Santa Sophia Academy is a Catholic school community. We adhere to and uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church. A Catholic school works hard to create a sense of community around a shared vision of life with God. A private school like ours is entitled to consider the best interests of the school community as a whole in its enrollment decisions. Our Academy is not required to accept every student or family. Our Academy has wide discretion to decline enrollment applications based on a variety of factors. Among those factors, the school’s right to proclaim the Gospel without compromise, and without fear of offending students or their families, is a fundamental right.
​
Recognizing the responsibility of parents/guardians as the primary educators of their children and acknowledging the importance of handing on the values of our Catholic faith by word and example, we the undersigned agree:

• To maintain a Catholic Christian atmosphere in our home by means of regular prayer and regular Sunday worship;
• To support, cooperate and engage actively and positively with Santa Sophia Academy in maintaining a Catholic school community which teaches and re-enforces Catholic values and habits;
• To uphold the fundamental principles of Catholic doctrine (e.g. the Trinity, salvation through Christ, the seven Sacraments, and the Biblical presentation of human nature);
• To support and communicate positively with the administration, teachers, and staff as partners in the education of our children.
• To meet all SSA Family Commitments of volunteer hours & Fundraisers-Opportunity Drawing.
• To comply with the rules, policies and regulations of the Diocese of San Diego/Office for Schools, Santa Sophia Academy, and as presented in the SSA Parent-Student Handbook.
