About Us
Sundance College’s journey began in Calgary in the mid-2010s when a dedicated group of professionals, representing over 100 years of education-sector experience, came together to establish a college that would provide an exceptional learning experience and support system. From inception, Sundance College’s founding mission has been to “Support Student Success”.
Whether a staff member works in the admissions, student finance, administration, education or career services areas, everyone works together to support students and their success. If our students are successful, then the college is successful. Sundance College also instituted a mastery-based learning educational philosophy which further supports student learning and a positive supportive learning culture amongst students.
From its humble beginnings, Sundance College has grown to be one of the largest colleges in its category, now supporting students on campus and online across 12 provinces and territories in Canada.
