Overview

Mission

To operate a K-12 Sudbury-model day school

What it reported doing in 2024

South Jersey Sudbury School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2015 with the mission to provide South Jersey with the amazing, one-of-a-kind Sudbury Model, created by Sudbury Valley School in 1968. The Sudbury Model is different from most types of education in all the best ways. At our school, students K-12 are given complete freedom with how they spend their day in our mixed-age learning environment. This means when a student arrives at school each day, it is completely up to them to decide what to do; whatever interests them is what they will spend their time doing. It could be anything from editing a movie, coding their own custom video game, studying math, painting, drawing, writing a screenplay, building a fort outside, discussing philosophy, or just playing with their friends. The sky is the limit for how they seize the day!

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
