Yes, but students have more flexibility when they do it than at a traditional school. As students only attend each Sora expedition twice per week, they are able to do their independent work and projects during breaks in the day. A student should plan for six hours of work per expedition per week; two hours are synchronous sessions with an expert and peers, and up to four hours of independent work. If students desire, they may complete all their work during the school day, leaving their evenings for family, friends, or other activities.
