Story

Prairie School of DuPage offers an environmental, place-based curriculum for pre-K through grade 8. We are located on 42 acres of woods and water in Wheaton Il.

We follow a traditional yearly school calendar.

Prairie School has an open-classroom model with mixed-age classrooms. The student-teacher ratio is kept at a 12/1 maximum. This allows for authentic project-based and place-based learning through small group and individual instruction.

In addition to traditional academics, Prairie School of DuPage emphasizes outdoor education, nature studies, the arts, music, foreign language, yoga, and theater.

Prairie School of DuPage is fantastic! My 5 year old son is currently enrolled in the Forest Program. He wakes every morning (regardless of the weather) excited to get outside with the wonderful Ms. Olsen and Mr. G. The staff at Prairie are caring and hard working. The parent involvement is like none other. Their events are one of a kind, such as the Harvest Feast and overnight camping. We have been a Prairie family for the past 3 years and will continue for years to come.

A truly great school. Currently we have two children enrolled, and we must have interviewed 20+ schools in the Chicago-land market. Our kids come home everyday ecstatic about what they have learned, and what they are doing in school. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers and staff!!!

Prairie School of DuPage has given our children an elementary and middle school experience we couldn't get anywhere else. Outdoor, environmental education as an integral part of the curriculum. True project-based learning in small groups. Worksheets are a rarity. The kids start their day outside. Every day. The middle schoolers have 3 camping trips a year they plan themselves. My kids have an incredible sense of accomplishment, and independence from these trips, and the many projects they are given and create themselves at school. I can't say enough about the great education, skills, character, and incredible memories the middle school program has given our children. It's been a well-made investment in our children's future!

Prairie School has been an incredible school for our boys. With plenty of time out doors to play and be kids, they are learning and thriving and making friends for life. I am grateful for the community of parents we've found too! Can't give enough stars for Prairie School!
