Sunrise Beach School is part of a vibrant community in Olympia, Washington. Not only is the Western Washington area one of the IT, art, intellectual and athletic capitals of the world, we are also located in the Capitol City of Washington State. For over 34 years, we have embedded ourselves in the rich community and historical relevance of our area, and taken advantage of all the partnerships and community resources that are part of greater Thurston County surrounding regions.
