Experience
Our curriculum was developed in the early 1990s and launched for use in Classical Latin Schools®, of which St. Sophia is one, in 1998. Classical Latin Schools® undergo continuous process improvement providing an excellent education.
Traditional School Days
School days are spent on campus with a teacher trained in classical education, both locally and at national teacher trainings. All of our faculty have either a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Our week runs Monday-Thursday in Norman, OK, Students and teachers pray together, learn together, and develop lasting friendships. Our curriculum is comprehensive, thorough, rigorous and classical. Classrooms are quiet, orderly, and disciplined with incremental, age-appropriate, and skill developing work.
Spiritual Formation
St. Sophia is a small private school with a close community. In partnership with parents, and guided by the Gospel, we seek to educate students to the highest standards of the classical tradition, so that they may grow in knowledge, wisdom, and the love of our Lord, and more ably use their gifts in the service of others, for the glory of Christ and his Church.
Classical
A classical education gives our students a foundation for understanding the philosophical and historical context of their Christian cultural heritage. Classical education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue through meditation on the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. This is accomplished in two ways: first, through training in the liberal arts; and secondly, through a familiarity with the great books and the great thinkers of the past.
Christian
Teachers at St. Sophia are on a mission to assist families in their goal to grow children into adults that reflect the light of the love of Christ into the darkness they will encounter, to teach them to dwell on what is true, virtuous and beautiful and to live for the Glory of God and the benefit of others.
Traditional
In traditional classrooms, students are gently led by an experienced, loving teacher into greater and deeper knowledge. In upper grades, students engage in passionate discussion and debate with their peers guided by a master teacher. Teachers not only instruct students but guide them in learning to live their Christian faith by example.
