When we say that Sophia Academy’s science classes are lab-driven, we mean a number of things: we mean that we choose curriculum that prioritizes discovery and experimentation over reading textbooks and memorizing facts. We mean that our teachers seek constantly to engage students with real-world problems and projects. We mean that students are encouraged to build models in order to “see” how the world works. Whether learning biology or chemistry, Sophia students actively engage with the wonders of the created world.
