ICHS and Sophia Academy are now offering both breakfast and lunch courtesy of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Because of our school location, great food is provided free of charge for all students. Love hoagies? Pick one up on Thursday! How about Tuna Salad sandwich and an apple? No problem.
Why is our breakfast and lunch program so important? Studies show that student brains are sluggish and unable to process new material well unless students have sufficient calories. Every student that skips breakfast is hurting his chances of learning during the day. With fruit and a bagel in the morning, however, that whole slope-intercept formula will make more sense.
We are pleased to announce the opening of the William Gildart School of the Arts in September 2017. Led by Mr. Joshua Stippich, the Gildart School of Arts provides the opportunity for self-expression while teaching problem-solving along with creative thinking. Our goal is to bridge the gap between academic classes and real life. All students will take Basic Drawing and Music. They will also be able to choose between classes as varied as video production, drama, and digital art.
Whether walking a labyrinth as medieval monks or digging up an ancient culture as archeologists, the students at Sophia Academy show their mastery of the past by stepping into the past.
