Education Savings Accounts
Pay for Sora Schools with ESA funding
An Education Savings Account (ESA) is public funding your state sets aside for your child's education — to use on the school of your choice instead of an assigned public school. Sora is an approved provider in four states. If you live in one of them, your ESA may cover Sora's tuition in full or nearly so.
Families can also use 529 savings accounts, education IRA's, college savings plans, and other approved education accounts to help pay for a Sora education.

"Honestly, I expected the ESA process to be a mess. It wasn't. Sora's admissions team walked us through everything, and the state portal was straightforward. We're saving for college instead of paying tuition."

How it actually works?
Apply for your state ESA
Submit your application through your state’s ESA program. This process is separate from your Sora application, and families can typically complete both at the same time.
Confirm eligibility and receive funding
Your state reviews your application, confirms eligibility, and funds your ESA account. Timing and requirements vary by state and program.
Select Sora as your provider
Once approved, designate Sora Schools as your education provider through your state’s ESA portal. Sora is an approved provider in eligible states.
Use ESA funds toward tuition
ESA funds are applied directly toward tuition costs. Depending on your state and funding amount, this may cover all or most of your tuition at Sora.
