Welcome to the Learn with Sophia blog! We're excited to share this space with you as we build something meaningful for homeschool families.

What This Blog Is About

This blog serves as our window into the development of Learn with Sophia—a homeschool companion that combines classical educational philosophy with thoughtful AI enhancement. Here, you'll find:

  • Design decisions - Why we made certain choices in building the platform
  • Our story - Personal reflections on homeschooling and why we're building Sophia for our own children
  • Platform updates - New features, improvements, and what's coming next
  • Student insights - As we grow, we'll share data on how students are progressing

Our Philosophy

We believe in an education rooted in three timeless pillars:

  1. Knowledge (Truth) - Memorization, reading, and foundational facts
  2. Understanding (Goodness) - Reflection, moral reasoning, and character development
  3. Application (Beauty) - Creative expression, hands-on projects, and wonder

Unlike Common Core-based programs, Sophia draws from proven classical curricula like The Good and the Beautiful and Tuttle Twins, ensuring your child receives an education grounded in timeless values.

AI as Enhancement, Not Replacement

Technology should serve learning, not replace it. Sophia uses AI to:

  • Adapt to each child's unique pace and learning style
  • Provide gentle, encouraging feedback
  • Generate personalized practice while maintaining classical methods
  • Free parents to focus on connection and guidance

The warmth of family-centered education remains at the heart of everything we build.

What's Next

In upcoming posts, we'll dive deep into:

  • How we're implementing traditional math instruction with AI support
  • The reading comprehension model we've developed
  • Why we chose certain design patterns for the parent dashboard
  • Our approach to civics education inspired by Tuttle Twins

We're building in public, learning as we go, and excited to have you along for the journey.
