Sanford Collegiate is a Grade 9 to 12 high school committed
to the pursuit of excellence and to providing a safe and enriched
educational community which encourages life-long learning
and social responsibility. Our reputation for academic excellence
is related to the commitment of teachers and students, the
support of the community, and programs which challenge students
to maximize their potential growth.
The timetable is designed to best serve course requirements
and the needs of our students. We operate using the semester
system. The daily schedule is composed of 5-66 minute classes,
3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.
We offer a broad range of courses designed to meet the needs
of our students. We strive to ensure that all students will
have the opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge and
values necessary to be successful.
The School Creed
Sanford Collegiate desires to create a respectful, open-minded

our school seen as a good place to be, a place students want
to attend.

School Year
The school year is divided into two semesters. Final examinations
are scheduled at the end of each semester. One credit courses
are scheduled every day during the semester and half credit
courses are scheduled on alternate days. The school timetable
operates on a five period day with three periods in the morning
and two periods in the afternoon. In order that no class be
overly affected by assemblies, morning announcements or early
dismissal for school events, the 3 morning classes rotate
and the 2 afternoon classes alternate. The timetable allows
students to earn a maximum of five credits per semester and
ten credits for the school year. Sanford Collegiate requires
students to earn a total of 30 credits to meet graduation
requirements which is 2 credits above the provincial requirement
of 28 credits.
