Until 1994 the school provided education through Grade 5, but Sunbeams is now running IAL (International Advanced Level) exams as well. The school's mascot is the Rising Sun with seven beams.
Sunbeams school has two campuses, one is located in the residential area of Dhanmondi and conducts classes from Playgroup to Class 4. The other campus is located in Uttara and has classes from Playgroup to Class 12.
