Student Life at the Academy at SOAR: a Community Where Growth, Connection & Adventure Thrive
At SOAR, student life is more than classes and assignments — it’s about belonging, exploration, and growth. On campus and out in the field, students form deep friendships and supportive bonds that make learning feel personal and meaningful.
What Life at the Academy at SOAR Feels Like
Life at SOAR: More Than School — It’s a Journey of Growth and Connection
It’s not just the instructors or staff who make the Academy at SOAR such a supportive place — it’s the students themselves. Their teamwork, encouragement, and shared growth create a community that’s truly one of a kind.
Every day brings moments that build character: shared meals, late-night talks under the stars, morning routines, expedition prep, and the feeling of belonging to something bigger. SOAR isn’t just a school — it’s a chapter of life where students discover who they are and grow stronger together.
Supporting the Whole Student: Mind, Growth, and Connection
Student-Centered Approach
At the Academy at SOAR, student life is built around total wellness — supporting not only academic success, but emotional and social growth as well.
Ongoing Support
Many of our students continue working with their personal therapists or psychologists throughout the school year. We make sure there’s space and structure for that continued care.
Collaboration for Success
We partner with parents, educational consultants, and therapists to track each student’s progress. At the end of each term, families receive an Achievement Report that celebrates growth and milestones.
