Director's Message & Profile
The Sunbeam Schools since the last 5 decades and more have made a pioneering contribution to furthering knowledge and understanding, as well as helping thousands of students achieve their true potential. While the schools have in many respects changed greatly from the one that started at Ravindrapuri all those years ago, our fundamental purpose remains the same - to benefit society through the advancement of knowledge. In that sense, this campaign is about much more than just being mere schools. We have already made an impressive journey, and while there remains much more to do, I am confident that with the support of our entire community of staff, students, alumni and friends worldwide, we will see Sunbeam become an even stronger institution in the years to come.
It has been my pure pleasure and privilege to be able to guide the development of Sunbeam to the amazing schools we have today. We have well and truly fulfilled our founding vision of creating prototype schools that will transform education. Founded on principles and values that are universal to all the great faiths, Sunbeam Schools are committed to supporting parents to raise the next generation of leaders. One of our core values at Sunbeam is that students come first. The accent is very firmly on ensuring their achievement and progression.
“Whatever we have achieved may immense and encouraging,
Whatever we plan to attain will be stunning and outstanding.”
