Hello to Sage Students, Teachers and Families! My name is Maisie Rathburn and I was blessed to be a student at Sage from 2nd – 5th grade. I am now 16 years old and a rising junior in Phladelphia. Sage teachers, love of Jesus and their way of teaching really helped me grow into the student I am today. When I left Sage, we moved to Idaho for my Dad’s job and although it was in a nice, Christian school – the teaching was very different and I missed Sage but I made friends and did well in my classes.

2 years later during COVD we moved to Phladelphia and I started 7th grade at a school for students with language based learning differences, AIM Academy. It was hard adjusting to online school (bc of COVID) and making friends but I persevered! I feel balanced and adjusted entering 11th grade and excited to begin the college process. My favorite part about school is being able to play sports…and learning, of course :-). I have been on the soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams since 7th grade. Our soccer team made school history this year by winning the PJAA Championship for the first time ever…and we only have about 40 students per grade. My lacrosse team also went to the championship this year, another school first ever! Last summer, I was a Counselor in Training at the AIM summer camp and this summer I am a Camp Counselor. I love the campers and hope to give back the same way that the Sage teachers gave to me when I was in elementary school. I have also been a member of National Charity League, Valley Forge and enjoy having leadership roles and volunteering with Special Olympics, local food shelters and environmental centers. This year I won the PVSA award for volunteering.

It was scary to turn the page into the next chapter of my life after Sage School. Now that I am in it, I am forever thankful that Sage gave me the tools to do great things in the future. Thank you to Sage for a great start and teaching me to never give up on anything…Sage provided me with a love of learning with a Christian foundation. I continue to be a fearless learner at AIM and thank God every day for placing me at Sage during the most important, developmental years of my childhood. Never stop learning and never give up!

A Sage education has truly been life changing for our family and Allie. Learning how to advocate for herself as we moved on from Sage and having the belief that she can do things has been everything. She truly does not see dyslexia as a deficiency but as a gift. She knows that she can solve problems in a unique and creative way that has served her well over the years. We are excited to see what the future holds as she is entering highschool next year and is thriving.

Lucy is attending Presbyterian College in South Carolina and enjoying playing soccer!

Rebecca is a sophomore at Hebron Christian Academy.   She is involved with student leadership, National Honors Society, and plays on the high school soccer team. Outside of school, she plays the guitar and spends time with her friends.

Riley has been doing great in school and thanks to Mrs. Whitengton’s encouragement in writing, Riley continues to write stories at home for fun. She’s been participating in golf, loves to draw, travel and recently started horseback riding lessons. Sage School was a huge blessing and we will forever be grateful for the 3 years we were there!

Hudson is doing quite well at Hebron! He is finishing up 10th grade and currently has a 3.4 GPA. He continues to say that his time at Sage was some of the best in his life. Our family is so very grateful for the influence of the teachers and staff at the Sage school on Hudson’s life and education. It was truly life-changing!

Ben is finishing his sophomore year at Fellowship Christian School. He is progressing from college prep courses to AP, Honors, and Dual Enrollment classes next year. Ben has completed two years of high school wrestling and is now on a wrestling club team that trains in the off-season. Most importantly, he has a wonderful group of friends that love and support each other. This fall we will start looking at colleges. Ben says that his years at Sage taught him not only how to learn beyond his Dyslexia, but how to be confident in learning.

“It’s hard to describe the feeling we got when we visited Sage. It was like we had found hope. Angela and all of the teachers were so loving and selfless. They truly were there to help my child, and all the kids at Sage. They made all the kids feel ‘normal’ and safe.

Sage taught her it was ok to fail, because through failure, we learn and grow. And there’s no shame in that. Because of all of the wonderful teachers at Sage, she is now a very confident girl who is not afraid to try new things.”

“Over the three years he was at Sage, Ryan learned the skills to succeed and gained confidence in himself. The teachers at Sage not only help academically but truly understand how a dyslexic child thinks and instill in them the truth, that they are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image’. I have watched Ryan grow more independent and confident. Thank you Sage for giving him the foundation he needed to succeed academically and spiritually. Sage is truly a blessing!”

“Reece went from daily tears coming home from her previous school, to starting Sage immediately loving school. It was an overnight transformation in her spirit. She did really well at Sage and in 2 years she decided it was time to go back to traditional school. She rolled perfectly back into a traditional model and excelled. She has maintained honor roll since graduating from Sage without additional tutoring or special treatment from the school.”

“Sage School provided me with a safe place to learn, around kids who were struggling just like me and I was taught by teachers who understand my unique way of learning. I went from dreading school to dreaming about what I could become and found success for the first time.”

“Isabella had all A’s first semester, including English and French! We are so grateful for the one-on-one attention Isabella received at Sage. She was able to master OG skills so quickly because of the daily lessons. She also learned how to really read a novel instead of being intimidated and is now an avid reader for fun!”
