Our School

MB Sanford takes pride in its tradition of creating a safe and respectful community in which all students can learn. To this end, staff work with energy and enthusiasm, supporting all learners and their families.
The school has begun to implement the three major initiatives identified though the accreditation process:
- to develop students' critical thinking skills with the goal of enabling students to engage in critical analysis in social studies and science
- to improve instruction in computer technology through the more effective integration of computers into the curriculum
- to promote a level of collaboration and communication which builds deeper collegial relations by focusing on improvements in student performance in the area of social responsibility.
