Sonrise is much larger today than any of those founding parents could have imagined, but the commitment to that original vision holds firm: a vision of a school where children can grow spiritually, in character, and academically. A vision of a school that truly partners with parents, teaching and leading through example the values and beliefs of the Christian faith. Over the years God has blessed the school in so many different ways. Today, Sonrise has two wonderful campuses in Covina and San Dimas, a dedicated team of teachers and staff, hundreds of supportive families and thousands of graduates who are now living full and productive lives. Every day, children at Sonrise are learning and growing to be all that God has enabled them to be. Sonrise Christian School is truly a place where children can “grow in the Son.”
