We believe a world-class education should be accessible to everyone. So the Prisma Scholarship Fund gives out over $180,000 in scholarships each year to learners who otherwise wouldn't be able to join Prisma.
Annual tuition is based on the USD currency and is $10,430 for our middle school (Grades 4-8) or $11,630 for our high school (Grades 9-12). Families choose whether to pay annually (with a discount), by session (3 times per year), or monthly, and tuition is pro-rated for mid-year entrants.
Families who receive need-based scholarships typically receive between 10-40% off the full-year tuition. Learn more about tuition and Prisma Scholarships here.
Over half of your child's tuition goes toward employing their expert Learning Coach, who leads their small, tight-knit cohort and mentors each learner 1-on-1! Parents of learners in grades 4-8 who'd be excited to take on the role of Mentor Coach can apply to join our Parent-Coach Program ($4,875 annual tuition). This program is ideal for parents who are experienced homeschoolers or educators who are equipped to serve as their child's mentor coach, regularly meeting with your child and giving them feedback on their academic work. Learners who are part of the Parent-Coach program still experience every other aspect of Prisma (project-based curriculum, daily live workshops, extracurricular opportunities, official transcripts, etc.). The only difference is the 1:1 mentorship, feedback, and support comes from you as a Parent-Coach instead of from a Prisma educator.
Other virtual programs range from free (with limited peer and teacher interaction and often dry, repetitive curriculum) to traditional private schools (costing upwards of $30,000/year), Prisma's tuition is as low as it can be while sustaining our program. There's no added fluff!
Your child's tuition goes to support the educators who power Prisma: Our Team
Check out our Grades 4-8 or High School program for more details about what's included in your child's Prisma tuition.
You can request financial aid within your child’s application.
Within your child’s application you will be asked to state your pre-tax household income along with what you can pay for Prisma. Given this information and any other factors you wish to share, we’ll evaluate your request for a Prisma Scholarship. We have limited spots available at various tuition levels within our cohorts, so we recommend that you both state the maximum you can pay and apply as soon as possible to increase the likelihood of a scholarship being available. Scholarships typically range from 10-40% off the annual tuition for our full program (i.e. Your child may be able to join Prisma's full program for as little as $6,000 per year).
We also have a Parent-Coach program for learners in grades 4-8 with annual tuition of $4,800.
