Victoria Ransom and Alain Chuard founded Prisma in 2020. Victoria & Alain are impact-driven serial entrepreneurs who spent most of their careers in technology. Like so many parents, their worldview changed upon the birth of their three children. Suddenly the world’s challenges and the rapidly changing future felt urgent and personal. This was the spark that ignited their dream to partner with the brightest minds in education to create a school that inspires a love of learning and equips kids with the skills they'll need for the rapidly changing future.
They assembled a dynamic founding curriculum and coaching team (you can read more about us here) with deep experience in education—from former school founders & principals to Harvard education researchers to Teacher of the Year award winners to curriculum designers with expertise in STEM, Humanities, and Instructional Design. The vision they shared with our founding families and educators is at the foundation of our program structure, curriculum, and coaching philosophy. One of those founding team members, Kristen Shroff, is now Prisma's CEO.
