How involved do parents need to be?

Art & Technology are subjects regularly incorporated into our themes. Sometimes, they are the focus of a whole theme (for example, when learners code digital games for the Games for Change theme), and, more frequently, learners can choose an art or technology project as one of the options within a theme. For example, learners who choose the Podcasting project in our Unsolved Mysteries theme learn how to use audio editing technology. In our 8 Billion Stories theme, learners have the choice to complete a filmmaking, dance, music, or theater project. 

In high school, learners earn 2 Technology credits, 1 Art credit, and have the opportunity to craft custom art or technology focused electives in partnership with their coach.

Learners can also choose to join learner-led Clubs, coach-led Enrichments, or partner-program Amplifiers in topics like Coding, Art, Theater, and Songwriting.

Foreign Language: All high school learners take two years of a foreign language of their choosing either within Prisma or via our partnership with Outschool. Prisma lower & middle school learners can elect to participate in a foreign language Amplifier, which is run by a carefully vetted Outschool teacher.
