A proud parent of two graduates of this school. Sunrise School of Miami allows students to learn and play without the pressures of learning to a test. Excellent student-to-teacher ratios and the Waldorf-style of teaching allows the student to flourish by also using music and art and allowing the child to enjoy going to school.
My daughter is now in her second year at the Sunrise and awakes each and every morning happy to go to her school. Learning at Sunrise (and within a Waldorf curriculum) is not a two-dimensional exercise, but touches upon the spiritual and honors the child as a unique and loving soul. This may sound “New Age’ to some, but as an educator I am saddened and frustrated at the current state of education. Children are no longer given the freedom to learn through play, and their imagination and creativity are stifled through senseless testing and homework assignments, and mind numbing textbooks.
The absolute best school in South Florida! There is nothing like this place. I wish all parents in South Florida could visit Sunrise School of Miami at one of their many open houses. To see for themselves that there is a better education option out there that will enrich the child in mind, heart & soul instead of stripping it bare. This is a place where children get to be in a beautiful environment all day, eat healthy, move their bodies, be in nature and while in class learn at their own place all while having a loving teacher who truly cares for them. This is the next best thing to learning at home. I have a daughter enrolled now who loves her school and cannot wait for Mondays! I will also be sending my son there in 2 1/2 more years.

A VERY HAPPY MOM!
I just wish all kids could be as happy as my child; and all parents as happy as I am with their education!
and schools like Sunrise make every effort to instill the love of learning in every child.
I love our school!
Sunrise School of Miami is a community. We have made close friendships with the other parents in part because we all share the same ideas and concerns about education. We all want a safe and loving environment for our children. We also greatly value the spiritual, emotional, creative development of our children because these are essential building blocks of any learning, and of intellectual growth.
In as much as Sunrise School of Miami has been an enriching experience for my daughter, my wife and I have also benefited greatly from the school, its teachers, and parents. I have become increasingly interested in the teachings of Steiner as they relate to education, architecture, farming, philosophy, and spirituality. There is no Waldorf 'religion' though Steiner's profound thoughts may seem esoteric to some, especially those with a rigid mind.
Parents... do you just feel the whole public educational system is somehow wrong? Do you know it is destroying your childs happiness, self worth and self esteem? Does your child hate school? Please come and visit. You will be so happy you did. Your lives will be forever changed!!!!!!
I strongly encourage others to explore Waldorf and the Sunrise School of Miami. Learning should be a beautiful journey,
Sunrise School of Miami is also a very special place because of its teachers. These are individuals who are truly committed to their craft and go well beyond what is offered in many standard classrooms today. This is certainly not to say that one will not find committed teachers in other schools, but the educational system as it is today does not afford teachers to do their vocation. My daughter’s teachers connect with her in a very profound manner. They understand her.
This is simply the greatest educational system and greatest school I have known! It is a system that develops the whole child so children bloom into wonderful human beings. They become excited and passionate about learning and develop into happy, confident, intelligent, creative and well balanced human beings. This is almost like homeschooling, just better! I encourage all parents to come to an open house and see for yourself!
A Waldorf education is certainly not for everyone. But if you wish to offer your child something far greater than standardized testing and a standardized education, your options are somewhat limited. To be frank, I had only read about Rudolf Steiner in relation to his architecture when I was in graduate school. It wasn’t until the birth of my daughter that my wife began researching educational models and came across Waldorf because of Neal Donald Walsch’s reference to it in his book “Conversations with God.” We purchased books on Waldorf and the more we read the more we became convinced that this was the educational model that best suited what we valued most in our lives.
