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 (more here!) 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. One moment a student may be asking about the American Civil War and the next someone needs help with Nietzschean Philosophy. One moment a student may be asking about rocketry, and the next someone needs help with an app to address the effects of climate change. 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. Students often work with advisors to consider what they might want to learn next, and figure out how to overcome roadblocks.
You will help to build our model too: we’re a unique school and a start up. 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. Whether you’re interested in curriculum development, creating vibrant and engaging remote experiences, or how to run a startup, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute and learn.
Salary
The starting salary for full-time roles for US-based candidates have an annual salary of $53,000 - $65,000/year, based on experience. If you are to convert to a full-time employee, Sora offers a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, and life insurance, a retirement plan with company matching, stock options, and generous Paid Time Off. We’re excited to build a team with diverse perspectives and backgrounds and encourage candidates to apply even if they don’t have experience in all the following areas.

What You'll Do
- Serve as a House Advisor and coach students one-on-one: Faculty members serve as House Advisors to 18-20 students, meeting daily with the group to provide academic guidance and support. Additionally, faculty actively collaborate with students and their families throughout their time at Sora to identify and supply necessary resources and support, serving as their first point of contact and primary support person, offering feedback on their progress, and generally facilitating their educational journey at Sora.
- Facilitate learning experiences (Expeditions, Activities, and Independent Studies) for students: Expeditions are six-week learning modules for our students, helping them develop knowledge and abilities while allowing them to explore interests. We have a growing library of expeditions developed by faculty and curriculum designers and work with faculty on developing new offerings. Activities are student self-guided learning experiences where faculty provide feedback and assessment. Independent Studies are student-developed learning experiences where faculty assist in providing expertise, coaching, feedback, and assessment.
- Develop new learning experiences and improve current expeditions: Faculty members will develop new learning experiences with the guidance and support of curriculum staff on an annual basis. Faculty will also continuously improve current expeditions on an ongoing basis in collaboration with curriculum staff.
- Track student progress and goals: Using our internal software and other tools, ensure students meet their learning goals and document feedback for students, parents, and Sora team members. Provide ongoing feedback on student performance to all stakeholders.
- Support overall school, community, and company growth: We are a new school and organization, and we look to each team member to help us build the right model, culture, processes, and policies. We are growing and will need you to grow and change with us!
- Communicate with the team, students, and guardians: As a fully remote workplace and school, we expect each community member to communicate proactively and thoughtfully. We use internal software, Heartbeat, Zoom, and other technology to enable this.
What We're Looking For
- Experience: Experience should be at the secondary or postsecondary level in 2 or more of the following areas is desirable: Honors level experience with Algebra I through Calculus, Honors level experience with 2 or more of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Environmental Science. Experience with coding or robotics preferred.
- Student focused: Experience working high school students and a belief that adolescence is a special time of life with its own specific joys and opportunities. You’re honored to be a part of it and respect our students’ ability to drive their own education, with our support.
- Subject matter expertise: A broad, demonstrated understanding of the academic area, with clear expertise in various component parts.
- Sora academic model & philosophy alignment: Appreciation for and experience with student-led, progressive education and a desire to build something new for students and for the world.
- Excited to build a new school and education model: Interested in being part of a unique hybrid school-tech start up model and excited to dive straight into ambiguity (and resilient when we learn more and change course).
- Critical thinking: You are intellectually curious, with strong critical thinking skills, and a deep interest in furthering your own learning.
- Communication skills: Responsive, professional, and understand working with widely ranging stakeholders both kids and adults; proactive at building relationships in a remote setting.
- DEIB Investment: Invested in furthering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Sora through curricular design and implementation as well as participation in the Sora community. We take seriously our commitment to build and support a widely diverse community of students, families, and team members and look for faculty members who believe that this is vital to education, and ideally have experience fostering it in the classroom.
- Bonus Points: Experience with virtual learning, passion for independent learning, familiarity with a variety of tech tools and platforms, and/or experience in a startup environment.
