4-Day School Week

St. Sophia can never replace the love and guidance of the family. Our philosophy is to keep small, orderly classrooms where work is done swiftly and diligently, so that no time is wasted. This allows students to complete course work in less time than other school settings. The additional time is gifted back to the family and to the child. Our younger grades complete all of their course work in 4 days while our older students should anticipate some studying and reading on Fridays. St. Sophia students and families enjoy more weekends away, more time for extracurricular activities, and more time at home.

Classical

A classical education gives our students a foundation for understanding the philosophical and historical context of their Christian cultural heritage. Our history and civilization cannot be divorced from the history of the Christian Church which has influenced human understanding from the time of Jesus Christ to the modern era.

Christian

Teachers at St. Sophia are on a mission to assist families in their goal to grow children into adults that reflect the light of the love of Christ into the darkness they will encounter, to teach them to dwell on what is true, virtuous and beautiful and to live for the Glory of God and the benefit of others.

Traditional

In traditional classrooms, students are gently led by an experienced, loving teacher into greater and deeper knowledge. In upper grades, students engage in passionate discussion and debate with their peers guided by a master teacher. Teachers not only instruct students but guide them in learning to live their Christian faith by example.

We spend our days dwelling on what is true, virtuous, and beautiful.
