We chose Prairie Sky because of their efforts on reconciliation, the connection with the earth, and the intentionality of the teaching methods. We are happy that our kid understands the importance of connection to the earth, learns different indigenous languages and about the groups of people that coexist on this land (first peoples, métis, settlers, newcomers) and the role we all have towards mending this land. The school is very intentional in its teaching, and they often bring in experts on the topics they want to teach. Our kid has learned about respect for life and is gaining not only important life skills like cooking, navigating outdoors, and gardening, but also more confidence in their abilities. Our kid’s emotional intelligence has increased along with their coping skills. We noticed that their vocabulary and articulation skills also improved through the creative play/learning style of the school. We appreciate that the school’s intention is to work with the families to address the challenges that children face through their educational journey. We were very excited to join the community and have not been disappointed!
