PosED is not an additional subject at Sunmarke but it’s woven into the fabric of the international school’s culture and is reflected in all its activities and teaching mechanisms. Sunmarke’s teachers undergo an intense training programme before entering the classroom where they learn, live, teach and embed Positive Education.

Truly outstanding education is not just about academic and personal achievements but also about the development of character, values, and well-being. This is the essence of Positive Education (PosEd).

A scientifically-proven concept, PosEd is causing a paradigm shift in global education where parents, schools and governments realise the need to increase a child’s ‘wellbeing’ to raise his/her levels of ‘achievement’.

PosEd brings together the science of Positive Psychology combined with the best teaching practices to enable individuals, schools, and communities to flourish and be resilient, creative, successful and happy.
