Our Mission

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. We strive to provide a loving and safe environment in which children can explore God and His world from a distinctively Christian point of view.

At our school, you will discover an excellent and loving faculty that is well-educated and properly credentialed. We provide a healthy balance of teacher-directed and child-centered learning, through whole group, small group and individualized instruction, and according to measurable learning outcomes. Experiences are provided that meet each child’s needs and stimulate learning in all developmental areas including physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

Sunlight Christian Academy is a mission school; families from all walks of life and religious backgrounds are welcome to become part of our school.

Ministry

Sunlight Christian Academy is a ministry of Sunlight Community Church. Back in 2004, two unwelcome guests, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne, made landfall in Port St. Lucie. Many homes and businesses in our community were damaged, including a local secular preschool. Fortunately our church building was in good condition, so we offered to house the small preschool until their building was repaired. We believe this was God’s way of showing us we had the potential to open up our very own Christ-centered preschool in St. Lucie West.

We opened our doors in January 2006, with only 8 students. We have been blessed beyond measure with children and families seeking a high-quality spiritual and academic education. Today, we have two locations, St. Lucie West and Lake Worth, and we serve over 800 students from preschool through eighth grade. Our Upper School campus will be opening in January of 2024.

"My daughter started Sunlight Academy in the school year 2021-2022, coming from a public school I knew it will be a challenging transition. During the school year my daughter was endangered of failing 3 grade, words can't explain the support I had from her teachers to make the third grade a successful one. Between emails and her academic plans for a successful year, we made it happen. Every day during the school year I ask my daughter things she learned and her response is always a positive one. I enjoyed the accountability and responsibility the school gives to our children. I look forward for the upcoming year."

"Our family highly recommends Sunlight! We found this wonderful school when my daughter was in VPK and now both of our children are enrolled. The elementary curriculum is excellent. We started this year "virtual" and switched back to "in person" and we can attest that both platforms provide the same high level of learning. In addition, the entire staff is friendly and helpful and they truly show God's love in all they do. We are so blessed to be part of the Sunlight family!"

"There is no other place like SCA. As a former teacher and as a current first-time mommy, I would not want to place my sweet girl anywhere else because of knowing the type of care that takes place within its walls. The staff go above and beyond to meet the needs of each and every one of their students, and you can’t help but feel such love from this very special place. SCA is safe, nurturing, and provides an incredible education for its students, and I cannot wait to see my daughter walk the halls of a place I once considered my second home."

"This place is such a special place. I am beyond impressed with the genuine LOVE that is shown at Sunlight. The academics are amazing, but when your child comes home telling you all about how much God loves them with a huge smile on their face.... Well, it doesn't get much better than that. THANK you Sunlight for all you do to help our kiddos thrive!"

"Besides the Christian atmosphere, Sunlight Christian Academy has great academics and culture. I love that every adult knows the students, prays with and for each of them, and puts God first always. Sunlight is truly a special place, that I am proud to be part of."

"If you’re looking for a place that puts God first, this is the place. We’ve had our kids at Sunlight since 2012 and it’s been such a blessing to our family. The curriculum, the staff & the friends we’ve made will benefit our family for a lifetime. So grateful for this school and everything it stands for!"
