Multi-Sensory and Multi-Modal - Awakening Genius

Sophia Academy began in the fall of 2016, serving 9th and 10th grade students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other language-based learning differences.
It quickly became evident that oursmall classes, multi-sensory curricula, evidence-based instruction, and integration with the visual and performing artsprovided an effective education for students who often fall through the educational cracks, and for all students who seek a non-traditional education.
As we grew in numbers, we also added to our program such helps as occupational therapy, SMARTS executive function curricula, on-site services of a counselor and school psychologist, and dual enrollment with Esperanza College.
Our graduates have been accepted to local colleges and trade schools, the military, and into local careers.
We are now partnering with The Jacob's Ladder Group to offer the Ingterpersonal Whole Brain Model of Care which will transform how we serve our students
We are adding grades K-8 to our school program

Learning at Sophia Academy is active:

A completely individualized intervention curriculum developed through proprietary technology with the results of a student's qEEG will bring measurable progress as we rewire the brain
Through theuse of manipulativessuch as tiles, blocks, and overlays, students are able to improve reading and math skills by multiple grade levels.
Discovery, experimentation, and creativityare emphasized.
Students practiceexecutive function skillsthrough alphabetic, oral, visual, and kinesthetic modes.
Our curriculum meets allstate standardswhile providing real and obvious success to students who may have struggled through many years of school.
Small class sizesensure appropriate intervention and attention for each student.
Music, art, and instruction in artisancrafts enable students toaccess both sides of their brainand operate in areas of strength each week.
