What is Prenda?
A completely new take on education
Prenda is a new kind of school. We take the best of learning environments, technology, and passionate people to create an environment that encourages creativity, problem solving, and 21st century skills. Our mission is to create lifelong learners. Read more about our approach here.
How does it work?
Prenda microschools are small groups (8-10 kids) meeting in a home, office, or studio. We’ve found a great blend of in-person interaction, personalized learning through technology, and passionate adults committed to guiding the learning experience. We are more concerned with the helping kids learn how to learn than we are with regurgitating information. We care more about growing into confident, empowered learners than we do about getting the answers right the first time. In our model, kids take responsibility for their own learning, unlock their potential, and see amazing results. Read more about how our learning model works here.
Where do adults come in?
We're looking for passionate people who love learning and are committed to helping open doors for the kids in their community. Do you want to help us build the next generation of child education? Feel free to read more about how learning guides are critical to a Prenda class.
