Our mission—to help all Gray M. Sanborn students develop to their highest potential mentally, physically, and emotionally—is student- and stakeholder-focused. The core values that drive all planning and decision making are centered on service to our constituents and continuous quality improvement. In addition to K-6 regular education programs, Sanborn also houses a Grade 1-6 bilingual (Spanish) program, English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) services, a program for multiply handicapped primary students, Grades 5-6 gifted program, and Grades 1-6 special education learning/behavior resource program. We provide speech/language and social work services as needed. Our students also gain valuable exposure to visual arts, fine arts, physical education, and music, including band and orchestra for the older students.
