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 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.
