To truly prepare students for this rapidly changing world, we begin with
teachers who know what students will need to understand and do in order
to succeed. They get it. Our teachers are among the best in the country not
simply because we recruit nationally to find the finest among them, but
because their passion is to equip their students with the skills, capabilities,
habits, and emotional intelligence they'll need. They're innovators in the
classroom, too, and they enjoy the freedom to seek out and apply the very
best practices in education.
The new demands of a 21st century education include deep analytical and
creative thinking; comprehensive communications skills, both oral and
written; the ability to lead--and to be a vital member of teams; thorough
digital and quantitative literacy, including emerging theories in math,
science, and technology; a truly global perspective; adaptability, initiative,
and risk-taking; and finally, both integrity and ethical decision-making.
While other schools may be trying to develop curricula to address these
critical educational challenges, at Prairie we are already there. As a result, our
graduates don't merely meet the demands of the new century: they thrive.
The 21st Century demands an entirely new set of skills
and capabilities. Building them in our students is a Prairie
school hallmark.
