One of the first of its kind in the U.S., St. Sophia's School serves the educational and spiritual needs of elementary grade children.  The school's goal has been to increase grades yearly from its initial start up of pre-school and kindergarten, so that many more will be given the opportunity to learn and be "Transfigured" within the context of an Orthodox environment. During the 2005-2006 academic year the school was blessed to add a fourth and fifth grade class.The faithful of our diocesan Christ the Saviour Cathedral have been actively involved the school since its inception.
