What makes Sora are the students
What makes Sora are the students
The Monday through Friday daily school schedule is not a block period schedule where students sit in class for several hours back-to-back. Nor is it primarily independent, asynchronous, and self-paced. Instead, our program balances synchronous or live meetings such as Expeditions and participation in student life, with asynchronous or independent working time with Individual Studies Projects and Activities.
Are you concerned about time zones?
At Sora, we provide varying school start times for each of the four time zones in the US.
At Sora, the daily schedule resembles that of a college, featuring morning Standup and afternoon Checkpoint meetings, interspersed with two to three Learning Expeditions.
“I like the way the classes are structured, with us finishing the final project as we go through rather than a huge pileup of work at the end.”

How does math work at Sora?
What is Standup & Checkpoint?
“I like that the school doesn't bring out textbook classes, and they all actually feel interesting.”
Middle School Student
One student studied French and European history while his parents were on sabbatical in Nice, and another traveled the country in an RV with his family, visiting National Parks and creating an app that provided helpful information for other visitors.
Yes! Sora’s middle and high school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which allows us to meet the requirements of all 50 states and colleges and universities. The high school has a secondary accreditation with Cognia, which is widely recognized both within the U.S. and internationally. Additionally, our program is recognized and approved by the NCAA which provides students the ability to play collegiate sports.
