The Sundance School, North Plainfield | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I love this school so much. I went here since Stars and the teachers and the students were very cooperative, patient, and kind. I had such a wonderful time at Sundance. I would always come to school with a smile on my face and I would say “I am ready to go to school, I can’t wait to see my friends and teachers.” I can’t even put this school into words it just makes me so glad that all the teachers believed in me and in the other students. And when something was wrong they helped us through it. And it made everyone so much happier and they went home and said “I had the best day at school.” It makes parents very happy for their child to say how much they are enjoying school. But it’s not just that, the curriculum is just outstanding. I loved the theater programs they had. Also there camps I highly recommended. There is a theater camp and a art camp. In the theater camp they have choices of 4 plays that you can sign up for and in the art camp you get to express your inner artist. I really love the creativity and community of this school. Of all the schools I have ever been to Sundance was the best. Sundance is my 2nd home. Everyone there I thought as my family, because of how they treat you and also how there is a balance of education and arts. Sundance will always be in heart. And forever my home.

I would be very careful when considering this school.

Positive:
– I will say that my child did get the attention, classroom flexibility, and education that we were promised.
– There are several excellent teachers in the school.

Negative:
– Since the founders sold the school several years ago (5?), the school has been struggling to redefine itself.
– There has been a new principal almost every year.
– Politics are high among the parents and within the administration (vyying for positions of influence).
– Clear favoritism within the theatre program (the children openly acknowledge it)

This school was amazing! I went here years ago, and was lucky enough to send my daughter here. The trust and love I have for the staff I cannot put into words. The education is very well structured and in an environment where your child is always thriving at all phases of the school year. I love this school so much and would highly recommend to any parent who cares about their children’s education and trusting who cares for their children!
