Santa Sophia Academy is our parish Catholic elementary school located right here on the church property.
We believe that the parents are the primary educators of their children and together, in partnership, the school can provide excellence in Catholic education, through a balanced curriculum designed to develop and enrich the spiritual, moral, academic, social, cultural and physical aspects of each child.
We believe education is a life-long process in which students grow in self-esteem, responsibility, respect, decision-making and active community involvement.
Our primary commitment focuses on students and extends to families, the parish and civic community.
The Academy is an integral part of the parish and enjoys its part in this special community.
Through participation in liturgies, Fall Festival, parish and community outreach, the school provides the students with strong community ties and responsibility to their parish and world.
