Whole Child Development

Students get opportunities across a variety of interests whether it be sports, art and design, or music

Our whole child approach to education focuses on developing each child’s self-awareness, intrinsic capability, and collaboration skills so that they can successfully navigate their future. Our teachers draw on students’ passions, talents, and learning styles to create an education that cultivates the whole child - academically, socially, and emotionally.

Deeply Personalised Learning

We celebrate the individuality of every learner encouraging them to find their own answers

Our small class sizes ensure that our teachers give individualized attention to every student and share strong personal bonds with them. Starting academic year 2016-17, we have launched a comprehensive technology integration program under which all students above Grade 5 have a tablet or a laptop of their own. These personalised devices help teachers gather data on student performance and interests more effectively enabling them to customise the learning journey of each and every child.

TSS Vision

"I never teach my pupils, I only provide the conditions in which they can learn." - Albert Einstein

Childhood is the most crucial period of life, as it is then, that the basic foundations of one’s personality, character and other useful traits are imbibed. A congenial atmosphere conducive to intellectual and moral growth definitely helps. We at Sunshine School have been working towards that end. To attain success there is no substitute to hard work and we do our bit to make our pupils succeed in whatever field they may choose. By rational thinking together with hard work and by the grace of God, men at all times have written their destinies. This school is a step in that direction and an ode to the Lord.

Our history

The Sunshine school was established during the school year 1972 by Mrs. Cynthia Mathur who was till then working with the prestigious The Rajkumar College. Mrs. Mathur had her education in Ajmer before she took up a job with RkC. The humble School, located in an old heritage building started with just a handful of pupils up to the primary school. With time, numbers started to increase as the School received support from parents and citizens alike, and was seen as a center for quality education at affordable and reasonable fees.

This previously small school, originally populated by the local children, was quickly becoming a significant school of repute. Such overwhelming response also encouraged the promoters to start a new school for the local students that followed Gujarati as a medium of instruction.

So, the Sunshine School –Gujarati Medium was born.

Within a few years it was quite clear that a second building would have to be constructed to allow the school to accommodate the growing number of students in the English medium school. The location chosen for the Middle and Senior Division was located at Mota Mauva on Kalawad Road. In a few years the building was completed and the middle and senior division shifted to the new campus. By this time, the total strength of the school had gone up to 2000.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mathur kept on working as strongly as ever. She built the school brick by brick and we all are in awe of her for her amazing contribution in taking the school to such an envious level.

The alumni of the Sunshine School – the best ambassadors any institution can have, stand testimony to the tremendous effort put in by Mrs. Mathur and her team. Most of the Sunshinees are all well placed in their own domains.

In 2013, looking at the huge demand for a quality CBSE school, it was decided to start the CBSE affiliated school in the Mota Mauva Campus. The Sunshine International School marked an exciting new phase as the new school is now able to offer greater choices to future students.
