Other virtual programs range from free (with limited peer & teacher interaction and often dry, repetitive curriculum) to traditional private schools (costing upwards of $40,000/year). Prisma’s tuition is as low as it can be while sustaining our programs (which is why we aren’t able to offer sibling, military, or other discounts). There’s no added fluff! Your child’s tuition primarily goes to support the educators who power Prisma.
- Approximately half of your child’s tuition goes directly to their mentor coach. Prisma coaches are expert educators (we receive at least 100 applicants for every coach we hire). We show we value them with competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits. 100% of our coaches are returning for the second year in a row, which means they’ll foster even stronger cohort bonds and mentor relationships!
- Prisma’s interdisciplinary project-based curriculum is designed from scratch by our world-class curriculum team, most of whom have PhDs or Masters in specialty areas of education. They create themes around topics kids love that equip them with the skills to thrive in the future.
- A portion of tuition is allocated to the best learning tools available on the market that are embedded into our curriculum. We also dedicate a portion of tuition to partnerships, such as dual enrollment through ASU.
- A portion of each learner’s tuition goes to fund Prisma Scholarships, enabling learners to join Prisma who couldn’t otherwise.
