I am truly excited to share my outstanding experience with Sonrise Christian School. When my son was getting ready to promote from Pre-K I had what I felt was a dilemma on my hands. Where was I going to send my son to school? He had been attending an outstanding Pre-School and is very smart so I needed to find a school where he would be challenged academically and where his father and I would feel "safe" sending him to school everyday. While safety, academics, atmosphere and community were a concern, we felt a little hopeless. We thought, where would we ever find a place that would meet all of our needs?! Then I remembered Sonrise Christian School! Many years ago my nephews attended there (now both are very successful attending high profile Universities) and my brother highly recommended I go for a tour. Needless to say "we fell in love!" My husband and I left in tears knowing, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this was the place for our son!" Ms. Lori was a tremendous help to us, as she gave us a tour and answered ALL of our questions with the most loving care and concern for all of our needs. We stepped out in faith and enrolled him. We had a meeting with the principle Mr. Patel and we felt a final confirmation that this was the school for our son! He truly is a man of faith, character, integrity and has the most love, care and concern for all of the students at Sonrise Christian. He truly does care for every student and their family. He will stop at nothing to ensure that Sonrise Christian has the best teaching staff who really care for their students like family. My son started his journey in the fall of 2018. To date this has been the BEST INVESTMENT we could ever make in our sons life! His teacher Ms. Reggio and her Aid Ms. Viramontes are absolutely wonderful! Ms. Reggio truly has a gift for teaching! She is able to challenge my son to continue to learn and strive for excellence in all areas while making him feel loved and important all at the same time! Ms. Viramontes is also loving and caring and both of them will always go above and beyond their jobs to ensure that my son and we, his parents, are always informed and are doing all we can at home to help facilitate our sons educational growth and experience. Both teachers share our values, morals and concerns which is important to us because our children spend many hours daily in the classroom. They too are women of character, integrity and faith. My husband and I are both very satisfied with our Sonrise experience and highly recommend Sonrise to anyone who is reading this review. When you are choosing a school to send your child to climate, atmosphere and academics should all be of concern to you. Sonrise Christian School has the best of all of these areas. It truly is a family atmosphere where the Principle, Teachers and its staff are professional, caring, always available and very helpful. We highly recommend Sonrise Christian school to whomsoever and are so very grateful to God for leading us there. Our son is growing academically, spiritually and personally while loving his school all at the same time! They have awesome events for the students and their families and have created a culture of school spirit that is unmatched!That is hard to find in the school system today. I know because worked in the public school system for years. Sonrise Christian school prepares our son for a successful academic and faith based future everyday and for that we are grateful. They are changing the lives of children who attend there, one destiny at a time! read more

My daughter got Type 1 Diabetes (insulin dependent) when she was 9 yrs old. She was in a public school with a health clerk helping. Often they would find me by phone before they found the school RN, if they needed help. The IEP was just for show and very right. Often I had to intervene cause the RN of the school district would take forever to arrive and I would guide the health clerk and my child on what to do. When she was ready for Middle School I couldn't bear sending her to the school they assigned us to. I chose Sonrise Christian School. I wanted Christian education for her. All the other moms of diabetic kids that were our friends thought I was crazy and told me that it's dangerous and that my kid would die and I will sue Sonrise sooner or later. I was a single mom. When she reached 6th grade I was in the same situation plus she was now a diabetic. It couldn't have been more odd. But, by walking in the campus and meeting the staff ( Mrs. Walulik, Mrs. Lori Kilmurray, Mr. Patel ) I knew that my child would be safe, would be loved, and would be taken care of for who she was. Both ladies got trained by me and jumped right on board. My daughter has also Celiac Disease so I would pack her lunch box and mark all the carbs of the items. Mrs. Walulik would check my daughter's lunch box daily, add up all the carbs of what she wanted to eat, calculate the insulin and text me for their actions. They did it before I even called. Three months in the year I had full trust on their math and actions. They rarely needed my help. Mrs. Lori was quick to help with Grace's high or low sugar numbers and would drop everything in order to make things safe. The teachers and the coaches got trained too. Soon the whole middle school knew about her, and knew a bit more about Type 1 Diabetes. When my daughter got a beeping on her sugar monitor they were all checking to make sure she is ok, offering juices or any help. She was in the soccer team for 3 years. Never once did they need to use the glucagon shot! The coaches had glucose tablets in their gear! They loved on my daughter and helped her live a normal life like any other kid. They treated her like family. My child had the best academic education, the best care for her diabetes, and the best christian environment that I could have ever placed her in. All that because she was at Sonrise. I regret that I didn't have her there in Elementary school. I wish there was a Sonrise High School so we don't have to leave now. God bless Sonrise! The best school ever!!! read more

Sonrise School, where kids grow in the son! I have watched my daughter Melody grow to a teenager. Not only has Melody grown physically, but she also has grown spiritually. Daily prayers at flag salute and chapel plus morning devotions have been a great asset to her growth and faith. Great teachers, staff, and aides have all been instrumental into what Melody has become. As parents we pushed her to work hard and in middle school Sonrise offered placement math tests to help determine what math she should take. Mrs. Walulik, the principal, walked us through the process and this year in 8th grade Melody took Algebra 1. This helped propel her further for in high school she will take Advanced Algebra. She will also take English honors as well as Biology. True testimony to the great preparation Sonrise has given her as well as the rest of the students. Great teachers that inspire the students to excel academically and socially. Also, Sonrise starts exposing the students to different high schools as soon as they start middle school. Community service hours are part of their grade to encourage serving others as Jesus would. Field trips in every grade add into their learning experience. The last trip in 8th grade is a tour to the East Coast. Talk about 10 days of pure adventure starting at the nations Capital (D.C), museums, Arlington VA, PA, NY to see a Broadway show, and then Boston before traveling back West to CA. Shout out to Mr. Patel, the head of school, for his LOVE for Sonrise and the commitment to make sure every student, teacher, and parent feel they are the only one in the audience. God bless and keep Sonrise strong. This is the place to take your little ones as they maneuver their way into the world of academics. Give Sonrise a try. My wife and I did, and we are grateful and thankful for the journey we took 8 years ago! read more

Since the moment that we walked through the doors of Sonrise we felt God's presence and love. Our hearts are grateful to all godly , devoted and passionate educators in Pre school and Pre-K. Mrs. Maria in the pre school class is an inspiration of commitment and dedication .The love for her profession is evident in everything she does . She's a real momma to the kiddos with her patience nurturing toward the children in her charge. Mrs. Maria cares deeply about each and every child's education and emotional stability. I have been very impressed to see students from elementary school come back to her classroom just to say hi and embrace her. Mrs. Victoria's wisdom, energy, and her enthusiasm is contagious . We were awed to see how she manages the whole classroom, especially "the magical children's nap time", and play time since the first day of school. Mrs. Lisa always does a wonderful communication job with parents. She was able to competently address all concerns that were brought to her attention and help us to feel more comfortable with our children's preschool experience.. She even educated us on techniques that we could use at home to support their efforts in the classroom and help our children's progress to stay on track. Her prayers , suggestions, and words of wisdom to parents are always a powerful direction in the children's school journey . They all keep their classrooms organized and the students under supervision while still making the atmosphere fun and exciting every day. Thank you to every staff member at Sonrise for giving to my children the tools, instruction in their hearts and mind to live a life style based on Jesus message of truth and love ! read more

A few years ago, we enrolled our son, Charlie, into the preschool program. We saw him grow in leaps and bounds socially and spiritually as he began to learn about Jesus. Every day he would come home reciting short scripture verses or singing songs of worship. It was such a delight seeing him develop. This past year we enrolled him into the kindergarten class. Ms Meghan is so loving and caring in that class. She kept us up to date with weekly emails and approached every lesson with enthusiasm and focus. The entire class was reading within a few months which we found so amazing! This year, we also enrolled our two older boys, Alex and Derek. They were in 6th grade and were struggling in the public school system. The amount of time the teachers and principle took to help our twin boys adjust to the new school was touching and really showed that they were willing to do all they could to help our sons succeed. Each and every one of the teachers truly care about Alex and Derek and it showed. They focused on the positive attributes which built a confidence in them to try harder. The school begins every day with all the classes gathered on the playground. They say the pledge of allegiance, make announcements, celebrate birthdays, sing a song, and one student offers prayer. When I drop the boys off I love spending those first five minutes with them. It feels much more like a family than a school. All in all, sending our boys to Sonrise was the best choice we could have ever made for our children. I want to thank everyone at the school for being a part of our lives and for all their efforts. You are truly appreciated! read more

We were looking for a preschool for my son. We visited many preschools in the area, but one thing that really stood about Sonrise was the large classrooms and the big play yard. My son thrived in Mrs. Maria's class and then moved up to Mrs. Lisa's class the following year. My son is now in Miss Reggio's kindergarten class and he is thriving. He is reading level 2 books and we barely hit the 100th day of school mark! I'm so proud of him. The foundation that he received in preschool set the tone for his success in kindergarten. I am grateful for all of the preschool teachers at Sonrise who helped get my son to where he is at today. Miss Reggio and her kinder team are true superstars! They are compassionate, patient, strict, but truly loving to the point where my son can't get enough of his kinder class. He enjoys every minute of his time in class. He often talks about how much he misses his teacher and classmates each weekend. The kid simply can't get enough. For a dad who wants the best for his son, that is the best feeling in the world! I believe that the best thing that I could have ever done was raising him in the Sonrise Christian School system. Now my daughter is in Mrs. Maria's class and she is blossoming. She is on track to follow in the footsteps of her big brother. I can't rave highly enough about this fantastic school. The leadership, family atmosphere, academic excellence, and true love that is expressed towards my family is a total blessing. I love Sonrise Christian School! read more

Five years ago when it came time to sending my son to preschool I began doing my research and going to check out different preschools. I had already checked out three schools before I ended up at Sonrise the Covina campus which was recommended to me by a relative and a coworker. As soon as I walked in, I knew this would be his preschool. Right away I felt a sense of welcome, calming, and a nurturing vibe all at once. Then it came time to meet the teachers and that is when I fell in love with Ms. Lisa!!! What can I say. I have been a teacher for a while now and can spot the qualities of a good teacher instantly. Ms. Lisa is someone who possesses all of those qualities. She is so nurturing and loving yet firm when she needs to. My son came out of TK reading and I owe this to her. Fast forward four years later. This time there was no need for researching schools because I knew my daughter would be attending Sonrise for TK. We are now almost at the end of the school year and once again I owe Ms. Lisa so much for everything that she has done for my daughter. Our daughter loves coming to school so much that she wishes she could live at Sonrise. Every time I go pick her up she never wants to leave. Thank you Sonrise and especially to Ms. Lisa for teaching and most importantly for loving my little ones like if they were your own! read more

Sonrise is A Wonderful School That Feels Like Family As a proud grandmother of three boys currently attending this incredible school, I can't say enough good things about the experience our family has had here. From the moment we first visited, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and care. The staff, teachers, and administrators are not only highly skilled but truly dedicated to the well-being and growth of each child. Each of my grandsons is unique, and I've watched them all thrive in their own ways--academically, socially, and emotionally. The school fosters a nurturing environment that emphasizes character, kindness, and a love for learning. I especially appreciate the open communication between teachers and families--it feels like we're all working together as a team. The campus is safe, well-maintained, and filled with opportunities for exploration and creativity. Whether it's the small class sizes, the individualized attention, or the rich curriculum, this school goes above and beyond. As a grandmother, nothing is more comforting than knowing your grandchildren are in a place where they are loved, supported, and inspired every single day. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful school community! read more

Sonrise Christian has been the perfect school for my son. Their academic program is excellent, with a lot of enrichments like art, music, language, science, and technology. The basic curricula of math, reading, and writing have all addressed his individual needs and strengths, so he's able to excel in each area. As a pastor and parent, my two top concerns are that my little guy learns the Bible and experiences the love of God while at school. Sonrise has a great Bible program, but equally important is the fact that they have chapel three times a week and other Christian living activities. My favorite among those is the Life Group. During his whole time at Sonrise, my son will have a group of students from each grade that he learns biblical life lessons with. The groups keep the same students together year after year, so he has friends from every grade. His teacher loves him like he's her own! The students and the faculty look out for each other at Sonrise, encouraging and praying for one another through all the victories and sorrows. I thank God for my son's school and I wish more kids could experience the education and love that he receives there. read more

This Review is for the Covina campus. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation towards this school, but most importantly to the teachers that make all the magic happen. I have my son attending preschool now and soon will be transitioning to TK. I can't emphasize enough the importance to have qualified teachers to teach our kids, not only the educational curriculum side of it but also in the process of building their character such as being caring, honest, loving and understanding. Mrs. Lisa is one of the BEST pre school teachers here at Sonrise. She is the reason why I decided to bring my children here to this school. ( I have two children currently attending.) She truly cares about our kids and she genuinely pours her love and dedication in everything she does. If your debating on bringing your child/children please don't hesitate, you will not regret it! My 4 year old looks forward going to school everyday and cries on the weekends because school is closed. This is a true testament of how impactful the teachers at Sonrise are. read more

I have one son who graduated from Sonrise Preschool and another who is currently attending. It wasn't easy when my first son attended. He would cry and scream for me, and I would leave in tears. Every day, 10 minutes after I would leave, I would always get a reassuring phone call that he was perfectly fine. It is Sonrise Christian that gave my son his passion for God and the Bible. Not only that, he excels academically and I owe it to all the amazing teachers who truly care about the well being and success of each and every one of their students. Mrs. Lisa has an amazing curriculum for both kids that are just in preschool and/or planning on moving onto kindergarten . She engages the children in all 5 senses and makes learning fun! For anyone considering Sonrise Christian Preschool being their home, I highly recommend them. Set up a tour so you can see for yourself that it is like a family there! read more

My children feel safe, happy, and confident attending Sonrise Christian School. They look forward to school each day. They don't like vacation or off days because they love being at school. My now 2nd grader learned to read in preschool and is now reading at a 4th grade level. My soon to be kindergartner is already reading too. Sonrise is community based and family centric. Students are very kind and families are genuinely warm. During the pandemic, Sonrise was one of the only schools open in the area. The way they navigated through the pandemic was flawless. The school added new classrooms, installed a fence, security cameras, smart tvs in each classroom, new health protocols, and had no covid outbreaks. We are very grateful for this school. Enrolling my kids at Sonrise has been the best decision we have ever made as parents. read more

We started with Sonrise when our first kiddo was in preschool. He is now wrapping up first grade and our second little one is now enrolled in their preschool. If you are looking for a school with strong integration of faith in learning, then Sonrise is the school for you. Not only are our children growing in their academic knowledge through the strong curriculum the school provides, but they are being poured into spiritually as well. Mrs. Martinez has been a phenomenal teacher! We are so blessed to have had her for our 1st grade teacher. She was always attentive to our child's needs and took into account his individual strengths and weaknesses. She always encouraged him to do his best and worked with him when he needed that extra push. The school and teachers are amazing and we highly recommend it to everyone! read more

My daughter has been at Sonrise Christian School in Covina, CA since she was 2 years old. Our Sonrise Administration, Teachers and Staff are closely involved with each student. They all care about our kids and they teach them strong values as well as provide an excellent curriculum. She will graduate from 8th grade next week and she is in 9th grade math now and ready to take 3 honors/AP classes in public High School next year. Next week we open the Kindergarten Time Capsule and we are very excited. I saw that yesterday several 2019 Seniors who are graduating high school now and attended Sonrise came back to Sonrise to do a "senior walk". We love the family oriented environment. We have no younger children and we will miss Sonrise as we move on to the new adventure of High School!! read more

My son, Ethan, has been attending Sonrise Christian School since kindergarten and I have to say it has been a wonderful experience for him. There was no one day that he had to drag himself to school. Sonrise provides him with a safe and pleasant environment to learn, grow, and mature. Sonrise focuses on Christ-centered education with teachers and staffs dedicate themselves to the students with love and TLC. Teachers are well experienced in what they do and they deliver top notch education with love and kindness in which students learn, observe, and model from them constantly and that is something you would not get at other schools. I am forever grateful for the foundation you have established for my son and are forever indebted to your school for this. Thank you, Sonrise family! read more

I have been a Sonrise parent for 5 years. I have had such a great experience with this school. Friendly teachers, great staff, and awesome students. They share a great passion for the Lord. The kids have weekly chapels that include praise music and I have definitely seen the love for Jesus in my children. My kids started in Preschool and have continued on from there. I think this school is one of the top schools that I have ever seen. They have a Laptop Learning Program that is so important for our children. We are moving into a technological future and the fact that the Kindergarteners have computer time once a week and by third grade they get their own laptops to own is so awesome. This school is nothing but a blessing, praise God. The new staff changes have been a God-send. read more

Sonrise is by far the best Christian based preschool. I love how each individual staff member/teacher really take a personal interest in mine and my daughters needs. I love the classroom size which is a big deal for me when it comes to learning and my daughters education. I am so blessed I made the choice to pick Sonrise Christian Preschool for my daughters early education. I really love how they take time to worship daily so that the children start to build a relationship with God . We love Mrs. Lisa , Mrs, Jen, Mrs. Victoria and Mrs Maria they are such an great big asset and are heaven sent to Sonrise Preschool. I look forward to hopefully continuing my daughters education at Sonrise Christian School for kindergarten. read more

Sonrise Christian School is a great place to have your children learn. We first enrolled our daughter in kindergarten after we heard what a great school it was. They exceeded all expectations. From her first teacher to her last, they all treat her as if she was their own. The love and support that is felt there is amazing! Contagious! It feels like one big family. They provide an atmosphere that's always open to everyone no matter the background. Not to mention the academic structure they provide. My daughter isn't too happy about that, but I am. Its been a pleasure to see my daughter learn and grow there at Sonrise christian school. I know she is in the right hands. read more

Our children started in the preschool program and are now in 3rd and 5th grade. I can't say enough about the role SCS has played in the academic and spiritual development of our children. They provide a challenging curriculum while also supporting the unique and individual learning styles of each child. ALL of the teachers and administration have been amazing and love your child like they were their own. Most recently, both our children were in Ms. Carrera's class. She has has been such an blessing to us and has been a true partner in supporting the academic growth and confidence of our children. We are so thankful to have been referred to Sonrise Christian School! read more
