Parent Experience

History
Sunrise School was founded in 2000 by a group of concerned like-minded parents who were unable to find a school with the quality of teaching and care they wanted for their children. These parents had a diverse background but shared a vision to create a community school that develops the whole child socially, emotionally and intellectually while nurturing their spirit. Yayasan Membina Api Kasih Kasih (MACK) or To Cultivate the Fire of Compassion Foundation is a Bali-based nonprofit involved with Sunrise School and Matahari Terbit Centre in Kerobokan, Bali. According to its Articles of Association, the foundation commits to providing educational programs both formal and informal, researching and developing projects in education and environmental science, establishing children's libraries, and collaborating with other educational institutions in teacher training, professional development and resource development.

Community
Sunrise School provides a safe, equitable, and caring learning environment where learners engage intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually. The school promotes lifelong learning and an integrated experience that balances freedom and structure, with a strong emphasis on the creative arts and environmental sustainability. Being a member of Sunrise School means belonging to a community described as an extended family, with programs and values carried throughout the curriculum and beyond. Community outreach and service are part of learning, including trips such as visits to mangrove forests to pick up rubbish.
