The traditional school system was designed over 100 years ago to prepare kids for a world that no longer exists, so it’s no surprise that over 50% of kids lose interest in school by 4th grade. Most schools still reward kids for checking boxes, getting the right answer, and following instructions. But, in the real world, success comes from forging your own path, tackling complex problems without clear answers, and collaborating to achieve shared goals. Prisma was built by a team of educators, tech entrepreneurs, and parents who were bold enough to believe a better way of preparing our kids for the future was possible. Research shows there’s a better way. For K-12 education to prepare our children for the future, the following shifts are necessary: Traditional school Prisma Learning model From Knowledge-driven Focus on memorizing facts and information (whether learners grasp the relevance or not) in each school subject to Skills-driven Apply competencies-aligned skills to real-world situations weaving together multiple academic subjects From One-size-fits-all Learn the same content at the same pace as everyone else, based on the needs of the system to Personalized Customize education to match each child’s unique needs and passions and their family’s lifestyle and schedule From Teacher-as-instructor The teacher is the holder of knowledge, and their role is to pass it on to Teacher-as-coach While learners pursue custom learning paths, teachers focus on mentorship
