Why Sora Schools

Hear from a few Sora students about what makes Sora special. Sora is a live, virtual project-based high school designed to accelerate students towards their wildest dreams.

Welcome to Sora

Here, we do school… differently. Why? Because it’s the 21st century! And today’s students need a modern version of high school built around them, and things they care about.

Meet Christopher Wilson, Head of Schools

Sora Schools is a virtual, project-based, fully accredited high school designed to accelerate students towards their wildest dreams: whether that’s college, starting a new business, jumping straight into their career, or anything in between.

HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES LIBRARY

One way high school students can earn credit independently is through the activities library, an incredible catalog of asynchronous projects, experiments, books, interesting articles, and videos curated by an award-winning faculty member at Columbia University, an ivy-league institution.

This library ensures every student can learn and progress through our academics as quickly as they’d like, completing relevant and challenging projects like the Chemistry of Ice Cream and writing thoughtful analyses of questions like “Where do values come from?”. The Activities Library also provides a wonderful opportunity to overwrite poor scores from previous learning experiences. At Sora, no grades are final until graduation, so, students always have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning another way, like through activities.

CAPSTONE GRADUATION PROJECT

The capstone project is a multifaceted reflective project and is a mandatory graduation requirement for all fourth-year high school students attending Sora Schools. High school students in their fourth-year curate a digital portfolio that showcases their specific career/related work, as well as their overall Sora experience, contributions, and achievements.

The digital portfolio might include a personalized career plan, project-based learning samples, achievements and honors, awards, and evidence of participation in activities such as internships, community service projects, or school clubs. The capstone project culminates with a presentation during the Capstone Symposium.

SOCIAL EXPERIENCE

Sora high school students are immersed in social activities – from “House” leadership to student clubs and even our champion e‑sports team.

I think we should pay attention to the things that we want to learn that we’re going to use in the future. And the fact that you can connect with students with similar interests has been really helpful.

William, Captain of Sora's
e-sports team

I want to focus on ocean conservation and shark protection, and all of that started from going to one Expedition at Sora.

Cymri, Sora grad

When I started, it felt like I had been there forever, everyone is so supportive. The debate club is my favorite club.

Colton, Sora student

With my house, we actually got close enough where we exchanged numbers. And we have this group chat where we talk outside of school and plan to meet up.

“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!“
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
