LIFE MAP

What is Life Map?
Life Map is a comprehensive development tracking and guidance system for students aged 3–18 at Sunshine Village.
It's a tool that helps children understand themselves, parents understand their children, and the school provide proper guidance for each child's journey to adulthood in the spirit of "not imitating anyone – becoming oneself."
Life Map is not just an assessment, but a long-term journey based on psychology, international education, and a philosophy of holistic human development.
