“Being based in Atlanta, GA, but currently living in India, I am able to take Sora with me on my travels, which is perfect for my busy schedule. This allows me to gain exposure to the world outside while focusing on my education and remaining connected with my friends and favorite teachers. Our daily house meetings feel like family, where everyone comes together to discuss their day or connect online - we even play games! The variety of live classes, asynchronous activities, and flexible schedule offered allows me to complete my schooling no matter where I go.”

“Sora gave our daughter more than just an education—it gave her stability, purpose, and the freedom to grow, no matter where life took us. Through hospital stays, international travel, and seasons of deep transition, Sora was a constant. The flexibility, mentorship, and student-led approach allowed Addison to thrive both academically and personally. We’re so grateful for a school that met us exactly where we were—and helped carry us forward. Thank you for being part of our miracle.”

We were looking for a school I could work ahead in, and SORA IS THE ONE!!! I am so glad to have found the wonderful team and students of Sora and to have learned so much in the interactive classes. We are not a student body; we are an interconnected family!

Sora has been transformative for our middle school daughter. This is her first year at Sora and she is thriving. She is taking on so many new tasks, becoming independent with her own learning, and getting so many important life skills with group projects and clubs. She is so happy, both socially supported by teachers and peers, and academically challenged and supported. I can happily say that our family is grateful for our choice, and to watch her having such a positive transition to middle school is priceless. Sora's model of schooling meets the demands of today's world, and I can see all the careful planning, and preparation they do to make it all run seamlessly.
