About Sunmarke School
Sunmarke School, rated ‘Very Good’ with outstanding features by the KHDA 2019-20, is a leader in Positive Education (PosEd) – the science that combines Positive Psychology with best teaching practices.
From Nursery to Year 13, our PosEd ethos drives a student to learn more effectively, and be more resilient, creative, productive, successful and healthy.
It's not an additional subject at Sunmarke but our very culture. At our British and IB Curriculum school, the shaping of character is at the heart of what we offer.
