We love it when prospective students experience Sora for themselves! Details and registration information for all of Sora’s visit day events are available to families after the Intro Call.
4. Complete an online application
The final step is to apply online. We have a rolling admissions process and enroll new students three times a year, in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Our application requirements include:
- Application Fee - Sora Schools requires a $50 application fee. If your student is offered admission and enrolls, the application fee will be applied to your tuition.
- Admissions Application (Parent/Guardian Portion) - Background information and family details.
- Admissions Application (Student Portion) - The student provides insight into their academic background, interests, and critical thinking skills.
- Academic Records - Upload student's unofficial academic records from the last 1-2 years.
- Teacher Evaluation - This evaluation should be completed by an academic teacher who can evaluate the student's social, emotional, personal, and character attributes.
- Additional Supplements (optional) - These may include letters of recommendation, portfolio work, writing samples, and/or individualized learning plans. We also accept the SSAT and/or Character Skills Snapshot.
- Parent Meeting - 45-minute Zoom meeting to understand your student’s unique strengths and goals and explore how Sora’s program can best support their learning journey.
- Student Interview - 30-minute Zoom interview with a member of the Admissions Team.
- Flexible Tuition Application (optional) - Flexible tuition is our need-based tuition assistance program. If you're interested in flexible tuition, you can apply for a grant during the general application process.
Applications are now open for August 2026. We review applications on a rolling basis, in the order in which we receive them.
