Our financial model
Other virtual programs that offer a personalized learning experience with 1-on-1 mentorship and collaborative peer opportunities cost as much as $40,000 per year.
Free and lower cost options come with little to no teacher support; inconsistent and infrequent peer interactions; and dry, repetitive, one-size-fits-all curriculum that’s often pre-recorded with learning measured by multiple-choice tests.
Prisma’s tuition is intentionally set to be sustainable. There’s no added fluff because we’re passionate about accessibility and creating a positive impact!
Your child’s tuition primarily goes to support the educators who power Prisma.
- 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.
- 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 coaching team receives competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits. (Prisma's coach retention is 100% for the 2nd year in a row, and we're so grateful coaches aren't a revolving cast of low-cost contractors!) The Parent Coach program passes the savings to you if you take on the role of mentoring your child 1-on-1 and providing personalized academic feedback.
- A portion of each learner's tuition also goes to fund Prisma Scholarships, which enable kids to join Prisma who couldn't otherwise.
Check out our Grades 4-8 or High School program for more details about what’s included in your child’s Prisma tuition.
