Inspired by our Catholic tradition Sophia College is a faith filled learning community that supports every student to be the very best they can be, while walking gently with creation through wisdom and love to make a better future. Sophia College’s community confirms the sacredness in each member by consistently teaching that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God and empowers our young people to develop the goodness in themselves and to share their God-given gifts, through living the gospel values.
