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.
