Microschools Made Easy
Prenda provides the structure, tools, and support you need to start and run an amazing microschool.
Microschools are small learning communities led by inspiring people we call guides.
Learning should be fun. Teaching should be simple.
Prenda is an evidence-based approach to learning that fosters student leadership, personalization, and community by helping inspiring parents and teachers guide small-group learning communities we call microschools.
Core values
Prenda’s core values are the foundation of our culture. Prenda Guides model the values, students embody them, and parents see how they impact the lives of their young learners in all that they do.

Start with heart
We see others as human beings with infinite value and unlimited potential. We reject labels and categories, focusing instead on humans who deserve empathy and inclusion.
Dare greatly
We discover our gifts and purpose, set big goals, then take small steps to achieve them. We hold ourselves to a high standard and we bravely continue when we hit a roadblock.
Figure it out
We see ourselves as capable problem solvers who do whatever it takes to learn. We fearlessly question, we curiously tinker, and we stubbornly persist in our efforts to learn.
Foundation of trust
We generously extend trust to others and work hard to earn their trust in us. We assume good intentions and approach other people with empathy, curiosity and compassion.

Learning > Comfort
We choose to keep learning, even when it’s hard. It may be tempting to avoid taking risks, but we know that meaningful learning and growth happen outside of our comfort zone.
