Learning isn't one-size-fits-all

Kids naturally love learning, but studies show kids lose interest in school by 4th grade. When education is tailored to each child's needs and passions, their love of learning skyrockets. Kids love Prisma because of our:

Themes

From STEM to Social Studies, kids gain real-world skills and master academics through interdisciplinary themes like "Cities of the Future" and "Build a Business."

Projects

In each theme, coaches support kids in tackling a project of their choice: from pitching an invention to building a history exhibit to writing a sci-fi story.

Workshops

Coaches lead daily workshops where kids collaborate, debate, and dive into real-world simulations, like Shark Tank investing or re-homing an endangered species.

Badges

Coaches give individualized feedback, and kids earn Badges— from Data Analysis to Persuasive Writing—for mastering grade-level skills on their Prisma transcript.

Our Prisma Story

"Prior to enrolling our son, Major at Prisma, we struggled with his behavior at public school. He was getting into fights, was called a "distraction" because he learned at a different pace, and he was struggling with the one-size curriculum. His spirit was broken, because he felt like a failure. He said “Mom, please don’t make me go back to that school.”

Since starting Prisma, Major has matured in his course work and at home. We don’t fight about chores or getting his work done, he is highly motivated to engage with his coach and peers, and he feels understood and supported. Hearing him laugh with his peers as I work in my office makes me smile. His engagement and motivation since joining Prisma is at levels we have NEVER seen when he attended public school. He never wanted to join any extracurricular activities, now he is in the cooking enrichment and taking Japanese!

Prisma has reignited the spark and joy in Major and has brought back the amazing human we knew was there all along."
