Unlike traditional schools that teach out of a textbook, Sora’s learning expeditions are designed to engage students in applied learning. They might learn geometry through designing their own architecture plans, philosophy and rhetoric through analyzing popular films, and anatomy through an expert-led dissection.

Sora’s full-time, fully-accredited program is comprised of creative lessons such as (“The Science of Marvel,” “Engineering Rollercoasters,” and “Philosophy, Logic, and the Art of Argumentation.””) Self-directed independent assignments lead students to tackle questions from “What if Monet was a contemporary artist working with digital tools?” to “What are the economics behind building a tiny house community?” and beyond.

Sora’s engaging learning environment has one goal: to do online homeschooling differently. This is accomplished by providing a dynamic community complete with a mentor network, community-wide events, student showcases and more. Our faculty performs beyond the scope of traditional online homeschool teachers- we encourage students to stay curious and interested at our online learning academy. According to a study on comparing student performance in cooperative learning versus traditional lecture-based learning, students who learn through hands-on projects and small group discussion perform significantly better than lecture-based students in both recall and problem solving.
