Capstone Projects at Sora

At Sora, all fourth-year high school students complete a multifaceted reflective work that serves as a mandatory graduation requirement, called a Capstone Project. This project is designed to encourage students to think critically and to further develop the skills fostered during the third-year Industry Mentorship Program.
