Day-to-Day

What does a typical day look like?

Back to all frequently asked questions

There are as many different schedules as there are learners at Prisma! We live in different time zones, have a wide range of interests, and engage in varying outside commitments. Prisma allows for substantial flexibility while also prioritizing collaboration and community. You’ll get to build your child’s schedule collaboratively with your learner’s mentor coach when you enroll.

If you are wondering whether Prisma could work with your family’s schedule, the answer is likely yes! But if you want to have a sense of how you could build your learner’s day, read on.

Sample Schedule: 

  • Standup (30 min): Daily cohort bonding, announcements, and a meaningful day-starting activity like learning to organize your workspace, taking a group picture for the Yearbook, or writing thank you notes to an expert guest visitor from last week.
  • Optional Support Squads/Office Hours (30 min): Time to check in with your mentor coach, work with peers, or sign off to begin independent work.
  • Independent work time: Learners have gaps in their days to complete independent tasks in math, reading, writing, and their theme projects. Tasks are managed through a custom Prisma start page, task lists, and a chat platform with coaches. This time is flexible, and learners are encouraged to build the schedule that works for them and allows them to get outside, participate in extracurricular activities, and pursue their passions!
  • Workshop (60 min): Depending on the day of the week, this might be Project Workshop, Literacy Lab, or Collaborative Problem Solving. Coaches facilitate engaging, interactive workshops that connect to the current curriculum theme and build academic and real-world skills.
  • Math Lab (3x/weekly at time of day based on math grouping and preferences, 40 min): Math schedules and workshop lengths differ by your learner's math level. Our math workshops are fun—yes, really!—and ask learners to solve interesting, real-world problems in groups, while also making sure they understand the math skills they are working on independently.
  • Coach-led enrichments, electives, extracurriculars, & free time: Depending on how learners choose to organize their time, and if they choose to sign up for coach-led enrichments, such as songwriting or cooking, or foreign language classes, they may choose to add more afternoon workshops. High schoolers also allocate time to Foreign Language and Fitness & Wellness graduation requirements and may additionally tackle dual enrollment, AP, and other optional pathways.
