Sophia Academy welcomed new students and new teachers to a new school year. All students and faculty were welcomed by newly re-waxed floors, new walls, new classes, new routines, and new equipment. We are looking forward to two new microscopes purchased with our Act 195/90 funds, new field trips, and new books.
New this year: all Sophia teachers were trained in the Trauma Informed Classroom as well as an 8-hour Brain coaching course by NeuroLogic (Lakeside Learning). We come into this year understanding the brain better. We have more tools to help our students move into their optimal learning state.
Also new this year: every Sophia student read Treasure Island and is now enjoying two weeks of pirate lore and exploration.
