Prairie, A Leader in Sustainability Education

Sustainability is becoming a deep-rooted value within family life, communities and educational institutions. While “going green” is not a brand new concept, no school is approaching the initiative quite like The Prairie School.

Through the school’s layered methodology and hands-on approach, Prairie is being recognized as the leader in sustainability education. Students, faculty and staff fulfill eco-conscious missions through personal responsibility and collective action. Prairie’s green goal comes full circle through the disciplines of curriculum, habits and practices, and plant and facilities.

All of the sustainable programs encourage thoughtful leadership and decision making, so the students truly become the direct impact in bettering their surrounding environment. The range of activities – Energy and Green Building, Procurement and Waste Streams, Environmental Health, Community Partnerships, and Curriculum Innovation – allows the students to find a personal cause that has meaning to them and translate that individual passion into new ideas and valuable effort.
