Lots of homeschool families are looking for more support with sourcing curriculum and building community but don't want to fully stop being their child's teacher and guide. Learners in grades 4-8 whose parents are experienced homeschoolers or educators who are prepared to serve as their child's mentor coach—regularly meeting with them and giving them feedback on their academic work—tend to thrive in the Parent-coach program. Learners who are part of this program still experience every other aspect of Prisma (project-based curriculum, daily live workshops, extracurricular opportunities, accredited transcripts, etc.). The only difference is that you are your child's mentor coach.
