Sanford Travel Through Photos

Sanford Middle and Upper School students have the opportunity to travel abroad with teachers and classmates over spring or summer break. This is part of our Sanford experience. Take a look at our gallery below to learn more about these experiences.

Spearheaded by faculty members and led by EF tours, Sanford students in grades 7-12 have the option to explore interdisciplinary learning beyond our borders. In recent years, our students have traveled to Belize, France, Panama, England, Peru, Ireland, and Spain--to name a few destinations. Research has shown that international travel can help develop creativity, hone problem-solving skills, and enhances self-confidence.
