Prisma is a Connected Learning Network; a whole new category in K-12 education and a replacement for traditional school. At the heart of our model are two things: (1) a small cohort of geographically co-located kids learning together with the support and guidance of a dedicated learning coach, and (2) a network of these cohorts spread around the world where kids can make friendships, work on projects, form clubs and share ideas. Our vision is that Prisma learners get the best of both worlds: the intimacy and support of a “one-room schoolhouse” (the cohort) and the breadth and diversity of the world’s largest kid-focused learning community (the network). The ability to learn from home and the use of technology and online tools enhance our model, but they are not the heart of our model.
