Interpersonal Whole Brain Model of Care Transforms Student Education

Sophia Academy is excited to announce a bold new transformation: we are now a K-12 school awakening the genius of urban children with learning and neurobiological challenges through the Jacob's Ladder Group's IWBMC program. Combined with our decade of experience in multi-sensory, hands-on, Christ-centered education, we continue to emphasize play, creativity, divergent thinking, and love. Our newest parents are already ecstatic about the change they see in their children. Said one: "My son can't stop talking about school."

What is IWBMC™?

The Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care® (IWBMC™), is a comprehensive, science-informed framework that integrates cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological support. Developed over years by The Jacob's Ladder Group, the IWBMC™ is an integrated model provides a shared framework and common language that helps teachers, related service providers, and families work together more effectively.
  • Teachers and staff gain a clear, practical lens to understand the “why” behind student struggles in regulation, attention, or learning.
  • The model provides specific, actionable strategies that can be implemented immediately in classrooms and small-group settings.
  • The IWBMC™ strengthens collaboration and ensures consistent support strategies across settings.

To teach our students well--and to successfully meet their very disparate needs, we must raise significant funds this year and in the next three years.

We are asking you today to prayerfully consider becoming a sustaining donor to enable Sophia to meet the needs of many urban families. We would like 100 people to commit to donate $100 each month for the next two years as well as many others to give periodic gifts. This small commitment will reap tremendous rewards in the lives of struggling students and their families.

If you prefer to give a yearly larger gift, we humbly ask for

  • Appreciated assets (Thrivent 800-847-4836)
  • Contributions from your RMD or IRA for a tax free donation
  • Significant seed money. Talk to us about naming rights to one of our programs.

THANK YOU!!
