| Our graduates are glowing proof of the success of our unique Prairie
Hill educational experience and the Waldorf teaching method. Our
graduates’ high school teachers comment regularly about their
outstanding and unusual level of academic and creative ability,
their desire to learn and to be engaged, their ability to clearly
communicate, and their personal integrity. Prairie Hill graduates
are prepared for accelerated academics, foreign language, and arts.
They carry with them a highly developed capacity for meaningful
social and educational relationships. Prairie Hill graduates
typically go on to college.
When our 8th graders graduate, they go on to be successful in private
and public high schools. Of those students who choose private schools
in Metro Milwaukee, most attend Pius XI, a school known
for its high academic, arts, and sports standards. Nearly every Prairie
Hill alumnus that has attended Pius XI has achieved academic honors
or high academic honors. Other highly regarded private schools chosen
by Prairie Hill grads include Marquette High School and Catholic
Memorial High School.
Alumni who have chosen to attend Wisconsin’s excellent public
schools also often gain honor roll and high honor roll status. Many students
hold honors in academics, letters in sports, and awards in the arts
simultaneously. Our grads typically enter high school at foreign
language level II in Spanish and German.
Prairie Hill grads are involved in the arts, theater, foreign language,
sports, and many extracurricular activities, including: soccer, community
service, campus ministries, yoga, drama, National Honor Society,
