SOPHIA creates a vibrant learning community that empowers students to learn in their own way, helps teachers to innovate, and provides an opportunity to achieve an affordable college degree. We are surrounding the traditional classroom with a worldwide classroom that connects people who want to learn with people willing to teach.
