Sophia Academy began in the fall of 2016, serving 9th and 10th grade students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other language-based learning differences.
It quickly became evident that oursmall classes, multi-sensory curricula, evidence-based instruction, and integration with the visual and performing artsprovided an effective education for students who often fall through the educational cracks, and for all students who seek a non-traditional education.
As we grew in numbers, we also added to our program such helps as occupational therapy, SMARTS executive function curricula, on-site services of a counselor and school psychologist, and dual enrollment with Esperanza College.
Our graduates have been accepted to local colleges and trade schools, the military, and into local careers.
We are now partnering with The Jacob's Ladder Group to offer the Ingterpersonal Whole Brain Model of Care which will transform how we serve our students
We are adding grades K-8 to our school program
