How We Grow

THRIVEBeyond Academics

Introduction

At Sunbeam, education is more than academics—it is about discovering passions, honing skills, and building character. Thrive represents our parallel curriculum, offering a rich blend of sports, arts, clubs, leadership platforms, and experiential learning opportunities.

Students participate in focused activities, co-curricular events, evening sports, debates, theatre, Model United Nations (MUNs), creative writing, music, skill camps, and community projects. These experiences allow them to explore interests, uncover hidden talents, and build resilience.
