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 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.)
