Academic Foundation

Learning That Grows With Each Student.

Every student begins with a strong foundation in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. The school-specific opportunities below extend that foundation without replacing the core elementary experience.

English Language Arts

Reading, writing, speaking, listening, vocabulary, and communication build the literacy foundation students use across subjects.

Mathematics

Students develop conceptual understanding, fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving as mathematical ideas become more sophisticated.

Science

Observation, investigation, evidence, and inquiry help students understand the natural and designed world.

Social Studies

Students explore history, geography, civics, communities, and the perspectives that shape our world.

What Sets Sanborn Apart

Hands-On Learning Helps Students Connect Knowledge Across Subjects.

Sanborn uses STEM and STEAM experiences to make academic concepts more tangible, including Defined STEM activities that supplement science instruction and create opportunities for problem-solving and application. That work supports the school's larger belief that students should discover their individual strengths while learning how those strengths can be used.
