Sonrise Christian School

Sonrise Christian School is committed to teaching the heart as well as the mind.
We know that the task of shaping lives is a call of ultimate significance.
When one sees the potential inherent in a child, teaching becomes less of a profession and more a sacred call.
The heart of teaching must be to help children discover their own boundless capacity to think, feel, explore and understand.
The mission of Sonrise Christian School is to create an environment in which children can experience the love of Jesus as they grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.
At Sonrise Christian School we advocate a way of life based on the truths and values of the Christian faith as revealed in the New Testament.
Sonrise Christian School is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Sonrise is an incorporated not-for-profit organization with strong traditional links to the Churches of Christ.
