"We believe that every student should have a school and an education that's really designed for you, your learning style, your pace, your interests, and ultimately your goals and aspirations."
In this conversation, we talk with Indra Sofian, the co-founder of Sora Schools which is an online, project-based high school where students explore their interests and future careers.
We talk with Indra about the sham of standardized testing, the importance of project-based learning, and how we've opened Pandora's Box in education.
