When can I enroll my child? Enrollment in Colorado is open from March 8th, 2022 until September 9th, 2022. After this date, any families interested in enrolling their child in familyschool will have to wait until the following school year.

How much does familyschool cost? Familyschool is tuition-free for K-8 students through Prenda's partnership with Education reEnvisioned BOCES.

Students participate in i-Ready, an adaptive online assessment tool that measures what they know and what they need to learn next. This information is used to help Guides determine a learning plan that best meets the needs of each child. 

‍

Guides are also able to stay highly tuned into student progress because of the small and personalized learning environment. They regularly communicate with parents to share successes, challenges, and plans for continued progress. Every Guide is supported by a certified teacher and a team of individuals at Prenda that help monitor student progress and create learning plans to meet the needs of every child. ‍

What is an adaptive online assessment tool? Rather than presenting all students with the same set of questions, this tool adjusts based on responses entered. When a student demonstrates understanding of a particular topic, the questions become more challenging. If a student is struggling with a concept the questions adapt to help determine what they do know. At the end of the day, the goal is for students to always be working at their learning frontier—that sweet spot between too easy and too difficult. This tool helps students do just that. 

With familyschool, you will be there to guide them as they discover their gifts and talents, seek out challenges, and become empowered learners. You’re not on your own though. Prenda will provide you with an onboarding experience to help you help them have an incredible experience. This includes support to understand the learning model, implement the curriculum, select a set of online tools, access a library of project-based lessons, and more. 

In addition to the social platform for Prenda parents to ask questions and connect, our support team is available daily to lend a helping hand. You can reach out to them anytime at support@prenda.co. 

When you become a familyschool parent, you’ll be invited to join an online social platform that helps Prenda parents connect. Many share stories, exchange ideas, ask questions, and even arrange field trips. Prenda also uses this tool to keep parents informed, share exciting news, and post about upcoming events.
