Sanford is a vibrant middle school in the Longfellow area of Minneapolis.

• All students are on Teams that remain together for 3 years. Team classes are: language arts, social studies, science, and math.
• Caring personal relationships are a priority at Sanford.
• In addition to Team classes, students also have classes in PE/Health, Arts (Band, Choir, Drama or Art), Design (Design or Engineering), and World Languages (Arabic or Spanish).
• Extension and Intervention classes include AVID, Reading Workshop, Read180, and Focus Math. All students are challenged at their ability level.
• Critical thinking skills and study skills are embedded in all of our lessons. We know we teach more than just content – we teach our students to be life-long learners.

We are proud of and celebrate over 80 years of history as a part of an ever changing, lively river community with a magnificent immigrant and multicultural heritage. Sanford follows the middle school model with a 6-8 program and is located in the Longfellow neighborhood in southeast Minneapolis. Come visit us at 3524 42nd Avenue South. We would love to see you.
