Principal's Message

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." – Aristotle

At Sophia Opportunity School, we believe true education begins with compassion. While academic knowledge builds minds, empathy, understanding, and love shape souls. Every child who walks through our doors brings a unique light—and it is our privilege and calling to help that light shine brighter.

Here, education is a journey of discovery. It is not limited to books and grades but rooted in the growth of confidence, independence, and inner strength. We see every student not through the lens of their challenges but through the lens of their potential.

Our Heritage of Compassion Since 1972

Since our founding in 1972, the school has been lovingly run by the Sisters of Notre Dame, whose legacy of faith and service continues to inspire our path. Their vision has shaped a haven where children with special needs are cherished, supported, and empowered every single day.

Sophia Opportunity School is not just a school—it is a family. A place where each small step is celebrated as a giant leap, and every child is encouraged to grow at their own pace, with patience, guidance, and trust. Our dedicated team of educators, therapists, and caregivers work in harmony, walking beside each student as they navigate their unique learning journey.

Embracing Inclusion as Our Way of Life

Inclusion at Sophia Opportunity School is more than a practice; it is the heartbeat of our school culture. We believe in nurturing each student's abilities while honouring their individuality. We strive to create an environment where all children feel seen, heard, and respected—where they are not just accepted but deeply valued.

As part of the larger Sophia High School family, we take pride in upholding a shared commitment to excellence, compassion, and community. Together, we work toward a future where every child, regardless of their needs, has equal access to opportunities, joy, and growth.

With Gratitude for Our Community

Our work is only possible because of the unwavering support of our staff, parents, and well-wishers. Your belief in our mission fuels our purpose and strengthens our commitment. Together, we are building a more inclusive world—one where every child can dream freely and soar fearlessly.

As we embark on another academic year, we carry with us hearts full of hope, gratitude, and determination. The road ahead may have its challenges, but with unity, resilience, and love as our guides, we know we can achieve great things.

Let us always hold close the inspiring words of Ryunosuke Satoro: "Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."

With warm regards,
Sr. Mary Madhuja
Principal
Sophia Opportunity School
