School Notes
Multi-Sensory and Multi-Modal - Awakening Genius
Sophia Academy began as a pilot program at International
Christian High School 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.
Sophia Academy became an independent school by January 2019 and
has since graduated three classes. Our graduates have been accepted
to local colleges and trade schools, the military, and into local
careers.

blocks, and overlays, students are able to improve reading and math
skills by multiple grade levels.
