Sonrise Christian Academy was awarded the Exemplary School Program Award for 2008-09 from ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) for being an innovative educational program in the category of spiritual enrichment. More than 140 individual programs were submitted for the committee to consider. Many excellent submissions were received, indicative of the the outstanding work being done in member schools of ACSI. 
 
A description of the project was included in the November 2008 edition of Christian School Education magazine.  The school received the award for the grade 3, 4 and 5 class service project entitled "Shop for the Bank." For this project the students raise money during the year which they then use to purchase groceries which are donated to a local ministry. This project enables students to develop skills in counting and budgeting money, making healthy food choices, and most importantly the opportunity to give back to the community.
