Summer Athletic Camps

Admission

From preschool through high school, Sanford School students pursue a challenging, engaging, college-prep curriculum while discovering the talents, strengths, and passions that shape their individual journeys. Our rigorous program is balanced by our desire to develop well-rounded students. There is no mold that Sanford students need to fit. The common thread through all our programs—and our students—is the bold pursuit of excellence.

Academics

Sanford offers all the advantages that make an independent school education so valuable. Our bold approach to learning offers every student a rigorous, engaging, well-rounded, college-preparatory curriculum. From preschool to high school, Sanford students delve deep into core subjects as well as music and visual arts, world languages and cultures, and athletics. Led by our stellar faculty, Sanford students become critical thinkers, adept problem-solvers, independent learners, powerful self-advocates, and effective leaders. Our expectations are high, but so is the genuinely caring, developmentally appropriate support we provide at each level. Sanford students leave us as articulate, creative, self-assured, caring, and responsible young people who return to tell us how well prepared they feel not just for college, but for life.

Programs

A vibrant liberal arts program rounds out Sanford School’s challenging, college-prep academic experience so our students can pursue their individual strengths, interests, and passions both inside and outside the classroom. Through a complete program of music and theater, visual arts, clubs and activities, athletics and counseling services—not to mention really good food—students have daily opportunities to discover new talents, explore their interests, get support when needed, and enjoy time with friends. Without all this, and the facilities to match, we couldn’t live our motto, No Talent Lies Latent.
