We chose Prairie Sky School because we want our kids to love learning. Prairie Sky’s approach to learning through Art, Community, and Nature means that our kids learn through fun adventures in our community, providing them with joy and connection. Because they are not given number grades or tests, our kids don’t have to be anxious about performing at a certain level; rather, they get to be themselves and pursue learning activities that spark their curiosity. While it may seem like a lack of grades would mean that, as parents, we lack information about our kids learning, this is not the case. We learn more about what our kids know and do from thoughtful feedback, pictures, and discussions provided by our kid’s teachers than any numerical grade or short comment could teach us. We are also so thankful for the way that the school allows for deep ongoing connections with teachers and other students. Finally, Prairie Sky School is a place where our kids get to live reconciliation and base their learning on respect for and connection with the First Nations and Metis people of this place.
