Santa Sophia Academy is currently accepting new students for the 2010-2011 school year for students entering Kindergarten through 7th Grades.  Incoming students are tested by appointment only.  Please call the school office for further information or to arrange for a tour of our school for you and your child(ren).  Give the gift that lasts a lifetime: Catholic education! Greatness is encouraged for every student, parent, and staff member!

 
Santa Sophia Academy is our parish Catholic elementary school (Kindergarten-Grade 8) located on the church property.

We believe that the parents are the primary educators of their children and together, in partnership, the school provides excellence in Catholic education, through a balanced curriculum designed to develop and enrich the spiritual, moral, academic, social, cultural and physical aspects of each child.

Education is a life-long process in which students grow in self-esteem, responsibility, respect, decision-making and active community involvement. Our primary commitment focuses on students and extends to families, the parish and civic community.

The Academy (K - 8) is an integral part of the parish and enjoys its part in this special community. Through participation in liturgies, as well as parish and community outreach, the school provides the students with strong community ties and responsibility to their parish and world.

For enrollment information, schedule of fees, campus tours and additional information, please call the school office at the number listed above or email.

Things our parents say...

For kids and parents, modern school life is hard enough.  So many distractions and so many "priorities" compete for class and social time without educating the students and the families.  A Catholic school can offer the type of quality education that can help focus the students and families while adding the centering power of God in morality, spirituality, and human dignity.  I am proud to be sending my children to Santa Sophia Academy, where I sincerely feel that this is being achieved. 
~ Greg G.
