Sunchild School employs more than 50 professional and para-professional staff members. Each one of our staff is committed to providing a positive quality education experience for our students.
Check out not only our acedemic courses, but also the many lunchtime and after school activities and clubs hosted by our teachers. Sunchild School also offers numerous support services for mind and body to reach and support the whole person in everyone.
