Sanford is an authorized MYP school. MYP is the MIddle Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. We believe in rigor for all students, taking a global perspective, and an interconnected, interdisciplinary approach to learning. We are an MPS Area B pathway school with the IB programs at Bancroft

and Roosevelt. Sanford is organized in grade-level teams and students stay together for 3 years, so that students & staff get to know each other well. Humanities (English and Social Studies) teachers loop with their students for all 3 years at Sanford. Math and Science teachers are more specialized, but math teachers do loop with students from 7-8th grade. In addition to the four team classes, all students also take World Language, Arts, Design, and PE/Health classes. Our World Languages are Arabic, Ojibwe and Spanish. Arts choices include performing arts (Band, Choir or Drama) and visual arts. Design choices include Intro to Design and Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Engineering classes. Sanford has a 6-period day schedule to ensure that all students have access to all 8 MYP-defined subject areas, as well as Reading and Math support as needed. We welcome prospective families to tour!

Sanford held our 2nd Community Project Service Day on Thursday, May 30th, 2024. While 8th graders were completing their own MYP Community Projects, 6th & 7th graders participated in service projects to help the community with their advisories. At Sanford, students rotated through stations to make over 500 sandwiches for The Sandwich Project, 32 Birthday Party Bags for families at Division of Indian Work, 100+ Hygiene kits for Avivo, countless seed bombs, cards for kids in hospitals, and positive sidewalk chalk messages. Thank you to our staff and parent volunteers who helped make it happen! We also had advisories who left campus to visit a preschool and feeder schools to build relationships between the schools. Others painted a Sanford mural, did neighborhood cleanup projects, cleaning storm drains, picking up trash by the river and cleaning graffiti. It was a memorable learning day for all.

It was Arabic Market today at Sanford. 7th & 8th Arabic students were merchants and shoppers today. Students greeted each other, haggled over prices and all were curious and practicing real world authentic assessment in Arabic! This is MYP at its middle school best. Thank you to Mari Odoy for making it happen!
