Our Story

From eight students to a family of more than seven hundred.

In 2006 — in the wake of the hurricanes that swept across Florida — a small group of families gathered with a big God-sized dream: a school where children would be loved, taught, and discipled in the truth of God's Word. We opened our doors with just eight students.

Nearly two decades later, more than 800 students across four campuses call Sunlight home. The mission hasn't changed — we still believe every child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and we're still honored to walk alongside their families.
