Whitestone Academy
Sonrise Christian School provides a context for Biblical transformation of young men and women lovingly created and called of God for the purpose of equipping them with a Christian world view both academically and spiritually as they pursue God's plan for their lives.
The Sonrise Christian School board of directors, administration, faculty, and staff are mindful of God's will that children are to be taught the content and practical applications of God's Word in every aspect of learning and in every activity of life.
We firmly believe that a Christian school is essential to the successful completion of these child-training responsibilities.
Our Mission is to assist parents in developing their children to be strong in mind, spirit, and body while equipping them to become servant leaders, using Christ as their example through teaching the principles of God's Holy Word, the Bible.

This is the best private school in Lakeland! It is now known as Whitestone Academy in Lakeland. Still a private christian school with affordable tuition! The school has many sports and activities for kids of all ages. The staff are vey caring and the staff is super nice and Christian!! The kids here are not snobby and stuck up like at some other private schools in Lakeland. The kids are nice and are truly christian. They have mediatory Bible classes and amazing academics I started going here my freshmen year and have enjoyed every part of it. I will be a junior at whitestone Academy!! I plan to graduate from this school and all of the core classes you have to take will set you on the track for college!!! Family atmosphere,great school lunches, affordable, athletics , academics fine arts, are top of the line!!!! Our Fine Arts department has dance, choir which has made it to disney's candlelight processional this past year and were the only private school in polk county to make it!!! We also have drama in the fine arts department and put on big productions every year. Most people have probably never heard of this school but people need to know how great it is!!!!!!!!
