Works Here: Sora is a truly unique educational model that gives students both a rigorous, project-based learning experience AND the flexibility of working from wherever they and their computer happen to be. I have worked at other virtual schools that boast about their individualized learning programs when all that really means is that students go through boring learning modules at their own pace and meet once a week with their teacher and 100+ other students. Not at Sora! Here, small class sizes and intentional community-building allow students to build genuine relationships with their teachers and other students; there is no hiding behind a screen at Sora. In addition to an amazing community, Sora offers truly unique learning experiences that help students explore their passions, make interdisciplinary connections, and actually prepare for the real world....

Parent: Our daughter is a first year junior at SMS and I can't thank the school enough for the extraordinary experience she has had! SMS knows girls and provides support for all aspects of our daughter's life--academically, socially, spiritually. She has flourished here and I think it is because she feels understood and heard by her teachers and classmates. It really has made a difference in her academic performance and overall well being. The river setting of SMS provides opportunities for water activities, STEM studies, and daily reflection. The sports and arts programs are strong and inclusive. Our daughter is challenged academically and we have seen marked improvement in her writing, analytical, and verbal communications skills. We have been quite impressed by the school's transition to distance learning and community engagement during the coranvirus pandemic. SMS is a great value and I highly recommend the school to other parents!... Read 88 reviews
