● Waking up and being excited to go to school.
● Students K-12 having an equal say and equal vote.
● Students deciding what they want to learn.
● A school with no classes, no grades, and no homework.
● A school where students love learning.
This all may seem like complete fantasy,
but it doesn’t have to be…
South Jersey’s Premier Democratic, Self-Directed School,
SJSS was founded in 2015 and modeled after the renowned Sudbury Valley School. South Jersey Sudbury School provides students with an unmatched model of education in our area. The Sudbury Model allows students to discover and dive deep into their passions in a completely self-directed, mixed-age learning environment- where children learn to truly love learning. The school is governed entirely by a democratic School Meeting consisting of all students and staff. This means that everyone, from a five-year-old student to an adult staff member, all have an equal say and vote. These unique qualities of the Sudbury Model foster in our students from a young age unparalleled skills in emotional intelligence, curiosity, communication, self-advocacy, problem-solving, responsibility, leadership, and so much more!
At South Jersey Sudbury School, kids are given the time to discover and pursue anything and everything that intrigues them,
and the results speak for themselves.
“The social and problem solving skills gained at SJSS through the self-directed learning and democratic processes are ones that are completely unmatched by all other types of education. They simply don’t exist anywhere else.”
Daniel Marcus,
SJSS Graduate
