The Pensacola Private School of Liberal Arts (SoLA) is a
nonsectarian, college preparatory middle and high school. SoLA
offers a broad and engaging curriculum designed to provide a strong
foundation for academic excellence, develop the potential of
students, and cultivate independent thinkers, while encouraging
creativity, integrity and balance. Its purpose is exclusively for
students in grades 7th through 12th in the EscaRosa area.
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
SoLA acknowledges that every child possesses intrinsic worth
and dignity as a person. This existential fact demands a curriculum
broad enough to allow the student experiences, through education,
that behold a whole view of life and encourage in-depth factual
pursuits for developing lifelong learners. We believe that quality
education helps the student acquire the insights to know from
whence they come-and where they are going, thus inspiring young
individuals to think critically and perceive their role within the
ever-evolving human experience.
SoLA commits itself to carrying our founder`s educational
philosophy of "The student becomes the teacher." We believe that
his timeless mission encapsulates the core values we strive to
instill in today`s students: self-knowledge, respect, and
responsibility. With the development of these core values an
inner-directed student may emerge. For this to take place, the
student must possess an awareness of not only their learning style
but others as well, understand personal responsibilities, and have
a clear recognition of the consequences of one`s actions. We
believe this may be attained by building a strong foundation in the
Liberal Arts, and providing an education that is free from the
vortex of politics.
PURPOSE
Our purpose is to provide a secondary education aiding in the
student`s development of college preparatory skills by mastering
the following: problem-solving and critical thinking skills, the
technique of research & independent study, ability to listen &
speak well, and confidence in oral presentations.
