St Sophia Foundation is the culmination of 5 years of intellectual thought and prayer. It is the sum of the energies of over 20 people with a dream to bring Orthodox Christian higher education to America. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting the dream of priests, educators, business and professional people, parents, and students who, believing that there is a crisis in American education, seek to create a learning environment that is both moral and religious, an atmosphere that is safe, parent-friendly and promotes good citizenship. The Foundation believes there is no contradiction between good faith and sound learning.
