Welcome to Prairie

We believe a well-rounded education is the key to lifelong success. Our students are encouraged to pursue and achieve excellence in all things. Here, your child will realize their dreams as a scholar, artist, athlete and leader. Prairie faculty expose their students an unmatched array of topics and ideas. This is where young people will learn to create, collaborate, and communicate. Where they will become equipped with the tools to think, reason, write and question. This is where your child will take ownership of their dreams while chasing down their passions.
