Sundance Montessori School

Past and Present

Since 1989, Sundance Montessori School has been providing excellent education in a safe, warm, caring environment, while recognizing and meeting the individualized needs of each child.

Our school consists of three primary classes, (one half and two full-day schedules) and one lower elementary class. We serve children ages 3-9, or preschool through third grade.

On our campus, you will also find a playground, library, children's garden, before and after school care, and a main office.

We welcome vistors and would be happy to answer questions and give you a tour of our beautiful school. All visitors must check in with the office before coming on campus, though. Please contact us for more information.

Peace Education

At Sundance, we also share in Maria Montessori's vision of providing children a foundation centered on peace. Dr. Montessori was trice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and in 1932 Dr. Montessori addressed the League of Nations in Geneva with these words:

"The Science of Peace, were it to become a special discipline, would be the most noble of all, for the very life of humanity depends on it. So, also perhaps, does the question of whether our entire civilization evolves or disappears."(Dr. Maria Montessori)

It is our goal to educate our children in a way that will support a peaceful present and a peaceful future for them and for all mankind.

Be sure to visit our beautiful Peace Pole, located at the front of the school, the next time you're on campus. You can read about our dedication of the Peace Pole HERE.

What parents are saying about us

• Our oldest daughter spent three wonderful, inspiring years at Sundance, so it was only natural for us to choose Sundance for our second daughter as well. Sundance is not "just" a school but also a community. As parents we always feel at home there, and our help and input is always welcome. The environment in Sundance promotes many values such as diversity, tolerance, creativity, and academic excellence. Sundance is blessed to have teachers that are not only professional but also deeply dedicated to the kids and highly invested in bringing each and every child to fulfill their potential. Personally, what affected our oldest daughter the most was to be able to learn to read at a very early age. Being the bookworm that she is, this turned out to be the best gift Sundance could have given her. We are thankful for having Sundance in our life! - Orna & Yoav

• As a family, we love Sundance Montessori, not only because of the strong academic curriculum and staff but also because of all the social and emotional growth we have observied in our son. In just a few months, Sebastian has turned into a confident, independent child with a profound sense of belonging to his school, always interested on learning new things and sharing them with his peers and teachers. Thank you Sundance Montessori! - Pablo & Carol

• I have been a parent at the Sundance Montessori School for four years and I have many wonderful experiences with this school. What I like most about Sundance Montessori is their self-directed and self-discipiined learning strategy. Children learn to pick their activity and finish it at their own discretion. This IS the best way to educate chiidren. My son started reading from the age of 4 - before Kindergarten - and is ahead of his peers in public school in math and science. The nourishing environment of this school helped my kids to be positive and motivated. Sundance Montessori is my kids' second home. - Maryam

• Sundance has been so much more than just a school for our children. They have developed social graces and internal motivation that serve them in every part of their lives. It is so rewarding to watch your child develop interests, to have those interests nurtured by their teachers, and then to own that knowledge that they earned and cultivated for themselves. This is a gift that they will use for all their lives. - Chloe
