About

Prenda makes it easy to open a K-8 microschool in your home, studio or office. We start with an adult guide who cares about kids and believes in the power of learning. Often this is the mom of one of the students. She recruits a class of up to 10 students, and we provide everything she needs to run a microschool - training, support, software, curriculum, and funding so she gets paid. In

Prenda provides all-in-one support for running K-8 microschools, offering a plug-and-play software platform, wraparound coaching, and a curated learning system designed for small, neighborhood-based classrooms. The model emphasizes student-led, project-based learning with ongoing training for guides and administrators. The goal is to enable individuals to start and manage microschools in their community with comprehensive tools and support.

Prenda offers a plug-and-play microschool software platform to manage enrollment, track progress, process payments, and build marketing websites. It provides a four-mode learning day (connect, conquer, collaborate, create), projects aligned to each child’s interests, and adaptive diagnostic tests in math and reading to customize curricula. The product includes year-round academic coaching, ongoing training for empowerments of learners and guides, and a Guide Toolkit with Curriculum Overview. Customers receive a dedicated microschool setup specialist and personal guide coach for support at every step.
