LEADING WITH SUPPORT & ENTHUSIASM

Our diverse family of faculty come from a variety of backgrounds and love to meaningfully engage with our middle school and high school students.
They’ve had hands-on experience in their teaching areas, unique sets of skills, and come from all walks of life.

My favorite thing about Sora students is that they’re not only intellectually curious, they’re also intellectually generous. I’m constantly inspired by how willing they are to share project ideas, creations, and feedback with the community in order to build and iterate on a collective learning space.

I love working with Sora students because they’re so thoughtful and are always thinking outside the box! We get to be so creative and learn about all kinds of exciting topics together.

Sora is different from any other online school because we offer so many opportunities for socialization! With clubs, pop-up events, and house activities, our students have so many opportunities to connect with their peers and form lasting friendships.

Sora is different from any other school because the focus isn’t on test scores. It’s about making good students into great adults. Here, each student has a unique experience because they are able to have more preference on how they want to learn and what they would like to learn about.

I love working with Sora students because the creative care and innovation that I see them display each day gives me hope for a better future. They consistently manage to make me laugh and bring me so much joy. I could never imagine not loving this job!

ONLY THE BEST

We accept less than 1 percent of applications for faculty
roles—that’s more competitive than any Ivy League.

When we hire faculty, we hire the best of the best. All of our faculty are enthusiastic about education, their work, and their intellectual community.

WE PRACTICE WHAT WE
TEACH

Sora is a middle school and high school that encourages continuing education and project-based learning.

We offer a learning development stipend each year for
faculty to use on things that excite them, from college
courses to workshops to books and beyond.

HEAR FROM SORA FACULTY

our learners and doers

Meet Michael, Humanities Learning Expert
“Critical thinking is huge. The ability to process information, respond to that information by formulating their own opinion that’s grounded in credible sources and reason and thoughtfulness–those are the big soft skills that I hope that they can take. I also hope that my students gain an appreciation for what humanity has done, what we’re capable of doing, and a general love for history and people as well.”

Meet Carolyn, STEM Learning Expert
“I love to see those aha moments with students. They may not know what they want to do, but we’re working through something, they’re starting to understand it. They say “I’m starting to get this, I really love doing this. It’s something I could see myself doing. And I tell them, that’s wonderful! Let’s dive deeper into that, let’s see how we can focus that and figure out something you’re really interested in and see how this can help you be a lifelong learner.” Sora is a live, virtual project-based high school designed to accelerate students towards their wildest dreams.

Meet Katie, Director of Community
We believe school is about community, which is why we continue to provide new and innovative ways for students to connect. From pilot in-person learning hubs to our brand-new learning adventures program, we aim to ensure middle school and high school students are connecting and collaborating.
