The learning of foreign languages is so important and gives children an insight to people beyond our country.

We believe that PHWS will help teach our children to respect the world, others, earth, self and to think.

My son’s teacher, Yuletide Faire, the plays, basketball, the good teachers…

Its simplicity–lack of superficial values.

The reverence for the children.

We like the loving nurturing atmosphere throughout the whole school.

There is beauty and depth in all aspects of the child’s day. The teachers understand a child’s development and teach just what the children are ready for at that stage.

I see a genuine love between teachers and their students.

Prairie Hill allows a child to be a child.
Walking down the halls and hearing the children singing– and just everything else.

I think the parent support of the school is unmatched to any other, and the commitment of our teachers is phenomenal.

Waldorf children don’t think out of the box – they don’t even know that a box exists.

The special way that academics is approached so as to maintain a love of learning and exploration – so the child doesn’t get burned out and so he develops a creative curiosity.

Prairie Hill provides an environment to nurture the child’s natural curiosity to explore and learn…and how we/he can affect the world/his environment in a positive way.

I love everything! I love the hands-on approach, the rhythms, the connection to the earth and the spirit life, the community involvement, the arts and handwork early language exposure, single-teacher continuity.

…the beauty of the school.

It’s like taking a deep cool drink for a thirsty spirit.

They have a great understanding of children’s developmental phases that meets the needs of the children in a way not addressed in traditional philosophies. From an 8-year veteran public school teacher

I love what a Waldorf school does socially for the child, the class and the community. No one is left out. Students help each other and are taught true love and respect.

I love the strong math and science taught in our curriculum.

The reverence and beauty that all subjects are approached with. Waldorf still emphasizes finding beauty in many things which I think instills respect for the subjects. The depth to which they learn each subject penetrates each child deeply and stays with them.

Prairie Hill is truly a school where children come first.

I love that our parent/teacher conferences are scheduled for one hour…and we still go over.

Prairie Hill provides a strong partner we need to maintain a healthy, wholesome environment in our home. I finally found a healthy balance for the fast lane.
