Victoria Ransom and Alain Chuard founded Prisma in 2020. Victoria & Alain are impact-driven serial entrepreneurs who spent most of their careers in technology. Like so many parents, their worldview changed upon the birth of their three children. Suddenly the world’s challenges and the rapidly changing future felt urgent and personal. This was the beginning of their quest to completely reimagine school.
They assembled a dynamic founding curriculum and coaching team (you can read more about us here) with deep experience in education—from former school founders & principals to Harvard education researchers to Teacher of the Year award winners. Their vision is at the foundation of our program structure, curriculum, and coaching philosophy. One of those founding team members, Kristen Shroff, is now Prisma's CEO.
"We founded Prisma because we wanted a future-focused, flexible school that our three children would love. We could never have imagined the joy and confidence that Prisma would bring to so many children and the lifelong friendships that would be formed."
