Sunny Hill School is a non-profit, private education institution operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Mission of Sarawak in Kuching, Sarawak that offers three levels of academic programmes. Sunny Hill Nursery and Kindergarten provide conducive facilities to introduce and prepare children for formal schooling.

Co-curricular and extracurricular activities

Sunny Hill Nursery uses the Permata Curriculum while Sunny Hill Kindergarten follows the National Preschool Curriculum. Sunny Hill Primary School offers KBSR classes from Year 1 to Year 6 while Sunny Hill Secondary School offers KBSM classes from Form 1 to Form 5. Special emphasis is given to English proficiency at all academic levels.

These extra-curricular activities provide the opportunity for students to develop good personality traits and social skills. They are organised according to the club’s objectives.

Enrichment Programmes

The school incorporates Cambridge English Modules and Examinations into the existing curriculum. Students are allotted six periods to study and read the Cambridge Young Learners’ English (YLE) which comprises 3 Levels—STARTERS, MOVERS, & FLYERS, hence providing a consistent measure on how well students are doing in the skill of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Lessons are designed to make learning fun and children are encouraged to work towards certificates that record their progress. This sets international standards in our primary school English for teachers as well as students.

To develop the strength of technical English Concepts and Terms, Science and Mathematics are also taught in English medium which may not be available in the national type schools. This will provide a head start in preparing students to study science courses like medicine, information technology, engineering, etc. which is imparted in English medium at the tertiary / university level.

The School Yearbook

The school's yearly official publication is Sunny Memoirs.

Alumni

The Sunny Hill School Ex-Student Association was established by the class of 1969.[1]
