Students receive credit for these units and abilities through
three core learning experiences: Expeditions, Activities, and
Independent Study Expeditions. These experiences look slightly
different from middle to high school, and are designed to
support students academically and developmentally as they
progress through Sora’s program.
Expeditions
Expeditions are group synchronous learning experiences. But
they aren’t like traditional classes found in most public, private,
and online homeschool curriculums. Instead, they are engaging,
interdisciplinary, and student-centered explorations of relevant
topics such as Artificial Friends: AI in Literature and Film, Sports
Technology, History of Rock Music, and Financial Literacy 101.
Activities
Activities provide an asynchronous and independent pathway
for students to work on projects that cover new depths
of knowledge and abilities. Our Activities Library is full of
asynchronous projects, experiments, books, interesting articles,
and videos we’ve created for students to earn credit for units
and abilities within a six week cycle.
(Activities are currently only available to high school students)
Independent Study Expeditions
Independent Study Expeditions provide avenues for Sora
students to engage in a student-proposed project that supports
additional depth, breadth, and individualization to the Sora
experience. Starting with a guiding question, students partner
with a faculty member who acts as their mentor during this
course of study as they explore and answer their guiding
question, then present their findings.
