Introducing The Sora Program at The Classical Academies
In Fall 2025, Sora and The Classical Academies launched a bold new middle school. The Sora Program is a full-time online program within The Classical Academies. It will be built upon the one-of-a-kind curriculum, software, and training that powers Sora’s award-winning private school.
Blending Sora’s forward-thinking, project-based curriculum with The Classical Academies’ deep-rooted commitment to personalized learning, this partnership offers students something truly different–a dynamic, flexible, and connected school experience that molds to students’ goals and preferences.
