School Life

Learning at Santa Sophia is aimed at educating the whole child and helping students attain true wisdom, from Preschool to Year 12.


Based on leading educational research and the best of today’s technologies, we will prepare students for the workplace of the future by teaching them how to think critically and creatively, how to communicate effectively and how to work collaboratively.
