Sora is a live, virtual project-based high school designed to accelerate students towards their wildest dreams.
Our non-traditional curriculum is designed around your student's interest and learning style. We give students at Sora real agency and responsibility in their learning, which means they're much more engaged than in traditional programs. Students truly have a say in their education in terms of what they study, how they learn a subject, and in what format they can demonstrate their knowledge. We help students explore their interests and, once they've narrowed in on a field, help students accelerate towards their learning goals.
Our educational philosophy on project-based learning and real-world application allows students to do more hands-on work and build a strong portfolio of experience for future job and college applications. We connect students to experienced industry mentors for them to learn from. For college-bound students, we prepare students for college applications and help them explore their next step after graduation. Ultimately, our mission is to prepare students for their future careers, not just how be a good test-taker.
