Admission
How to Apply

Lower School

We have three children in Sanford's Lower School - The teachers and staff make each child feel known, appreciated and capable, creating a true sense of belonging. The curriculum is strong, but what's so unique is how the children are encouraged to learn through play and following their own curiosity or exploring within a team. I am excited for my kids to grow up in a place that will challenge their intellect, encourage them to participate in many different kinds of activities, and prepare them to be good leaders and kind people in our rapidly changing world.
