Admission
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.

Rolling Decisions

While Sanford offers rolling admission, our ninth and tenth grades are in high demand each year. Families are strongly encouraged to complete the application process by Monday, January 5, 2026

Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis once the Admission Committee has reviewed the candidate's complete admission file.

Families in need of financial assistance should apply for admission and financial aid at the same time.

Families are asked to reply to an offer of admission by the date specified on the enrollment agreement.
