2026/27 Enrollment Status Update (published July 27 ,2026):
The upcoming academic year begins on August 31. We currently have a waitlist for certain live workshop times, but still have at least 2 seats available for all grade levels and programs Prisma offers (grades 4-12).
All Prisma Scholarships for the 2026/27 academic year have been awarded. We were able to give $361,000 in need-based scholarships this year, which is more than double what we were able to award just two years ago!
We have a rolling admissions process, which means we don’t have a hard application deadline, but, as cohorts fill up, we don’t overcrowd them.
We have limited space in each cohort, and if a spot isn’t available in a cohort that’s a fit for your child, we’d add them to a waitlist for the launch of a new cohort that matches their needs (e.g. academic rigor, grade level, time zone, interests, etc.).
We admit rising 4-8th graders (equivalent of UK Years 5-9) to our Lower & Middle School programs at the start of each 6-week cycle. We admit rising 9-11th graders (equivalent of UK Years 10-12) for the full academic year and, occasionally, at the start of Winter Session (which begins in early December). We typically don’t admit rising 12th graders.
Learners who join Prisma later in the year still have an orientation experience with an intentionally crafted ramp-up. When a new learner joins an existing Prisma cohort mid-year, they’re met with openness, support, and warmth, as Prisma learners are incredibly welcoming and kind!
