About
Sora is a virtual middle and high school. We have fundamentally reframed the curriculum and approach followed by traditional schools. Through a combination of synchronous learning experiences (expeditions) and individual learning options (activities and independent study), students chart their own path through middle and high school.
Our faculty lead expeditions and support student individual learning by serving as a guide and coach for our students: sparking their interests, creativity, and self-driven learning. The content of expeditions is rooted in our educational philosophy but may be adapted to your own interests and the interests of our students. You?ll explore topical questions to help them work through their projects.
You help students think broadly and delve deeply, teaching students about your subject areas as well as areas beyond your expertise. As an essential aspect of being a community of learners, experts also serve as house advisors?serving as a trusted point of contact for a group of Sora students as they explore the program and structure their Sora journey.
You will help to build our model too: we?re a unique school and a startup. We look for people excited by this. You?ll have the opportunity to push our educational model, student experience, and company forward by participating in cross-team, department, and functional projects. You will have the chance to design learning experiences and to make the ones we have even better.
