Our child just finished her first year at Sundance and we couldnt be happier with the school and teachers. Principal Katz will be missed greatly as she transitions to her new role. Thank you for a great year!!

My son and daughter attend the school and we have found the staff to be loving and caring. Their teachers go above and beyond to assist not only our child but all children at Sundance. Principal Katz is always outside campus greeting parents and ensuring the campus is safe. The school offers so many fun and unique programs during the day and after school. We love Sundance!

My son has autism and this has been his 3rd year receiving special education classroom instruction. The teachers are very supportive and understanding. Teachers communicate with the parents regularily regarding daily classroom activities. Mrs. Katz and the administration staff are very helpful as well. I am very happy that my son attends this school.

Unfortunately not an inclusive environment for my child with disabilities. Very punitive and not supportive or collaborative administration.

The school is well rounded offering both academics and extra curriculum activities. The PTA is active, and together with the Twin trials foundation which is also run by parents support programs in the school.

Sundance is a terrific school! I have a 1st grader,and a preschooler that attend. Both years my older child has attended he has been fortunate to have exceptional teachers that are nurturing, and solid in teaching the core academic subjects. My preschooler loves going to school, and is having a great first experience. The principal and staff have created a positive place to learn.
