How to Apply
Upper School
Sanford had so much more to offer compared to my other high school options. It has a diverse selection of clubs, extracurricular activities, and academics. My favorite part at Sanford is how college-like it is. I've never been to college before obviously, but the building-to-building walking, and the independence has got to be something I admire.
