Private School approved Grade 1 & 2

The Sandwich School Committee approved the addition of 1st and 2nd grade classrooms on March 10, 2021.

Attendance at a private school satisfies the compulsory attendance requirement if the school is approved by the school committee. Massachusetts General Laws (Mass. Gen. Laws) chapter (c.) 76, §1. (The “school committee” in Massachusetts is the local educational agency.)

School committees will approve a private school when satisfied that its instruction equals the public schools in the same town in thoroughness and efficiency and that private students are making the same progress as public school students. A school committee may not withhold approval based on the school’s religious teaching. Mass. Gen. Laws c. 76, §1.
