This 30 minute long welcome session is designed to kick off our year together, meet other families in our part of the world, and start building the connections that will carry us through the year ahead.

To support that, I’ve created this interactive Padlet where we can:
✨ Introduce ourselves and where we're from
✨ Share your Prisma journey and what brought you here
✨ Celebrate your learners’ passions
✨ Ask questions and support one another

👉 How to use it:

Click into each column and add a post - feel free to include photos, emojis, or just a few words.

Comment on other families’ posts if something resonates or connects with you.

Come back any time! This space will be here throughout the year as a living hub for our community. I will share the link on our Mighty A&O Quick Links page.

The win of the day for us was that my learner actually woke up on time for her first Zoom. Stand Up starts for us at 7:30 AM and Cody was worried that she wouldn't wake up in time. (She did have a quick nap after Stand Up.)

# data[].attributes.headline
We learnt about Prisma through another Prisma family. My husband Eugene came home very excited one day and told me all about what he learnt about Prisma. We researched it more and reached out to David so we could get Bella into Prisma for this year. And here we are 😀

Hi, I'm Ricky, my parents are Awilda and Ken. We are from NYC but we are living in Danang, Vietnam. I like playing video games, snowboarding, playing piano and boxing. I'm starting 7th grade and I'm exited to meet you all!

# data[].attributes.body
I first saw Prisma on a Worldschool FB post a few years ago. I've been watching and waiting for the right moment to join. Now that Ricky is a little older and we are settling down after 5 years of travel, I believe it's the perfect time. I am excited to see how he grows in Prisma and I look forward to meeting new families. We love project based learning.

I'm Linda, Cody's Mom (Alex's cohort). I am from the Netherlands, but have lived in Vientiane, Laos since 2003. My son Jay (21) studies in China. Cody loves to play games (Roblox) and to cuddle with our 3 dogs.

# data[].attributes.body
I was looking for an online school and found Prisma online. There are many things that made me choose Prisma. Their philosophy and values around learning align with mine. I know Cody will like the project based approach (as that was the part of learning she thrived on at her previous school which was an inquiry based IB-school). I like that she still has a class/cohort to interact with on a daily basis. I love that Prisma uses the same MAP-tests as her previous school, to monitor her growth. I can probably list at least another dozen things, but will end my post here.

# data[].attributes.body
My learner can get up very soon for only one time wake-up since the first day of Prisma. Before that I have to wake her up for many times!

Ricky finished his first week with Prisma saying that he loves it even though it's hard for him learning all the new platforms and managing his tasks.  I know that this is all part of the learning curve and that we made the right decision joining Prisma.

It seemed Dora has experienced "hard fun" of Prisma for the first time if what I understand is correct, 'cause she didn't know there are still some ’projects‘ to do after class. She felt not good in the beginning when I reminded her of that, so we talked with this for a bit time to help her understand why there are projects. I was not sure if she understood when we were talking, but she achieved some left projects this weekend with more fun that I can feel she was really happy during the whole progress!
