Sometimes the challenges are fun–as when Sophia students have to figure out how to get ten people walking 45 to 50 feet on a cable one foot above the ground with no way to hold on (yes, they did it!). Sometime the challenges are hard work–such as trying to figure out if they are looking at a compound, a homogenous mixture, or some other thing with a name they’ve learned for the first time one day before. In all the challenges, though, Sophia students are growing cognitively, emotionally, and even socially.
Social Emotional Learning is popular in 2023, and Sophia Academy joins many other schools around the country making sure that we include SEL training into our school day. We want our students to be comfortable in their own skin, confident in their abilities, and eager to take on new challenges.
