Parent Testimonials:
“My son has had many struggles in school. Last school year was very hard on him and he gave up. Over the summer and after talking with many educators and teachers it looked like the best option for him would be something very individualized and catered to his needs.
Sophia Academy has worked with my son to meet his individual needs and give him an opportunity to learn in a different way than your average school. My son has become a different kid. He’s much happier and doesn’t want to give up."
- Jamie
“My son did not fit into a regular school system. Math, in particular, has always been very difficult for him. At Sophia Academy, his Math teacher is very intuitive and has been able to teach exactly the way my son learns. She has succeeded in giving him confidence and a grasp on concepts that have caused him to be successful.
He is now feeling so confident that he has decided to take on an honors math program. I am thrilled that every day my son goes to school, I know he is in a very safe, happy, loving, and Christ-centered environment. I recommend Sophia Academy wholeheartedly!”
