Mission, Vision, Values

As a British Schools Overseas (BSO) accredited school, Sunmarke School is committed to upholding the values and standards of a world-class British education. This includes a strong focus on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our students, as well as the promotion of respect, tolerance, and responsibility.

Together, these shared values shape our school community into one that is inclusive, aspirational, and globally minded.
