School Description

Founded in 1965, The Prairie School in Racine, Wisconsin, is one of the country's finest independent,child-centered, college-preparatory day schools for students age 3 through grade 12. We develop humane, tolerant, creative, well-schooled, self-confident, and environmentally responsible leaders through our rigorous academic programs that enhance individual talents and abilities. We focus on personal character with an emphasis on our "7 A's" philosophy: shaping academic, artistic, athletic, altruistic, active, accountable, and adaptable leaders who are well prepared for success in university and graduate school studies. Service to the community is reinforced at each grade level.
