Go on your child's learning journey together.

Like homeschooling, with superpowers

Families who choose the Parent Coach program enjoy all the fun and connection of home-based learning but without concerns of gaps in learning, social isolation, or the nagging fear of not doing "enough."

Just like learners in our full Mentor Coach program, Parent Coach learners have full access to Prisma's comprehensive, innovative curriculum. They're part of a close-kit, consistent peer cohort, and they receive an accredited Prisma transcript.

How does Parent Coach differ?

The program title says it all! Who's your child's Mentor Coach: You or an expert educator on the Prisma team? (Don't be dissuaded with fears that you won't do a good enough job. You definitely can! And, a Prisma Support Coach is also available help you ensure your child is on track.)

Review your child's work 2-3 times weekly and provide them with academic feedback. Where needed, encourage them to revise and improve their work. Prisma provides guidelines for what strong work looks like.
Estimated time: 30 - 60 mins / week
#3 Assessments & Badge awards
Determine when your child reaches mastery and what badges they're on track to earn. Complete a brief assessment form that your Prisma Support Coach reviews to approve your feedback.
