Our mission is to deliver exceptional learning experiences through two key initiatives

Super Premium K-12 Schools

We develop greenfield projects in the super-premium K-12 segment, addressing the gap between increasing demand and the shortage of educational placements in growing demographics across the U.S. We are particularly focused on tackling this critical issue in Florida, where it is slowing down its economic transformation of major urban areas.

Network of Early Education Centers

At Sunny Schools network, we believe in the power of integrating and operating a community of high-quality schools across the USA. Our goal is to create a lasting impact on society by opening new opportunities for future generations and empowering our teachers with the tools they need to become agents of change. Each school in our network is distinguished by its adherence to the highest quality standards and the trust it builds within its local community. While preserving their unique local heritage, our schools also benefit from the shared resources and support of being part of a larger community.

Initiatives

We focus on regions with significant supply-demand imbalances. Our comprehensive approach includes:

  • Identifying prime locations for new schools
  • Securing and structuring the real estate required for a new school
  • Partnering with world-renowned school brands
  • Operating the developed or acquired schools

By leading these efforts, we ensure that our schools provide unparalleled educational opportunities and meet the highest standards of excellence.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to be a recognized leader in education, known for our commitment to quality, community trust, and the empowerment of educators. We aim to create a future where every student has access to excellent educational opportunities and every teacher is supported to become a catalyst for positive change. By maintaining the distinct heritage of each school and leveraging the collective strength of our network, we aspire to make a lasting difference in the lives of students and the broader community.

Mission

Our mission is to blend the unique local character of each school with the advantages of a network dedicated to providing outstanding educational programs. We strive to create environments where students can excel and teachers are empowered to inspire and lead, ensuring that every child receives an education that prepares them for a successful future.
