At Prairie Hill, students think through academic challenges, feel through the arts, and activate their will through hands-on activities. Our curriculum integrates the arts – vocal music, strings, drama, storytelling, movement, painting, drawing and sculpture – with the teaching of math, science, and humanities. Integrating these realms into the lessons leads the child to explore the world through imagination, developing the power of the intellect and a real curiosity and love of learning.

Through daily exposure, art, music, and movement are seamlessly integrated into the curriculum. Singing, playing the wooden flute, and a stringed instrument along with drama and knitting, weaving, sewing, woodworking, ceramics, and gardening are interwoven with the academic subjects to provide a fully integrated experience. Carefully developed age appropriate movement activities are incorporated throughout each day, engaging the child’s body, mind, and feelings to enhance the cognitive and social development. Every child enjoys outdoor play at least twice a day in beautiful woods, gardens, prairie, and playground.
