About us:

Mission Statement:

 

Sophia James Education exists to promote the love of learning through a healthy lifestyle that loves to learn and travel.

“For literacy and culture brings the world a little bit closer, therefore live well, learn lots and travel the world.”

Vision:

Sophia James Education believes in empowering parents, educators, community members with resources and articles that will enrich lives by bringing people closer through literacy and culture. We believe that we should Live Well, Learn Lots, and Travel the World. We are rooted in knowledge helping you achieve more in life. 

Who We Are:

Many years ago (around 1928), back in Brazil, our grandfather Pedro Goncalves Chaves learned to read and write because he wanted to read a book that had a black cover. A book that changed his life in many different ways. Our grandfather learned to read and write to read the “Bible”.

The Bible says in Proverbs 9:9-11 “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;

   teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

   and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For through wisdom your days will be many,

   and years will be added to your life.”

 

Our grandfather learned that in life he needed to open himself to learn. He loved literacy. He even opened a school in his farm to ensure that children were being educated even those who lived far away from town.

He planted the love of learning in all his 20 children and that love of learning poured into his grandchildren.

 

Our grandfather lived to be 81 years old. He left behind a legacy, and in us he left the hope of knowing that “we can accomplish anything in life if we are willing to learn”.

Our dad always said to us “if you have to choose between money and knowledge, always choose knowledge; for what you know no one can ever take it away from you”.

 

Sophia James Education was created to share the love of learning. The writing on this blog was born as a creative outlet amidst the hardship of life.

 

We believe that learning is everywhere. We believe that in order to learn we just need to be willing to learn.

We believe that in order to learn we need a healthy lifestyle. Yes, we believe in eating healthy, going on daily walks, exercise (in moderation), drinking water. We believe that through small changes we can achieve great results.

We believe that traveling is essential for a healthy life. I am not talking about big trips if we can’t afford. I am talking about taking advantage of the history hidden in every town. We believe that discovering somewhere new is part of the adventure.

We are on a quest for knowledge.

Allow us to inspire you and to empower you with knowledge for we know “Together we achieve more”.

Life has made possible for us to travel the world but even before we went anywhere outside of home our travel adventures came from pages in a book.

One such famous adventure through the pages of a book was:  “There are said to be at least ninety- nine hundred large windmills in Holland, with sails ranging from eighty to one hundred and twenty feet long. They are employed in sawing timber, beating hemp, grinding, and many other kinds of work; but their principal use is for pumping water from the lowlands into the canals, and for guarding against the inland freshets that so often deluge the country.” (The Silver Skates, p.12)

 

This book took me (Raquel) through the streets of Holland and on the first opportunity to travel I went there and saw the windmills with my own eyes, yet I had already been there through my imagination.
Books, through the ability to read and to write, allow us to travel the world without ever leaving home, bringing the world to us, connecting people who otherwise would never be connected.
“Literacy and culture bring the world a little bit closer” this connection allows us, humans, to connect with each other, to respect one another, to love one another. At Sophia James Education we believe in empowering parents, educators, community members with resources/ articles that will enrich lives by bringing people closer through literacy and culture. We believe in the power of education.

As Nelson Mandela stated: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” We are professionals who are passionate about the learning process. We know that Education has the power to make our world a better place one lesson at a time.

 

Who We Serve:

We write to parents, educators, community members who believe that education is the key to success and who knows education is an ongoing process that can’t be accomplished alone.

My readers hold a diverse perspective in education as some have chosen public education, others private education, and some homeschool. They do hold one thing in common though, they all believe in the power of education.  My readers are active members of society who are helping shape new citizens.

My readers know that formal education alone is not enough, therefore they provide enrichment activities that promote academics and culture at home in addition to formal academic education.

At Sophia James Education we promote academics, we promote best practices, we promote books, we promote educational toys, we promote traveling, we promote a lifestyle that enriches children to be world citizens that appreciate academics and culture; Citizens that embraces learning as a long-term lifestyle and cultural experiences as the key to a better world.
