Sunlight Christian Academy shines the light of God's word into learning for children who bear his image and have a place in his care.

Christian World-and-Life View
Every school is based upon a specific system of beliefs, whether it is governed and guided by the government, a private board, or a church. Sunlight Christian Academy is no exception. Our basis is a distinctively Christian understanding of God and His world, which gives shape to the purpose of our school. A Comprehensive Learning Plan
Our curriculum has been designed with our unique purpose as a Christian school in mind. It is a comprehensive learning plan with clearly stated learning outcomes and objectives in every academic area (Mathematics, Language Arts, Bible, Fine Arts, Technology, etc.). These clearly stated objectives equip our faculty to provide outstanding instruction and enable us to accurately measure student achievement throughout the school year. Driven by Learning Outcomes and Objectives
It is difficult to hit a target that is poorly defined. Because many schools have not developed clearly stated learning outcomes and objectives, they resort to instruction that amounts to marching through a textbook. When this happens, the educational result can only be as good as the textbook is good. At Sunlight Christian Academy Upper School, we care much more about whether our students have mastered the learning objectives and goals than whether we have been able to finish any particular textbook. Our teachers appeal creatively to many different learning styles in their instruction. Individualized Instruction
Every child at Sunlight Christian Academy Upper School is a unique and important bearer of God’s image. For this reason, we refuse to allow even one to simply blend into the crowd. That is why we maintain an individual academic profile for every child that charts his/her learning in each area of our curriculum. Accountability through Assessment
Accountability is the buzzword in education today. We embrace this value in everything we do. The education of your child is important, and we want to make sure they are striving to meet our learning outcomes and objectives. With our system of assessment you will know for certain how well your child is meeting the learning objectives. Excellent Faculty
Our classroom teachers are of an excellent caliber. They are well-trained educational professionals that are properly credentialed.

Dear Sunlight Families,

After continued monitoring and careful consideration, we have made the decision to keep both Sunlight campuses closed on Friday, November 6.

School will reopen on Monday, November 9.

While some areas of Port St. Lucie have improved, several neighborhoods, roads, and intersections remain significantly flooded. *We have attached a graphic of road closures in the comments.

We believe allowing the weekend for additional drying and cleanup is the safest decision, while also giving our staff, students, and families time to continue recovering, address vehicle damage, and make necessary repairs.

This has truly been an unprecedented event and a challenging week for our community. However, through these difficulties, it has been beautiful to witness neighbors, friends, and families coming together to support one another. What a wonderful reminder that even in the darkest moments, God's light shines the brightest!

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and grace throughout this unexpected week and are extremely grateful to be part of such an incredible Sunlight Family.

As we look forward to the weekend, we would also like to invite our Sunlight families to join us for worship this Sunday at Sunlight Community Church:

PGA Campus – 9:00 AM
St. Lucie West Campus – 10:30 AM

Nursery and Kids' Church are available at both services. What a wonderful opportunity to come together, reconnect, and give thanks to God for His protection and continued faithfulness as our community recovers.

Please continue to keep those impacted by the flooding in your prayers. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, November 9!

Blessings,
Sarah Wilson Hyde, Head of Schools

We have been so very excited about our first ever College and Community Resource Fair that was supposed to take place tomorrow evening, so postponing it was a difficult decision. However, it means more to us that everyone who wants to attend do so and get here safely. We are working on a new date that's just a few weeks out and as soon as we have confirmation we will share it with all of you! Thank you for understanding!

Dear Sunlight Families,

As we shared yesterday, the safety and well being of our Sunlight family will always be our highest priority.

While we had hoped conditions would improve enough to reopen tomorrow, however many areas throughout Port St. Lucie remain significantly flooded. Several of our students, families, and staff live in neighborhoods that are still experiencing dangerous conditions, and some have even had to abandon their vehicles due to rising water.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision for both campuses to remain closed on Wednesday, November 4, allowing our community one additional day for flood waters to recede, roads to clear, and families to begin cleaning up and recovering.

We wanted to communicate this decision as early as possible today so that our families have ample time to make any necessary arrangements for tomorrow.

We recognize that unexpected closures create challenges, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.

PGA Upper School Campus College & Community Resource Fair and High School Information Night previously scheduled for 11/5 has been postponed. We will update you with the new date as soon as possible.

Please continue to stay safe and join us in praying for everyone impacted by the flooding.

God bless,
Sarah Wilson Hyde, Head of Schools

Good morning. Sunlight follows the lead of the St. Lucie County School District in weather closures. Unfortunately they deemed it safe to hold school. It wasn't until our staff began driving on the roads we experienced how bad the flooding was.

According to the radar the rain will start getting heavy again around 11am. Therefore, we decided for the safety of all families we would cancel school and conduct an early dismissal for those who have already been dropped off.

I understand it has been confusing and frustrating for some, and for that I apologize. However, we are making the best decision possible for the safety of everyone.

Thank you for your understanding. Car loop will take place from 9:00 to 10:00 for anyone who is unable to pick up before then. School will officially close at 10am.

STAY SAFE and God bless.

🚨 URGENT: BOTH SUNLIGHT CAMPUSES CLOSING TODAY 🚨

Sunlight families, please make arrangements to pick up your children NO LATER THAN 10:00 AM today.

🚗 Car Loop Pickup: 9:00–10:00 AM
📍 Both Upper and Lower School campuses will be closing.

While Sunlight Christian Academy typically follows St. Lucie County Public Schools regarding weather-related closures, and the district has remained open today, after prayerful consideration, and the fact this afternoon heavier rainfall is expected at 11am, we have made the decision that conditions are not safe for our students, families, and staff.

We sincerely apologize for the short notice and inconvenience this may cause. We understand that unexpected changes like this can be challenging for our families, but the safety and well-being of our Sunlight community will always come first.

🍎 LUNCH REFUNDS: All Seasons Foods has graciously offered to refund all lunches purchased for today. We are incredibly grateful for their flexibility and support!

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and cooperation as we work together to get everyone home safely.

Please travel carefully, stay safe, and join us in praying for the safety of our entire community. ❤️🙏
