Prairie Sky School Vision
We educate children holistically through Art, Community, and Nature.
Our Purpose ~ To deliver the Saskatchewan Curriculum through:
Art … where our curriculum is integrated with visual and performing arts offering mindfulness, expression, and creativity in a natural, beautiful, and purposeful environment.
Community … by nurturing an ethic of support and care:
- As individuals, we are open, empathetic, and socially responsible.
- We foster inclusive, holistic relationships that start with individuals then blossom out into the larger community and world.
Nature … through an indigenous lens we care for:
- The Natural World: We foster our interconnection to the natural world; land, place, people.
- Human Nature: We celebrate the balance of Head, Heart, and Hands (critical thinking/academics, social/emotional learning, experiential learning/real-life skills) and support the freedom to be who we are.
- The Nature of Learning: We honour our students’ intrinsic desire to learn and thrive in a safe and holistic environment with effective leadership.

The remaining portion (up to 50%) is raised by countless volunteers through fundraising, donations, and sponsorships that are managed by the PSS Scholarship Foundation. Due to COVID-19, we lost almost 6 months of fundraising opportunities and because of health regulations, our overall fundraising plan will look a little different this year.

They read the story of the Giving Tree and walked to see the large tree that was being cut down by Kinsmen Park. The Cattails were able to identify tree parts in the large pile including bark, rings, trunk, branches and twigs, as well as leaves.
