MISSION STATEMENT

We, the staff of St. Sofia Byzantine Catholic School celebrate spiritual and diversity through achieving, believing and community living in an inclusive Byzantine Catholic faith environment. Our mission is to nurture each child's Eastern Byzantine Catholic faith and traditions, while developing the attitudes, skills, knowledge and desire for life-long learning. In doing so, we will be building a school community which enriches future growth through caring, sharing and preparing.

CATHOLIC FOCUS

St. Sofia is a regional Elementary Catholic School whose students are all of the Eastern Byzantine Rite Catholic Faith. The School follows the Julian calendar and as such, celebrates Christmas on January 7th and Good Friday & Easter pending on the placement in the Julian calendar year. St. Sofia was established to support Eastern Byzantine Rite Catholic parents in their responsibility for the spiritual, religious, moral, academic and physical needs of their children in accordance with the teachings of the Church. The school community at St. Sofia is committed to the search for excellence, the uniqueness of the individual and education of the whole person. St. Sofia fosters a community environment that stresses tolerance and acceptance of others, commitment to our Byzantine Rite Catholic faith and high academic standards. We provide a safe and comfortable learning environment where models of Gospel values and Byzantine Rite Catholic doctrines, teachings and beliefs are an integral part of the daily life of our school. The school motto “Caring, Sharing and Preparing” reflects the holistic philosophy where religion, culture and daily life are intertwined.
