“Levi loves the kids and community. He is constantly think-tanking ideas for Prisma. He is looking for ways to be helpful and involved in the lives of others. He’s being challenged in his assumptions and worldviews. I have *never* signed up for something and gotten this much more than I anticipated. Lastly, the relationships he has formed with staff are beautiful!”

Your tuition helps fund –

Designed-from-Scratch Curriculum

Prisma’s interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum is designed from scratch by our in-house curriculum team, most of whom have PhDs or Masters in various specialities. They create standards-aligned themes around topics kids love that equip them with real-world skills to thrive in the future.

Competitive Compensation for Coaches

About half of your child’s tuition goes directly to their Mentor Coach. Prisma coaches are expert educators, many of whom have Masters degrees in Education. We hire only 0.5% of teacher applicants, and our coaches receives competitive salaries and benefits. If you choose the Parent-Led Option, we pass the savings to you.

Prisma for All - Scholarship Accessibility

A portion of each learner’s tuition also goes to fund Prisma Scholarships, which enable kids to join Prisma who couldn’t otherwise.

Learn more about where your tuition goes or watch our scholarships video.

Prisma
Scholarships

We believe a world-class education should be accessible to everyone. So the Prisma Scholarship Fund gives out over $280,000 in scholarships each year to learners who otherwise wouldn’t be able to join Prisma.

Prisma Scholarships range from 10-40% off tuition for our Prisma Mentor Coach and High School programs only (not available for the Parent-Led Option)

Need-based, with household pre-tax income below $150,000 USD

Scholarships are awarded for the full academic year, with first-round offers sent each April and subsequent offers made on a funds-available basis
