"I strongly recommend Sunshine Academy because my son and my friends’ kids have great experience there. My son has been with Sunshine Academy Summer Camp and After-School Program for two years. The teachers are experts for teaching kids. My son’s reading and math are in the advance group at school. I know all the kids who study there excel in reading, math and spelling areas. I know some of Sunshine Academy kids’ writings have been published in the "Anthology of Short Stories by Young Americans." Their programs are excellent, and the teachers always provide us with very useful information for academic programs. After I send my son there I don’t need to worry about his studying. He has done well in various tests.

Sunshine Academy is an excellent place for improving their English, Math, and critical thinking skills."

"Lots of people know that Sunshine Academy is an excellent place for academic programs. Last year around this time, we still couldn't decide where to send my kid (at that time he was 6 year old at 1^st grade.) A friend of my wife suggested Sunshine and we thought it was a good idea. To be honest, we did not expect to send my kid there and he can pass GT later on. Both my wife and I did not care too much about GT at that time because we did not push my kid to learn anything at all. His 1^st grade teacher told me he was right in the middle of his class in academic before last summer. To go to Sunshine for us was that he would have a nice place to go for the whole summer and learn something there. We told Teacher Peng that we were here just to learn something and we did not want my kid to be stressful because GT was not the purpose we came here. My kid went there for his whole summer (10 weeks) and we are happy we made the right decision. He learned a lot there (not just for GT subjects).  When he went to the 2^nd grade, he was one of the best in his class. Also he had a very safe summer with the caring teachers. And finally he is accepted to GT this year. I keep talking to my wife that this is a miracle, because we really didn't pay too much academic attentions to my kid before we send him to Sunshine. This summer we will send him to Sunshine again for learning some more. So I tell a lot of friends, you don't need to push your kids badly just send them to Sunshine. If you have any questions about our experience you can contact me with the information below. I would like to share my experience with other parents."

"My kid went to Sunshine Academy last summer for three weeks. The teachers are very responsible and knowledgeable. The key and important thing for me is that Sunshine Academy provided a good environment for kids to know that if they worked hard they can get it. The work kids finished there is impossible to finish at home (at least for me. Maybe I am not good at to control my kids). They put a big effort to collect the good questions to help kids to improve their thinking skills. It is impressive to see the work kids had done there."

"I happen to know a couple of Sunshine Academy kids. They are all very happy kids and doing well at their age. As always, no day care or learning center is the same, no one can guarantee fun time for every single kid. Sunshine Academy makes its name by offering unique study plan. Parents looking for summer program should always talk to school teacher, get some reference phone numbers, talk to some other parents, then you can make best decision for your kids. "

"Does your child love math and reading/writing?  Is he or she looking for opportunities to be the top student in the school?  Come join this program to take advantage of the resources and experiences Sunshine Academy offers and to benefit your child academically for years.
My child joined this program about two years ago, and he went from not being able to read to start reading chapter books within 4 months. I like the intense of the curricula and the responsibility of the teacher.  My child actually skipped kindergarten after the program.  So I highly recommend you to try."

"My son went to the Summer Camp at Sunshine Academy. Their academic programs are incredible and their learning environment is great. It is very friendly and relaxed. My son really likes to go there, even though it is for studying. 
He was selected by the John Hopkins University young talent search program, scoring 96% in the SCAT math test, compared to 4th grade, when he was only in 2nd grade.

The Writing class also helps him a lot. He is currently participating in his school’s spelling bee.

My sons continue to attend Sunshine Academy for their weekend class. I cannot recommend a better program.
 
Sunshine focuses on every child’s strength and weaknesses, helping every child excel at whatever they do. To hear from me firsthand, please feel free to call me at the number below."

I highly recommend the Sunshine Academy School Summer Camp. My daughter attended their five-week summer camp last year. She enjoyed the camp and learned a lot.

During those fives weeks, every day the camp began with the vocabulary study, followed by the reading comprehension training, math practice, logic and analogy practices. It was a very well designed program. Teacher Peng is experienced, very nice and really cares about the students. My daughter really enjoyed their daily spelling tests. She also learned to effectively use her time at the camp so she could finish most of work at the camp. The kids had their lunches at the school cafeteria; they had daily recess at the school playground. They even had optional chess lessons 2-3 times a week.  My daughter enjoyed the chess lessons too. Overall it was a great experience for my daughter. 

I recommend Sunshine Academy summer camp programs without reservation.  I believe your child will benefit from their camp programs.

I strongly recommend Sunshine Academy that challenges children and prepares them to excel in academic achievement. My kids have benefitted from the program. They attended the Sunshine Academy Summer Camp last year and are currently enrolled in the after-school program. The instruction is exceptional. Besides math, they also offer writing (professional writing teacher from Fairfax County public schools) and drawing classes. Some of students' writings have been published in the "Anthology of Short Stories by Young Americans". Twenty-one Sunshine Academy students are on the National List of Math Kangaroo 2008 Winners! The National List is available at http://www.mathkangaroo.org/. I don't need to worry about my children's academic success any more because they attend Sunshine Academy. My 6-year old surprises me with his creative story and ideas to solve math problems. Sunshine Academy is an excellent place for improving children's English and Math, and for preparing them for the challenging academic programs.

If you have not decided on your child's summer plan and if you want your kids excel in school, I recommend Sunshine Academy.

Teacher Peng is very knowledgeable, responsible, patient and nice. She has rich experience in teaching kids. My kids went to Sunshine Academy for entire summer last year and then the after-school program. They have made great progress in both Language Arts and Math. Compared with other after-school/summer camp programs we tried before, such as Reston Day School and Chesterbrook Academy, my kids definitely learned more at Sunshine Academy, and achieved more than we expected (National Math Competitions and writing short stories). We are very happy with their achievements.
