Sunrise Schools: Educating the Whole Child

Our Curriculum

Children in the classroom

At Sunrise, we strive to awaken in the children a joy of learning and a thirst for knowledge that will remain with them all their lives. While working with the UK National Curriculum, we provide varied activites that allow for self-directed learning.

Imaginative play, games and stories enhance instruction and the Montessori approach nurtures motivation and concentration. Yoga exercises, sports and a vegetarian diet encourage a healthy and co-ordinated body. Music, arts, dance and drama provide scope for Sunrise children to discover their expressive skills and a deep appreciation of the arts.

Through gardening, nature studies and care for animals, a true ecological consciousness is awakened in the children who come to feel themselves as part of Nature.

At Sunrise, the children practise a simple form of meditation. Feeling love within each day develops a direct experience of the inner self and a feeling of oneness with others and the world around.

Sunrise's unique curriculum imparts character building values – integrity, moral courage, self-confidence, self-reliance and a spirit of service.
