Our mission
Everyone deserves a world-class, future-focused education, not just the 0.1% who can afford it today.
The problem with traditional assessment
Traditional assessment practices, particularly in the form of high-stakes testing rampant in schools today, create immense stress and limit the ability of students to revise their mistakes and improve over time.
In a world where a single low test score can jeopardize a student’s dreams, students are stuck in fearful learning. While the threat of these consequences might drive engagement in the short term, it wreaks havoc on students’ mental health and creates a society with a Pavlovian association between learning and fear.

Our unparalleled curriculum puts students in charge of their education. With over 400 interest-based classes and a mastery-based assessment system that rewards trial and error, your student will fall in love with the world we share while developing essential 21st-century skills.

One of our favorite parts of Sora has been the opportunities it has given Owen to have a say in his own learning. The variety of unique expeditions has helped him find interests he didn't know he had.
