Flexible Tuition is a need-based tuition assistance program similar to those used by most independent schools. This program allows families to apply for reduced tuition, taking their financial circumstances into account and making a Sora education affordable to qualified students who could not otherwise join our school community. Sora encourages all families to apply for Flexible Tuition if they think they may qualify.
Affording Sora
Sora is a diverse and inclusive community of learners, where every student has the opportunity to thrive regardless of financial circumstances. In addition to our affordable base tuition, our flexible tuition program allows us to offer admission to students from a wide variety of backgrounds and family circumstances.
We are committed to offering a Sora education at a tuition level significantly lower than other private schools. Unlike other schools, the vast majority of our tuition goes to the faculty who work directly with your student, rather than expensive overhead, administration, and campus upkeep.

- Families who wish to use their 529 savings accounts for K-12 private school tuition should work with their accountant or financial professional to determine how to best utilize the funds.
- Sora Schools currently accepts ESA funds from a handful of states to help families pay for tuition. As legislation and ESA programs quickly evolve around the country, we will update this information accordingly as a helpful resource to prospective and current Sora families.
