sanford because I simply wanted to attend a school where I felt comfortable. Little did I know the profound impact the Sanford community would have on my life in such a short time as it supported and pushed me out of my comfort zone into a pursuit of excellence in my personal journey. I return every year to coach and re-invest in the next generation of Warriors as they pursue their own journeys and go on to change the world."

  • Jen Nightengale '82, Sanford Faculty Member & Alumni Parent

    "I have many fond memories of being a Sanford student. Whether I was participating in sports, performing on stage, or focusing on my studies, my teachers and coaches were always there to support me. Today, as a Middle School faculty member and coach, I'm excited to help prepare my students for high school, college, and life."

  • Clint Williams, Sanford Parent & Faculty Member

    "When I first walked onto Sanford's beautiful campus 16 years ago for a job interview, I had no idea that I would be joining a lifelong learning community of friends. It took just a few days for me to realize I had hit the jackpot with this teaching job, and now, over a decade later, I still feel this way. The support we as teachers get from our administration is unheard of in the world of education and we are fortunate to teach at a school that is student-centered. And now my wife, Noel, and I are the proud parents of a Sanford first grader, Elliott, who loves Sanford as much as I do. I am excited for his future and look forward to someday watching him walk across the stage in the Quad as a Sanford Lifer."

  • Laura Jezyk, Sanford Faculty Member & Parent

    "When I began teaching at Sanford, I knew I was joining a wonderful school community, but I did not anticipate how quickly it would become like another family to me. Teaching and learning are my passions, and I feel honored to be a part of an institution that celebrates, honors, and inspires its educators every day.”

  • Todd Helmecki, Sanford Faculty Member & Parent

    "One of the things I appreciate most about teaching at Sanford is the encouragement to reflect and grow as a faculty member. The collegiality among peers and across divisions means there is always an open door and someone to inspire you."

    "Jana thrives at Sanford. She is getting an excellent education and she loves to go to school every day. I give Sanford credit for her love of learning and for her desire to pursue any and all interests. Members of the Sanford community have similar values to those of our family, and Jana will continue to be a great citizen thanks to those aligned values."
