School Notes

  • The St. Sophia School is Charlotte's first Orthodox elementary school, providing a unique blend of Traditional, Classical, and Montessori styles of education. The mission of The St. Sophia School is to educate the whole child - academically, culturally, and spiritually - in a warm, structured, community-based environment. The St. Sophia School's graduates are thoughtful, well-rounded, capable students who value religious and cultural heritage and give back to their communities. While our values and curriculum focus on Orthodox faith and Greek traditions, we believe that non-Greek students can benefit greatly and succeed in our educational setting. Love of learning We are curious about life, the world, other people, and how things work. We see ourselves as lifelong learners. Integrated learning We look for connections across subjects to develop intellectual flexibility and a grasp of how things fit together. Faith We follow Greek Orthodox practices and teachings as a time-tested path towards abundant life, which has been passed down faithfully over thousands of years. Cultural Heritage We value cultural traditions and have a responsibility to pass them down to future generations to maintain a connection to those who came before us. Hospitality We follow the tradition of extending a warm and generous welcome to all, looking for ways we can meaningfully connect with each other. Community We are responsible not only for our own lives and actions, but also for using our skills and accomplishments to strengthen our community. Respectful Dialogue We treat others with dignity and respect, especially when we disagree about something. We can discuss and even disagree on many topics while maintaining an undercurrent of love and understanding.
