About Us

Educating the whole child since 1996

Sonrise Christian School was established in January 1996 as an English-medium school, situated at 28 Green Avenue, Edleen, Kempton Park, serving learners from Grade RR to 12. We are registered with the Gauteng Department of Education.

Our raison d'être is to provide a holistic approach to the education of children — imparting spiritual values as a foundation, promoting emotional wellbeing, developing physical interests and talents, and sharpening the life skills every child needs to become a mature, productive member of society.

Our mission is to assist parents in the nurturing of their children, using individualized, biblically based education to inspire young men and women to achieve their highest potential.

Our team of dedicated staff members all hold the necessary qualifications and are registered with the South African Council of Educators.

Our Vision

Godly citizens and leaders of the future

Our vision is to promote the spiritual health and stability of our community through the development of Godly citizens and leaders of the future.

Sport

Sport and sportsmanship at Sonrise is always founded on Biblical principles: God-honouring, developing every gift a child has been given, and emphasizing participation, teamwork and community.

We belong to SACSSA (South African Christian Schools' Sporting Association), competing each term in soccer, cross country, table tennis, athletics and volleyball against fellow member schools, plus quarterly inter-house events for every grade.
