The mission of Prairie Hill is to offer education in an atmosphere that promotes individual growth as well as caring for others and the Earth.
Prairie Hill is an independent nonprofit Montessori school founded in 1981. We are committed to environmental sustainability and are Nebraska’s first wind and solar powered school. The campus is focused on the outdoors with acres of open space, woods, trails and prairie. There is a big red barn with horses, cats and chickens. We enjoy and learn from our organic gardens and fruit orchard. The children's learning environments include a historic Farmhouse, new Meadow House, versatile Prairie House, and innovative Earth House.
Prairie Hill is a year-round learning center offering Montessori programs for children ages 18 months through 8th grade. There are just over 100 students on campus. The individual and small group Montessori instruction within multi-aged communities offers rich social and academic benefits to children. The children participate in planning and cooking healthy meals each day. Their hands-on learning extends to composting, recycling, caring for the animals and earth, as well as participating in service opportunities.
