Sunlight Christian Academy
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 three locations: St. Lucie West, PGA, and Lake Worth! We serve over 800 students from preschool through eighth grade, and we are also laying the foundation to start 9th grade in the 2024-2025 school year!
